CJW Contractors, Inc.

CJW Contractors, Inc., a minority-owned, Black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) delivering design-build, design-bid-build, and construction management services for federal facility renovation, repair, alteration, and new construction throughout the National Capital Region and at military installations nationwide. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts, with recurring exposure to full-and-open federal construction task orders through GSA and civilian agency vehicles.

CJW's customer concentration is heavily weighted to facility owners in the National Capital Region and naval installations. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) dominates both potential-value rankings—17 awards worth $1.48 billion combined potential value—reflecting CJW's seat on multiple NAVFAC regional MACC vehicles. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region places the second-largest dollar volume at $556.6 million across 50 awards, anchoring CJW's activity in Washington, D.C. facility modernization. Together, these two customers account for 91% of combined potential value across all awards. Other active customers include the Department of the Army National Guard Readiness Center (32 awards, $15.1 million), the Department of the Navy Installations Command (7 awards, $25.7 million), and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $20.1 million). CJW has worked with 45 distinct federal agencies overall.

CJW's primary vehicle portfolio spans six regional MACC contracts and related indefinite-delivery structures. The Washington AOR Small Business MACC 2024-2032 ($750 million ceiling) is the most active vehicle by potential value, with 4 task orders worth $33.6 million; recent work includes an $18.77 million delivery order issued March 13, 2026, for comprehensive renovation of Building 902 at the Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force facility at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Maryland (firm fixed-price, completion March 2029), and a $4.39 million order for exhaust vent and motor replacement at Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. (completion July 2027). The Hampton Roads Area of Virginia MACC ($450 million ceiling), awarded April 11, 2024, carries an $11.1 million delivery order for construction of a P-702 Submarine Logistics Support Facility at Naval Station Norfolk (completion October 2025). The Naval Support Activity Crane construction contract ($95 million ceiling), awarded September 29, 2023, currently holds only a $2,500 minimum-guarantee order. CJW also holds a newly awarded $8 million NIST mechanical construction IDIQ (multiple-award, Total Small Business set-aside, completion May 2029) and an $18 million FBI Global Multiple Award Construction Contract seat for Region 1 (National Capital Region, Quantico, and Clarksburg areas, multiple-award, completion September 2031). The Northwest Florida Air Force Regional MACC ($50 million ceiling) supports Air Force installations, with a $5.6 million delivery order for repair and renovation at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida (completion February 2026, awarded August 2023). GSA vehicles also carry significant task-order activity—Indefinite Delivery Contract 47PM0518D0029 shows 34 task orders worth $66.9 million combined potential value, primarily for National Capital Region facility work.

Activity has declined markedly: CJW received 10 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 3 in the first two months of 2026. Five awards with combined potential value of $26.5 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. CJW's combined potential value across all 208 prime awards is $2.31 billion, with $244.2 million obligated (11% realization).

The vendor's capability footprint centers on commercial and institutional building construction (108 awards), structural steel work (32 awards), and building finishes (15 awards), with smaller volumes in HVAC and plumbing (8 awards) and industrial building construction (7 awards). Concrete named work includes a $7.33 million design-build contract with GSA for the District of Columbia Public Defender Service facility at Judiciary Square, Washington, D.C. (awarded August 2022, completion May 2025), a $6.25 million NRC contract for improvements to office space at One White Flint North in Rockville, Maryland across floors 1 and 12 (awarded April 2022, completion June 2024), a $5.98 million GSA delivery order for Howard T. Markey Courthouse elevator modernization in Washington, D.C. (awarded July 2023, Total Small Business set-aside, completion August 2026), and a $5.01 million USGS contract for exterior concrete and caulking repairs at its Reston, Virginia facility (awarded August 2023, completion July 2026).

SCI-reported federal service contract activity shows CJW invoiced $37.9 million across 48 prime contracts above the $150,000 threshold from FY2022 through FY2024—$14.8 million in FY2022, $13.8 million in FY2023, and $9.3 million in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows roughly 3.9 FTEs delivered in FY2022, growing to 12.3 FTEs in FY2023 and 13.1 FTEs in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported prime contracts ranged from near-zero to a 90th percentile of $899.57/hr, with a median rate of $126.89/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 43% of total contractor hours, and CJW named 173 subcontractors across its prime service contracts—indicating a hybrid delivery model in which CJW self-performs major construction work while subcontracting specialized labor. CJW operates as a prime-only contractor; it holds no sub-awards in the source data. The large sub-hours share on service contracts reflects field-labor outsourcing typical of general construction primes managing union trades and mechanical specialists rather than subcontracting entire project scopes.
