DAE Chin Construction Co.ltd

DAE Chin Construction Co.ltd, a for-profit South Korea–based construction and facility maintenance contractor, delivers small-dollar infrastructure and grounds maintenance services as a prime contractor exclusively to Navy Installations Command at U.S. military facilities in South Korea, competing under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations.

The vendor operates from Jinhae, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, and has held SAM.gov registration since November 2016. DAE Chin's federal award footprint consists entirely of purchase orders issued by Navy Installations Command for facility maintenance work at Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae, Camp Humphreys (Pyeongtaek), and related Navy installations in South Korea. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on routine infrastructure repairs and facility upkeep — roof repair, handrail replacement, water treatment plant filter media replacement, water monitoring equipment calibration, LED lighting fixture installation, storm drainage system repair, flooring repair, landscape and lawn care services, debris removal, and shade structure repair. Representative recent awards include a $171.2 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order (December 2023) for roof repairs at CFA Chinhae, a $112.1 thousand contract (March 2023) for storm drainage system repair base-wide at CFA Chinhae, a $110.3 thousand purchase order (March 2024) for handrail replacement at CFA Chinhae, and a $65.2 thousand contract (August 2025) for filter media replacement at Building 802's water treatment plant.

Navy Installations Command accounts for 100 percent of recent awards and combined potential value, with 45 purchase orders totaling $1.4 million; the Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces and the Department of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command placed 2 awards each ($59 thousand and $45 thousand combined). Activity peaked in 2022–2023 at seven to eight awards annually and has declined sharply — one award in 2026, three in 2025, and four in 2024. Only two awards with combined potential value of $27 thousand carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. DAE Chin's work spans All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (15 awards), Landscaping Services (10 awards), Electrical Contractors (7 awards), and Roofing Contractors (6 awards) by NAICS category; PSC concentration clusters around Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping (10 awards), Repair or Alteration of Water Supply Facilities (7 awards), and Repair or Alteration of Other Non-Building Facilities (5 awards). The vendor maintains no subcontracting footprint — all 49 awards are direct prime work — and sits on no government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs. All awards are firm fixed-price, with contract values ranging from approximately $4,000 to $171,000.
