Etolin Strait Development Group LLC

Etolin Strait Development Group LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business certified as an SBA 8(a) Program participant, operates as a prime contractor providing construction, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure repair services to the Department of the Navy and Marine Corps across the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) sole source set-asides, with 100 percent of its federal award footprint structured as prime contracts across 231 awards carrying $262 million in combined potential value—a narrow but decisive set-aside posture that anchors its federal business model.

Etolin Strait's capability portfolio centers on design-build and design-bid-build construction, electrical and mechanical system repairs, HVAC upgrades, plumbing work, building renovations, mold remediation, water damage restoration, roof repairs, asbestos abatement, generator replacement, and emergency facility repairs at naval installations. Representative work includes a $6.2 million 8(a) sole source definitive contract with Navy Installations Command for child development center renovations at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story (awarded July 2024); a $5.999 million 8(a) sole source definitive contract with Navy Installations Command for re-tubing of Boiler #25 at Naval Station Norfolk (awarded November 2023); a $4.48 million 8(a) sole source definitive contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for Building 198 renovation at the Manufacturing Innovation Center, Joint Base Charleston (awarded September 2025); and a $49.5 million multiple award task order contract with the Air National Guard for maintenance, repair, and construction services at National Guard facilities in South Carolina and North Carolina (awarded July 2025).

Customer concentration is pronounced and Navy-centric. The top five funding agencies account for 79 percent of awards by count and 88 percent of combined potential value. Naval Information Warfare Systems Command leads by potential value ($72.6 million across 22 awards), followed by the Air National Guard ($49.5 million, two awards—the $49.5 million MATOC ceiling dominates the dollars), Navy Installations Command ($45.8 million across 71 awards), Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Wilmington ($31.7 million across six awards), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($29.8 million across 72 awards). The concentration by volume versus dollars reveals a strategic mix: frequent small-to-medium task orders through Navy Installations and NAVFAC IDIQs fund steady operational revenue, while large definitive contracts and the Air National Guard MATOC anchor strategic capacity.

Etolin Strait holds five primary IDIQ vehicles: a $51 million 8(a) sole source single-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (through October 2027) generating 20 task orders worth $21.4 million; a $30 million single-award construction job order contract with the Army Corps of Engineers supporting the Navy (through October 2029); two $4.5 million 8(a) sole source single-award contracts with Navy Installations Command (through May 2030) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (through July 2029) for design-build and design-bid-build work; and a $49.5 million multiple award task order contract with the Air National Guard (through July 2030). The remaining vehicle position sits on four Navy IDIQ vehicles—N4008523D0063, N4008520D8702, N4008521D0088, and N4008520D0108—which collectively support 135 task orders worth $15.2 million. This vehicle portfolio positions Etolin Strait as a standing provider for delivery orders across Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Navy Installations Command, and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command.

Activity has grown year-over-year from 39 awards in 2022 to 60 in 2023, flattened to 48 in 2024, held at 46 in 2025, and currently sits at six awards in early 2026 (a limited snapshot for the first three months). Six awards carrying $12.5 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing moderate recompete exposure across its IDIQ portfolio.

Etolin Strait operates with minimal subcontracting involvement, performing substantially all work as a prime contractor with internal workforce and direct vendor relationships. The company is a subsidiary of Nima Corporation, an Alaskan Native Corporation parent, alongside a sister subsidiary, Etolin Strait Associates LLC. Corporate structure reflects tribal ownership and ANCSA heritage; both subsidiaries share the Alaskan Native Corporation designation. Award documentation references headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and places of performance concentrated at Virginia Beach–area naval installations (Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Air Station Oceana, Dam Neck Annex, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story), with secondary performance nodes in South Carolina (Hanahan, Summerville, Joint Base Charleston), North Carolina (Fort Liberty), and Maryland (Dahlgren). Etolin Strait's geographic reach aligns with Navy and Marine Corps infrastructure footprint in the Atlantic Fleet and National Guard presence in the Carolinas.

The NAICS profile is heavily weighted toward commercial and institutional building construction (225 of 231 awards), with PSC work dominated by repair and alteration of miscellaneous buildings (127 awards) and troop housing facilities (10 awards). Activity data shows average award value of roughly $1.1 million, with definitive contracts anchoring the high end ($6+ million) and delivery orders clustering in the $50,000 to $500,000 band. Etolin Strait's 8(a) status and firm financial commitment to Navy facilities support across multiple installations establish it as a strategic partner to NAVFAC and Navy Installations Command, with demonstrated capacity to execute both emergency repairs and multi-year renovation projects.
