Eastern Construction & Electric Inc.

Eastern Construction & Electric Inc., doing business as Eastern Electric, is a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business that operates as a prime contractor on federal construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance projects, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across its extensive portfolio. Based in Wrightstown, New Jersey, the firm has built a substantial federal footprint anchored to military installations and civilian federal facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region, with 913 prime awards spanning 30 years of contracting history.

Eastern Electric's capability portfolio centers on facility infrastructure work: commercial and institutional building construction, design-build renovation, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) system replacement and repair, roofing, water and sewer line restoration, electrical upgrades, HVAC system replacement, asbestos and hazardous-material abatement, concrete and masonry work, and specialized infrastructure modernization. Representative recent prime work includes a $19.8 million design-build full facility restoration of Barracks Building 5406 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst under a total small business set-aside from the Army Corps of Engineers (awarded December 2023, completion June 2026), an $18.2 million roof deck replacement and barracks modernization at the same joint base (awarded September 2021, completion January 2025), and a $6.89 million dormitory renovation at Building 2424 (awarded April 2025, completion October 2026). Civilian work includes a $6.48 million Department of Veterans Affairs data center electrical expansion in Philadelphia (awarded August 2023, completion May 2026) and a $2.08 million Social Security Administration pipe insulation project (awarded September 2024, completion January 2026), both under GSA Region 3 vehicles.

Customer concentration clusters around defense and civilian facilities in the Mid-Atlantic corridor. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command leads by potential value at $496.4 million across 68 awards (33% of the top-five customer dollar total), followed by the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 3 at $362.4 million across 34 awards. The Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters ranks third at $296.6 million across 12 awards, with the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District contributing $104.3 million across 9 awards and the Army Corps of Engineers New York District adding $56.4 million across 6 awards. Together, these five customers represent approximately 89% of Eastern Electric's combined potential value and capture the vendor's geographic and mission focus: military base modernization, federal courthouse and administrative building renovation, and defense-facility infrastructure improvement.

Eastern Electric maintains positions on five significant IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor holds a $300 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract with Air Mobility Command at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (awarded March 2025, through March 2032) under total small business set-aside, with 507 task orders recorded as its largest parent vehicle by task-order count. A $291.3 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (awarded December 2024, through December 2034) supports construction services at the William J. Hughes Technical Center and related FAA facilities. The vendor also holds a $200 million multiple-award IDIQ with GSA Region 3 for general construction services across the Philadelphia-Richmond corridor (effective January 2023 through December 2026, total small business set-aside), a $75 million multiple-award IDIQ with GSA Public Buildings Service for construction services in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware (awarded May 2026, completion April 2027, total small business set-aside), and manages the Construction and Replacement of Sanitary, Storm, and Water Conveyance Systems vehicle at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Award activity has grown modestly over the trailing five years—eight awards in 2022 escalating to 22 in 2023, then contracting to ten in 2024 and 16 in 2025—reflecting the episodic nature of facility renovation contracting. Only seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $11.8 million), presenting minimal near-term recompete pressure and indicating a broad pipeline of work extending into 2026 and beyond.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $18.4 million across FY2022–FY2024: $4.8 million in FY2022 (7.7 FTEs), $4.2 million in FY2023 (4.1 FTEs), and $9.3 million in FY2024 (7.3 FTEs). These figures represent a strict subset of the vendor's service-contract activity and do not capture goods, micro-purchases, or full enterprise revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $506.23 per hour, with a range from $224.19 per hour (10th percentile) to $2,584.20 per hour (90th percentile), reflecting a mix of labor classifications from field technicians to project managers. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for approximately 5% of total contractor hours, with nine named subcontractors reported across the reporting period—a profile consistent with Eastern Electric's self-delivery posture on smaller task orders and its use of specialized subs for HVAC controls, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and structural work on larger definitive contracts. Named subs include Paetzold Construction Co Inc. for utility and stormwater work, Giginis Inc. (Ecopro Painting) for painting, Schindler Elevator Corporation for elevator installation, and CM3 Building Solutions for building automation controls.

Eastern Electric competes exclusively as a prime contractor; the source records zero sub-award positions. The vendor's total small business set-aside designation anchors most of its high-value work, particularly on Army Corps of Engineers and Air Mobility Command vehicles. The firm's competitive posture is tightly integrated with federal facility modernization priorities at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Dover Air Force Base, and GSA Region 3 civilian properties, positioning it as a embedded, repeat-order vendor on refresh and renovation cycles rather than a broadly accessible prime across multiple agencies or contract vehicles.
