Daco Construction Company Inc.

Daco Construction Company Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Norfolk, Nebraska, provides airfield infrastructure construction and modernization services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in precision navigation and lighting systems installation, runway surface and equipment upgrades, and airfield facility restoration across the continental United States and Hawaii.

Daco's federal work concentrates heavily with the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA accounts for 96% of recent awards by count, split between FAA Headquarters (14 awards, $7.3 million combined potential value), FAA Franchise Acquisition Services (2 awards, $1.2 million), and FAA Southwestern Region (1 award, $192 thousand). Secondary customers include the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District (8 awards, $40 thousand, all under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement W9128F10A0009), the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (1 award, $2.8 million), and the Air Force Reserve Command (1 award, $967 thousand). Dollars and volume track together — FAA Headquarters dominates both — with the Navy award representing the only material outlier in potential value.

Representative work spans precision navigation system installation, runway lighting modernization, and airfield facility upgrades. Recent projects include a $934,550 total small business set-aside definitive contract with FAA Headquarters for Air Route Surveillance Radar antenna platform installation in Oahu, Hawaii (ultimate completion December 31, 2025); a $578,791 set-aside contract for Instrument Landing System upgrade at Del Rio International Airport, Texas (December 31, 2025 completion); a $902,780 set-aside contract for Lake Charles Regional Airport infrastructure replacement in Louisiana (December 31, 2027 completion); and a $759,533 set-aside contract with Franchise Acquisition Services for shelter construction and installation at the Grand Island Regional Airport and Business Center in Grand Island, Nebraska (July 30, 2027 completion). Work is categorized primarily under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (10 awards) and Construction of Radar and Navigational Facilities (13 awards by PSC code).

Activity has been intermittent but consistent — two awards in 2021, one in 2023, four in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026 year to date — with six awards (combined potential value $3.6 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. Combined potential value stands at $12.5 million, with $12.3 million already obligated. Daco holds no parent IDIQs or GWACs; the single identified vehicle is the Army Corps of Engineers Blanket Purchase Agreement W9128F10A0009, which generated six task orders totaling $40 thousand. Daco operates as a pure prime, with zero subcontract footprint in the source data.
