Empresa De Construccion Y Transporte Eterna S.A. De C.V.

Empresa De Construccion Y Transporte Eterna S.A. De C.V., doing business as Eterna, is a Honduras-based construction and transportation company that serves the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor for design-build and fixed-price construction projects across Central and South America, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio. Eterna operates as a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and has been registered in SAM.gov since 2004.

Eterna's capability portfolio centers on military and facility construction, utilities installation, and infrastructure enhancement at U.S. Southern Command locations and partner nation facilities throughout Latin America. Recent representative work includes a $37.65 million definitive contract with the Army Corps of Engineers for design-bid-build construction of an aviation fuel storage facility (three 100,000-gallon tanks, offload skids, and POL operations building) at Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras (awarded September 2025); a $14.1 million two-phase design-build definitive contract for humanitarian assistance infrastructure improvements at Soto Cano (awarded September 2023); a $2.95 million delivery order for warehouse renovation at Soto Cano (awarded September 2025); and a $2.76 million delivery order for road repairs at Soto Cano (awarded September 2024). The vendor also executes construction for security cooperation initiatives in partner nations, including police stations in Colombia, medical clinics in Honduras and Peru, fire stations in Honduras and Colombia, and educational facilities across the region.

Customer concentration is acute and Army-dominated. The top five federal customers account for 82% of awards by count and 96% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile leads with 82 awards valued at $524.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers with 5 awards valued at $438.9 million, the Department of the Army with 16 awards valued at $135.6 million, the Department of the Army Southern Command with 56 awards valued at $76.1 million, and the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region with 10 awards valued at $32.7 million. All work funds defense or Army programs; Eterna does not serve civilian agencies.

Eterna holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The most recent IDCs are a $99 million multiple-award Central America design-build MATOC awarded July 2026 with ultimate completion July 2031, a $15 million single-award IDC for small construction requirements at Soto Cano awarded June 2025 with ultimate completion June 2030, and a $49 million multiple-award South America and Panama design-build MATOC awarded June 2023 with ultimate completion June 2028. Earlier vehicles include a $49 million multiple-award FY23 Central America MATOC awarded September 2023 with ultimate completion September 2026. Historical parent vehicles in the portfolio include the USACE Mobile Latin American Construction Program 2016–2021 (45 task orders, $53.8 million combined potential value) and multiple other indefinite delivery contracts under the Mobile District umbrella. The $99 million FY 2026 Central America MATOC represents Eterna's largest vehicle position and reflects sustained confidence from the Army Corps of Engineers for regional construction work.

Activity has been substantial over the award history reflected in the source, with 212 total prime awards and a combined potential value of $1.26 billion. However, recent trajectory shows decline: 14 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 9 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and only 2 in 2026 as of the source date. The vendor faces a significant recompete cliff: eight awards valued at $59.3 million combined potential are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing Eterna to recompete risk on active delivery orders maturing through mid-2027. The portfolio reflects almost entirely design-build and construction-focused work — commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220) dominates at 208 of 212 awards, with specialization in miscellaneous building and administrative facility construction (PSC codes 5101/5111) across 184 of 212 awards. Place of performance spans Central America (Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Belize, El Salvador), South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Guyana), and selected Caribbean locations, all supporting U.S. military operations and security cooperation objectives under U.S. Southern Command strategic direction.
