DFS Construction, LLC

DFS Construction, LLC, a Maryland-based construction and international development services firm, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal construction and infrastructure projects, with no SBA set-asides across its footprint. The company is a subsidiary of Freight Management Services, LLC, and specializes in design-build construction, facility renovation, and technical services delivery in overseas locations—particularly sub-Saharan Africa and Central America—for civilian development and diplomatic agencies.

DFS Construction's recent award activity centers on three customer agencies accounting for 96% of combined potential value. USAID Mozambique leads with four awards totaling $68.2 million in potential value, anchored by a $28 million central-region IDIQ (awarded June 30, 2022, ultimate completion February 26, 2025) and a $14 million Mozambique Mission Construction Services IDIQ (June 30, 2022, ultimate completion February 26, 2025). Against these vehicles, DFS executed an $11.9 million firm fixed-price delivery order for the Maringanha Secondary School design and construction in Pemba City (awarded May 15, 2023) and a $331 thousand delivery order (April 19, 2023). The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers each anchor $49.8 million and $49 million in potential value respectively. State's portfolio includes a $799.5 thousand definitive contract (June 24, 2026) for design and build of a floating dock in Ecuador at the Manta Port Terminal and a $781.3 thousand definitive contract (December 6, 2024) for specialized technical expertise securing unmonitored radioactive material in Mozambique. USACE awarded DFS a $49 million multiple-award MATOC (July 22, 2021) for design-build construction requirements across Central America, from which DFS received a $1 thousand minimum-guarantee task order (July 28, 2021, ultimate completion July 21, 2026). USAID Haiti contributes $18.4 million across two awards. Secondary customers include the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement ($6.9 million, three awards) and USAID Mexico ($14 million, one award).

DFS Construction's award count has declined from three awards in 2022 to one in 2026, though combined potential value of $207.3 million masks this contraction — the portfolio reflects a front-loaded, large-ceiling-value posture rather than sustained ordering volume. Only three awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Work is performed across Mozambique (schools, security facilities, storage infrastructure), Ecuador (maritime facility), the Philippines (building roof replacement), and Central America under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company does not subcontract; all sixteen awards in the source are prime contracts or IDIQs. NAICS concentration runs toward Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (six awards) and Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (five awards).
