Civil Works Contracting LLC

Civil Works Contracting LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business based in Wilmington, North Carolina, provides general construction and civil infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with 97% of recent awards held in that role. The company is a for-profit limited liability company competing predominantly under HUBZone and Total Small Business set-asides, though it also wins full-and-open competitions.

Civil Works' customer concentration is acute and anchored by the Department of Navy. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates both potential value and transaction volume: 21 awards worth $808.2 million combined potential value represent 62% of the vendor's combined potential value across all 116 recent awards. The United States Marine Corps places 45 awards valued at $83.3 million, clustered at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region and NASA Stennis Space Center round out the top five, holding $134.5 million and $113.1 million respectively. These five agencies account for 90% of the vendor's combined potential value but sit across only 72% of awards—a split driven by Naval Facilities Engineering Command's handful of large IDIQ vehicles dwarfing the Marine Corps' higher-volume smaller delivery orders. The company has worked with 23 distinct federal agencies over the source period, including the Air Force Materiel Command, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the USDA Forest Service.

Civil Works' capability portfolio centers on construction and civil engineering at military installations and federal facilities. Recent representative work includes a $13.8 million HUBZone delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for site preparation and facility refresh at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point (awarded August 2025, completion July 2027), a $7.36 million Total Small Business delivery order from NASA Kennedy Space Center for shoreline repairs (awarded June 2025, completion October 2027), and a $7.19 million Total Small Business definitive contract from the Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District for berm repair and earthwork at Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (awarded July 2024, completion September 2025). Work spans pavement repair, runway rehabilitation, building renovation, environmental remediation, site preparation, and infrastructure maintenance at defense and civilian federal facilities.

The vendor holds five active IDIQs anchoring its prime footprint. The largest is a $324 million multiple-award General Construction contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for Marine Corps installations at Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune (awarded September 2021, extending through September 2026), from which Civil Works has drawn 12 delivery orders valued at $33.1 million. A single-award $95 million Civil Paving MACC with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded January 2023, extending through January 2028) has generated nine delivery orders worth $53.2 million. Smaller vehicles include a $50 million Total Small Business Air Force Materiel Command contract for Eglin Air Force Base, a $49 million Army Installation Management Command HUBZone IDIQ, and a $40 million USDA Forest Service IDIQ. The Marine Corps Installation East Construction 2015–2020 vehicle and several Navy indefinite delivery contracts N4008523D0014 and 80SSC018D0008 also carry substantial task order volume.

Activity trajectory shows consistent but modest annual output. Civil Works averaged ten awards per year from 2022 through 2023, declined to nine in 2024, and dropped to five in 2025 with only one award recorded in 2026—the early-year data is sparse. Eight awards worth $46.4 million combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a recompete cliff. Of these, the $14.1 million Building 4397 renovation at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point (completion December 2025) and the $4.77 million parking lot repair at Camp Lejeune (completion March 2026) are the largest exposures.

Civil Works is a prime-heavy operator: 97% of awards are priced as prime contracts or IDIQs. Subcontract footprint is minimal—only four sub-awards appear in the source, none from the recent heavy-volume period. Named prime contractors Civil Works has worked under include Bering Straits Construction Solutions (culvert and stormwater repair at a class yard, awarded November 2025), Eagle Eye Electric (railroad maintenance and repairs at Fort Stewart, awarded August 2024), and Stampede Ventures (fire protection and building-site repairs work, 2022). The vendor's sub engagement is negligible; SCI data shows zero average sub-hours share across prime contracts, indicating the company builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractor hours. Service Contract Inventory records show zero invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, typical for construction-heavy vendors where the work is priced firm-fixed and does not threshold into SCI labor reporting; the 0.2 FTEs recorded in FY2024 (one named sub engagement) align with the minimal sub activity.

Civil Works' award portfolio is heavily weighted toward commercial and institutional building construction (38 awards) and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (32 awards), with secondary depth in highway and street construction (17 awards) and landscaping services (7 awards). The PSC distribution mirrors this: repair or alteration of miscellaneous buildings (36 awards) and construction of miscellaneous buildings (15 awards) dominate, with infrastructure repair (8 awards) and grounds maintenance (7 awards) filling secondary slots. The vendor competes almost exclusively in set-asides—HUBZone and Total Small Business designations recur across the prime footprint, and the vast majority of awards carry explicit set-aside language. This posture has anchored Civil Works to Navy and Marine Corps customers whose regional procurement strategies and installation-maintenance budgets align with HUBZone-certified construction providers in the Carolinas. The vendor's geographic concentration at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point, combined with its IDIQ depth with Naval Facilities Engineering Command, suggests limited geographic diversification but deep institutional entrenchment in two customer installations and one contracting organization.
