Etolin Strait Associates LLC

Etolin Strait Associates LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified joint venture and Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering commercial and institutional building construction, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure enhancement services to federal military and law enforcement agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and full-and-open designations, with 8(a) competition and total small business set-asides recurring across the prime contract footprint.

Etolin Strait's concrete capability portfolio centers on general construction, design-build, and facilities maintenance work—specifically HVAC system replacements and redesigns, electrical distribution upgrades, mechanical infrastructure improvements, fire protection and alarm system installation and replacement, structural renovations, roofing and window replacements, utility infrastructure work including chilled water modifications and piping replacement, demolition and abatement services, and waterfront construction projects. Representative examples from recent awards include a $10.9 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command for replacement of Pumpwell No. 2 drain pump systems at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (November 2025 award, completion April 2027); a $3.6 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for HVAC plant redesign and structural repairs at Naval Base Dahlgren (April 2025 award, completion April 2027); a $2.5 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for chilled water modifications at Dahlgren (June 2025 award, completion September 2026); and a $400 million multiple-award MACC for maintenance, repair, alteration, electrical, HVAC, demolition, paving, and waterfront work at Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (April 2026 award, completion May 2031).

Customer concentration is significant and heavily Navy-centric. Across 256 recent prime awards totaling $1.27 billion in combined potential value, the top five agencies account for 84% of award count. Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates by dollar volume: 51 awards worth $619.3 million combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command anchors a second tier with 2 awards valued at $400 million, while the Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District places 4 awards worth $102.9 million. The Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division, though placing the highest count (80 awards), carries $55.3 million combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command (31 awards, $30.6 million), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (28 awards, $7.4 million), and Navy Installations Command (26 awards, $26.5 million) round out the active set. The two rankings reveal different buyer profiles: FBI issues many small task orders; NAVFAC's and Air Force's potential values reflect larger, longer-duration infrastructure projects.

Etolin Strait holds five named parent vehicles representing $650+ million in combined ceiling authority. The single-award Competitive 8(a) NAVFAC Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDIQ JOC Blue) carries a $100 million ceiling through September 2029, with 87 prior task orders valued at approximately $42.5 million combined. A parallel single-award Competitive 8(a) NAVFAC IDIQ JOC Gold also ceilings at $100 million through September 2029, with 73 prior orders totaling approximately $12 million. A $249 million total small business set-aside multiple-award IDIQ with NAVFAC for waterfront construction in the Hampton Roads area (awarded September 2024, completion September 2029) supports design-build and design-bid-build projects; three delivery orders totaling $11.08 million have issued to date. The Hampton Roads Virginia MACC—a $95 million total small business set-aside multiple-award utility and mechanical construction IDIQ with NAVFAC through May 2028—has generated 18 task orders worth $35.3 million combined. The $400 million JBLE MACC multiple-award total small business set-aside from Air Combat Command (April 2026 through May 2031) covers family housing and industrial/office building maintenance and construction work at two Air Force installations. A $99 million single-award IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District (November 2024 through November 2029) supports general construction and design-build services for FBI Academy work in Quantico, Virginia, and naval installations in Hampton Roads.

Activity has grown sharply—two awards in 2022, thirty-four in 2023, forty-five in 2024, one hundred forty-one in 2025, and thirty-four through mid-September 2026—reflecting recent vehicle wins and high task order velocity on established IDIQs. Fifty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $54.3 million, signaling moderate recompete exposure focused on near-term facility maintenance and infrastructure projects across Navy and other federal installations.

Etolin Strait operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Etolin Strait Development Group LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned parent entity also certified as a minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business. The corporate structure positions the subsidiary for recurring 8(a) work while maintaining the parent's broader SBA certifications and ownership framing.

The contractor's award footprint is concentrated in commercial and institutional building construction (233 awards) and water/sewer line construction (19 awards), with PSC concentration in miscellaneous building construction (101 awards), repair and alteration of office buildings (48 awards), and administrative facilities construction and repair. Work locations span military installations in Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, and Georgia, with particular density at Naval Station Dahlgren, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Naval Facilities Engineering Command sites, Marine Corps installations, the FBI Academy in Quantico, and Hampton Roads naval shipyard facilities. All awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders or IDIQs issued under federal contract vehicles, with no sub-award activity or grant participation evident in the recent portfolio.
