Elrim Construction Co., LTD.

Elrim Construction Co., LTD., a Seoul-based, minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American construction firm, operates as a prime contractor providing general military facility construction, repair, and modernization services exclusively to U.S. Forces Korea installations, competing on full-and-open merit without small business set-asides across its federal footprint. The company holds a portfolio of 340 prime awards totaling $2.82 billion in combined potential value, with $140.9 million obligated to date, spanning facility maintenance, heating system conversions, barracks renovation, drainage repair, hazardous materials removal, and specialized military infrastructure work across Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps installations in South Korea.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically pinned. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region dominates the portfolio at 229 awards ($2.49 billion, 88% of combined potential value), followed at significant distance by the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Korean Region (26 awards, $258.2 million), the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (47 awards, $41.8 million), and the United States Marine Corps (17 awards, $20.7 million). All customer agencies are DoD entities executing work within South Korea; together, the top five customer organizations represent 96% of recent award volume. The potential-value and award-count rankings align tightly, indicating sustained, large-dollar engagement with a single customer organization rather than a concentration in a single massive award.

Elrim's vehicle footprint is anchored to four principal IDIQs, all issued by the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region under the General Construction by OMA parent vehicle. The largest—Indefinite Delivery Contract W91QVN14D0032—carries 119 task orders valued at $42.8 million in combined potential. Army USFK Facility Upgrade in Korea accounts for 107 task orders ($24.5 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W91QVN18D0116 for 37 task orders ($22 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W91QVN18D0137 for 20 task orders ($26.9 million). Additionally, Elrim holds a single $245 million multiple-award IDIQ under General Construction by OMA (awarded October 5, 2023, running through October 4, 2028) that has generated 18 task orders ($11 million combined potential) since issuance. These vehicles enable the Army and Air Force to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for discrete infrastructure projects without repeated competitive procurement cycles.

The scope concentration by NAICS and PSC reflects Elrim's narrow focus: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction dominates at 222 awards, with Appliance Repair and Maintenance capturing 108 awards. By Performance Service Code, Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings leads at 150 awards, followed by Maintenance of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings (27 awards). Representative work from the past six months illustrates the portfolio: a $2.86 million repair of the Conventional Munitions Shop at Kwangju Air Base (October 2025); a $2.12 million barracks repair at Camp Humphreys (September 2025); a $1.015 million repair of failed utility infrastructure at Camp Carroll (March 2026); and a $110,481 sand filter media replacement at the B628 Water Treatment Plant (March 2026). Heating system replacements—converting oil-fired systems to natural gas—recur across multiple installations with individual task orders ranging from $240,000 to $840,000.

Activity has contracted sharply. Annual awards fell from 15 in 2023 and 13 in 2022 to 6 in 2025 and only 4 in early 2026. Combined with a shallow recompete cliff—only 8 awards ($7.4 million combined potential) completing within the next twenty-four months—the recent slowdown signals either market saturation at existing USFK installations or a shift in Army procurement strategy. Obligated funding ($140.9 million) represents only 5% of combined potential value, indicating that many awards remain unspent or partially drawn against ceiling amounts typical of firm fixed-price facility contracts.

Place of performance across the entire footprint is South Korea, distributed across named installations including Camp Carroll, Camp Humphreys, Kwangju Air Base, Camp Mujuk, and Camp Walker. Elrim has been SAM-registered since December 2008 and receives no preferential procurement treatment—all awards are competitive merit selections without set-aside designations, reflecting the vendor's standing in the federal construction marketplace for OCONUS military infrastructure support.
