Eastern Construction & Electric Inc.

Eastern Construction & Electric Inc., doing business as Eastern Electric, is a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in Wrightstown, New Jersey, that operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal facility construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance projects, with a portfolio of 926 awards spanning 30 years of contracting. The vendor competes entirely under Total Small Business set-asides and partial small business designations, winning work across 36 federal agencies with particular concentration among defense and civilian real-property customers.

Eastern Electric's capability portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction, MEP system replacement and upgrades, electrical work, roofing, HVAC system replacement, water and utility infrastructure repair, interior renovations, and specialized facility infrastructure modernization. Representative work includes a $20 million design-build full facility restoration of Barracks Building 5406 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst under Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District award (December 2023); a $7.51 million dormitory renovation at Building 2424 on the same joint base for Air Mobility Command (April 2025) with named subs including Paetzold Construction Co Inc. for domestic water and fire service lines, Giginis Inc. (Ecopro Painting) for painting, and multi-vendor trades; and a $6.48 million Philadelphia Information Technology Center data center electrical expansion for the Department of Veterans Affairs (August 2023) with Herman Goldner Co Inc. as HVAC controls subcontractor. Smaller-scale work spans building envelope repairs, HVAC remediation, courtroom upgrades, flooring and painting, utility line repairs, and specialized facility work like generator decommissioning and remote tower site preparation.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Air Mobility Command and GSA. The top five customers by potential value account for 89 percent of combined potential value: Air Mobility Command leads with 75 awards worth $498.9 million, followed by GSA Public Buildings Service Region 3 with 34 awards worth $362.4 million, the Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters with 16 awards worth $298.8 million, the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District with 9 awards worth $104.5 million, and the Army Corps of Engineers New York District with 6 awards worth $56.4 million. By award count, the Department of the Army dominates with 539 awards, but that volume translates to lower individual order values compared to the dollar-concentrated customers; the gap between these two rankings reflects Air Mobility Command's strategy of issuing fewer but larger task orders versus the Army's high-frequency, lower-value maintenance work.

Eastern Electric holds four major parent indefinite-delivery vehicles. The Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (IDIQ DAKF2998D0030, $300 million ceiling, March 12, 2025 award, Ultimate Completion March 11, 2032) carries 507 task orders, the vendor's largest vehicle by task-order count, supporting design-build and construction work across real property, utilities, electrical, and MEP systems at the joint base. The General Construction Services in the East Coast Corridor of PBS Region 3 (IDIQ F2860902D0002, $200 million ceiling, January 1, 2023 award, December 31, 2026 expiration) issued 75 task orders supporting construction services across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. A newly awarded May 1, 2026 Multiple Award IDIQ with GSA Public Buildings Service ($75 million ceiling, April 30, 2027 expiration) for general construction services with design-build capabilities across select Pennsylvania and New Jersey counties and all of Delaware provides 66 task orders recorded to date. The FAA's Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA DAKF2900D0001, $291.3 million ceiling, December 19, 2024 award, December 31, 2034 expiration) covers construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance services at the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with 25 task orders; recent activity includes a $46,662 painting delivery order for Building 300 (September 3, 2025). Eastern Electric also holds task order positions under the PBS R3 Large Term East Field Office Repair and Alteration blanket purchase agreement (31 task orders recorded, $10.7 million combined potential value) supporting civilian agencies across the Mid-Atlantic.

Activity has grown modestly but inconsistently over the past five years — eight awards in 2022, 22 in 2023, ten in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 20 in 2026 year-to-date. Twelve awards (combined potential value $11.9 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete. Combined potential value across all 926 awards stands at $1.48 billion, with $358.6 million obligated to date (24 percent of ceiling), reflecting the long-tail nature of the vendor's IDIQ portfolio and the multi-year execution profile of large facility renovation and infrastructure work.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $28.2 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $4.8 million, FY2023: $4.2 million, FY2024: $9.3 million, FY2025: $9.8 million), with FTE workforce scaling between 3.4 and 7.7 government-reported FTEs across those years. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $459 per hour, with senior labor and specialized work pricing through the $2,520 per hour range. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 7 percent of total contractor hours, with 12 named subcontractors reported; this posture indicates Eastern Electric self-performs the majority of facility work and engages subs for specialized MEP trades, controls systems, and material-handling tasks. The vendor does not appear in the sub-award listings provided, confirming it operates exclusively as a prime contractor to federal agencies.
