Edward Collins Contracting LTD.

Edward Collins Contracting LTD., a Canadian for-profit organization based in Freshwater, Newfoundland and Labrador, provides base operations support, caretaker services, and facilities maintenance to the Department of the Navy at U.S. naval installations in Canada as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The vendor holds a single dominant indefinite delivery contract valued at up to $1.3 million, awarded by Naval Facilities Engineering Command in July 2020, which authorizes delivery orders through August 2028 for caretaker services, force protection support, and facilities maintenance at specified locations in Ottawa, Ontario and Argentia, Newfoundland. Edward Collins has delivered over $250 thousand in recurring services under this vehicle through 2024 and remains active with recent task orders as of March 2026.

Customer concentration with the Department of the Navy is nearly complete — 155 of 170 total awards (92% of award count) route to Navy entities, with 54 awards and $3.4 million combined potential value flowing to U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) and 10 awards worth $391 thousand to Naval Facilities Engineering Command. No other agency represents material volume. The vendor's capability portfolio, grounded in the award record, centers on recurring caretaker and base operations support services — the $103.2 thousand annual task orders for recurring BOS caretaker services at Argentia recur annually — and non-recurring facilities work including culvert cleaning ($1.8 thousand, March 2026), shingle removal and installation ($2.4 thousand, March 2024), and wireless edge installation at facility gates ($1.2 thousand, March 2023). Industrial building construction (35 awards) and facilities support services (34 awards) represent the largest NAICS concentration, with housekeeping and facilities operations support (30 awards) as the dominant PSC category.

Activity has remained modest and flat, averaging roughly 2.4 awards per year over the past five years, with only one award recorded in 2026. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months presents minimal risk — only one award worth $103 thousand reaches ultimate completion inside that window. Edward Collins operates as a single-customer vendor dependent entirely on Navy task-order extension under the existing IDC vehicle; the contract extends through August 2028, but annual recurring orders (typically issued in September for the following fiscal year) represent the primary revenue mechanism. The vendor subcontracts minimally — two sub-awards to Oceanetics Inc. in 2024 and 2025 for horizontal directional drilling and onsite support work — indicating that Edward Collins performs the vast majority of work directly. Combined obligated dollars ($8 million) exceed combined potential value ($3.8 million) by 213%, a pattern typical of long-standing, heavily-tasked IDC relationships where cumulative invoicing exceeds the aggregate ceiling stated across active task-order valuations.
