Cebuana Construction Inc.

Cebuana Construction Inc., an SBA-certified 8(a) Program Participant and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) headquartered in Ventura, California, is a general contracting firm providing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and building systems services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 97% of recent awards. The company holds SBA certifications in the 8(a) Business Development Program and EDWOSB categories, with current 8(a) certification through October 28, 2030. Cebuana competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides, with the vast majority of prime work reserved for 8(a) participants; one full-and-open delivery order (the Air Force generator replacement) and one total small business set-aside represent the exceptions.

Cebuana's capability portfolio centers on facilities maintenance, infrastructure modernization, and building systems upgrades at federal office buildings and installations. Representative work includes a $12.8 million Competitive 8(a) contract with GSA Region 9 for 24/7 HVAC services at the 11000 Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles (awarded September 2023, running through January 2026), a $3.6 million 8(a) sole-source roof replacement at the same facility (September 2023), a $2.2 million 8(a) sole-source FBI chiller replacement and electrical infrastructure upgrade at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco (December 2025, completing December 2026), a $2.1 million full-and-open Air Force delivery order for generator replacement at March Air Reserve Base under a Defense Logistics Agency indefinite-delivery contract (September 2025), and a $1.6 million 8(a) sole-source NOAA contract for Electronic Program Guide system replacement at Weather Forecast Offices in California (September 2025, completing March 2027). Work spans electrical panel replacements, transformer upgrades, cooling tower and chiller replacements, HVAC modernization, building control systems installation, elevator maintenance extensions, and emergency facility repairs—predominantly self-performed rather than subcontracted.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward GSA Region 9 and the FBI. GSA Region 9 accounts for 18 awards (49% of award count) with $10.9 million combined potential value, anchored by the large multi-year HVAC and roof contracts at the Wilshire building complex. The FBI Headquarters Division accounts for 4 awards (11% of award count) with $15.8 million combined potential value—the highest dollar concentration among all customers—driven primarily by the $2.2 million chiller and electrical upgrade at San Francisco. These two agencies alone represent 72% of recent awards by count and 98% by combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Veterans Affairs represent the remaining customer set, each with one to three awards at substantially lower dollar values.

Cebuana holds two parent vehicles with open task-order capacity: a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Engineering and Installation Directorate Los Angeles (awarded September 2025, $4.5 million ceiling, completing September 2028), under which the Air Force placed the March Air Reserve Base generator replacement delivery order, and the GSA Region 9 Multiple Award Contracting (MACC) vehicle. The indefinite-delivery structure with DLA enables ongoing task-order issuance across federal agencies for facilities maintenance services through 2028.

Activity has grown year over year from three awards in 2022 to twelve in 2024, with seven awards in 2025 and one to date in 2026. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $9.1 million and will face recompete window in that period—including the Wilshire HVAC contract (January 2026), the van Nuys cooling tower replacement (October 2025), and the GSA electrical power quality study (April 2026). The January 2026 Wilshire HVAC completion represents a key recompete-at-risk event, given the contract's $12.8 million value and the vendor's demonstrated delivery capability on that platform.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across Cebuana's federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $13.8 million over FY2022–FY2024, with minimal activity in FY2022 ($75 thousand) and FY2023 ($298 thousand) and significant ramp-up in FY2024 to $13.5 million. The FY2024 spike reflects mobilization on the large Wilshire HVAC and related GSA contracts. The SCI dataset shows roughly 1.5 FTEs in FY2022, zero FTEs in FY2023, and 7.8 FTEs in FY2024 across prime and sub records—a trajectory tied to contract award timing rather than company-wide staffing. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ran around a median of $362.25/hr, with senior labor pricing through $1,328.85/hr at the 90th percentile and junior labor near $251.60/hr at the 10th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 30% share of contractor hours, with 17 named subcontractors reported across the vendor's prime work—indicating a mixed delivery model where Cebuana self-performs core mechanical and electrical work while engaging subs for specialized scope.

Cebuana operates as a prime on nearly all federal work (97% of awards) and subcontracts on only one identified award—a 2021 time extension with OCS Construction Services Inc. for WLA emergency generator replacement, where Cebuana provided concrete, paving, structural supports, and generator installation labor as a sub. The vendor's teaming posture reflects a prime-focused strategy with modest sub engagement rather than a feeder-sub business model. Geographic concentration is pronounced: nearly all work is concentrated in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and greater Southern California region, reflecting GSA Region 9 and FBI field-office work. The company has not yet demonstrated ability to win or execute work outside the West Coast federal facilities footprint.
