Fred L Hawkins Co Inc.

Fred L Hawkins Co Inc., a Havre de Grace, Maryland-based subchapter S corporation, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering specialized facility maintenance, infrastructure support, and stevedore services to the Department of the Army at Aberdeen Proving Ground and other military test installations. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides and full-and-open designations across a portfolio anchored to military facility operations rather than IT or professional services.

The company's capability footprint centers on range maintenance support services, HVAC repair and maintenance, stevedore operations (cargo handling and material movement for testing programs), concrete pad construction, building demolition, excavation, and facility infrastructure work. Representative prime work includes a $411,530 small-business set-aside delivery order awarded February 27, 2026, by Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) for stevedore support services on the Full Scale Section 8 Lengthened (FSS-8L) and Submersible Shock Test Vehicle (SSTV) programs at Aberdeen, a $289,687.50 full-and-open delivery order from March 31, 2023, for HVAC repair and range maintenance support, and a $124,970 delivery order from September 30, 2024, for concrete pad installation. The vendor also holds a $10 million small-business set-aside indefinite delivery contract with ATEC (effective April 14, 2025, through April 13, 2030) for Aberdeen Test Center Range Maintenance Support Services, which authorizes facility maintenance, construction, excavation, painting, electrical and plumbing work, fire suppression, and environmental services across the test ranges.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. ATEC accounts for 93 awards (all $58.9 million in combined potential value) and dominates the portfolio; the broader Department of the Army totals 142 awards. The remaining six customer agencies — Navy, Army Materiel Command subdivisions, and Army Training and Doctrine Command — represent marginal activity. Fred L Hawkins Co Inc. has maintained a SAM registration and continuous engagement with ATEC since 2002, with historical delivery order totals exceeding $1.5 million prior to recent awards.

The vendor places work under five prime indefinite delivery contracts. The largest vehicle, IDC W91ZLK07D0099, carries 65 task orders and $21.5 million in combined potential value; IDC DAAD0593D7052 carries 60 task orders; and IDC DAAD0500D7017 carries 39 task orders and $1 million combined potential value. Activity has declined slightly — from four awards in 2023 to one in 2026 — with only two awards ($521 thousand combined potential value) completing inside the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, Fred L Hawkins Co Inc. delivers facility demolition, construction, and systems work to Stampede Ventures, Inc. (steam system and building maintenance repair) and Electric Boat Corporation (shipboard system modifications). The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects the facility-operations footprint: Remediation Services (70 awards), All Other Support Services (40 awards), and All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (14 awards).
