CJW Contractors, Inc.

CJW Contractors, Inc., a minority-owned, Black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor on federal construction and facility renovation projects, predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The company holds a 100-prime footprint with no subcontract awards in the source data, meaning all awards are direct to CJW as prime.

CJW's core capability is design-build, design-bid-build, and construction management for federal facility renovation, repair, alteration, and new construction, with heavy concentration in mechanical systems, plumbing, HVAC, structural work, and building envelope services. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation competing nearly exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides on regional and national federal construction vehicles. Recent representative work includes an $18.77 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from Navy Installations Command (March 2026) for comprehensive renovation of Building 902 at the Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force facility at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Maryland; a $10.42 million task order from Naval Sea Systems Command (March 2025, revised) for Building B-1500 B-wing conduit replacement at Naval Base Dahlgren, Virginia; and a $5.59 million delivery order from Air Education and Training Command (August 2023) for repair and renovation of buildings at Silver Flag in Panama City, Florida.

Customer concentration is pronounced and naval-heavy. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates by potential value (17 awards, $1.48 billion combined potential value), while GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region leads by award count (50 awards, $556.3 million combined potential value). Together these two customers account for 91% of all combined potential value across the 209 awards. Army National Guard Readiness Center, HHS, and Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region round out the top five by count but represent only modest dollar volume. The portfolio spans 45 customer agencies but exhibits extreme concentration in Navy facility work and civilian federal building maintenance in the National Capital Region.

CJW holds six active parent IDIQs as prime awardee. The $750 million Washington Area of Responsibility Small Business Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) 2024–2032 with Naval Facilities Engineering Command is the largest and has generated four task orders ($33.6 million combined potential value) since July 2024. The $450 million Hampton Roads Area of Virginia MACC with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (April 2024 award, April 2029 completion) carries one delivery order to date ($11.1 million). CJW also holds a $95 million Naval Support Activity Crane design-build / design-bid-build MACC with NAVFAC (September 2023 award, September 2028 completion); an $18 million FBI Global Multiple Award Construction Contract (GMACC) Region 1 vehicle for National Capital Region, Quantico, and Clarksburg work (March 2026 award, September 2031 completion); an $8 million National Institute of Standards and Technology mechanical construction multiple-award IDIQ for Gaithersburg facility systems work (May 2026 award, May 2029 completion); and a $50 million Air Force Materiel Command Northwest Florida regional MACC for Eglin and Tyndall Air Force Base work (September 2022 award, September 2027 completion). These vehicles position CJW to respond to task orders across the National Capital Region, Hampton Roads, Florida, Indiana, and NIST's Maryland campus.

Activity has declined notably in recent years. The portfolio recorded 10 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 year-to-date — a contraction from the 2022–2023 peak. Awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months total six (combined potential value $20.9 million), presenting limited recompete exposure in the immediate term relative to the vendor's $2.31 billion potential-value footprint.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts covered by SCI shows $37.9 million across FY2022–FY2025, with peak invoicing of $14.8 million in FY2022 and $13.8 million in FY2023, declining to $9.3 million in FY2024 and $16 thousand in FY2025 — a pattern consistent with the slowdown in award velocity. Workforce scale on SCI-reportable contracts peaked at 33.5 FTEs in FY2023 and fell to 5.3 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts show a median of $1.00 per hour and a 90th percentile of $549.64 per hour, reflecting mixed labor categories and cost structures across facility renovation tasks. Critically, across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 52% of total contractor hours on average, with 247 named subcontractors reported — indicating CJW routinely builds delivery teams with heavy subcontractor reliance despite competing as prime. The top construction NAICS codes are Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (108 awards), Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors (32 awards), and Other Building Finishing Contractors (15 awards), grounding the portfolio in mainstream federal construction work rather than specialized trades.
