Core Contracting Group

Core Contracting Group, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, delivers water infrastructure, road and site construction, and facility maintenance services to the National Park Service as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates predominantly in the Pacific West Region, with primary NAICS concentration in water and sewer line construction (237110) and heavy civil engineering construction (238110).

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region accounts for 28 of 34 awards and $55.8 million of the $56.7 million combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio — effectively 100% of near-term pipeline. The remaining work is scattered across the National Park Service National Office (3 awards with no dollar disclosure), the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region ($449 thousand), the NPS Intermountain Region ($348 thousand), and the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 ($107 thousand). This concentration reflects Core Contracting Group's regional specialization and Lake Mead National Recreation Area's sustained infrastructure replacement cycle.

Core Contracting Group holds a $45 million ceiling Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with the National Park Service Pacific West Region, awarded February 19, 2026, running through February 18, 2031, set aside for total small business. The MATOC anchors the vendor's position and has generated three task orders to date ($2.5 million combined potential value). Representative prime work under the MATOC and related delivery orders includes a $1.65 million lake upgrade and wave attenuator project at Echo Bay (awarded September 21, 2026, due June 2, 2027), an $877 thousand Boulder Beach Pond 3 lagoon liner replacement (awarded August 31, 2026, due July 2, 2027), a $369 thousand wet well rehabilitation contract at Temple Bar and Katherine Landing (awarded June 24, 2026, due December 28, 2026), and a $1.24 million lake courtesy dock replacement order (awarded September 24, 2024, due May 16, 2025). Earlier definitive contracts for core capability include a $2.08 million Willow Beach Road repave (awarded September 9, 2025, completed March 18, 2026), a $1.2 million Boulder Beach main sewage lift station replacement (awarded August 29, 2024, due April 21, 2025), a $335 thousand Las Vegas Bay water tank recoating project (awarded August 15, 2024, due July 15, 2025), and a $455 thousand Hemenway Harbor fishing pier replacement (awarded September 19, 2022, due May 30, 2023). Work spans water treatment infrastructure, sewer systems, road resurfacing, dock and pier construction, site preparation, and emergency utility repairs across Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.

Activity has tracked flat to declining in recent years — five awards in 2022, two in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and five in 2026 — with $2.9 million in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. In the subcontractor role, Core Contracting Group performed extended public launch ramp work at Hemenway Harbor under SNC Tallimat, LLC (two sub-awards dated March 5, 2025) and demolition and recycling at Lake Mead under Teya Enterprises LLC (one sub-award dated January 18, 2024). The subcontract footprint is minimal; the vendor is substantially a prime operation.

Service Contract Inventory captures $1.4 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in FY2022 alone across roughly 2.6 FTEs delivered to federal customers, with no SCI invoicing recorded in FY2024 and FY2025. The FTE trajectory shows 1.4 FTEs in FY2024 and 1.1 FTEs in FY2025 across SCI-reportable work — a steep decline that reflects either shift to non-SCI contract types (goods, micro-purchases, classified work) or contraction of federal service-contract activity. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime records ran at a flat $375.30 per hour across all percentiles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 6% of total contractor hours, with one named subcontractor reported. SCI is a partial view: it covers only federal service contracts above $150,000 and excludes the vendor's goods-based and construction work, which dominates the award footprint by dollar value.
