Jade Creek Construction LLC

Jade Creek Construction LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation and SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a prime federal contractor delivering construction, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure services across defense and civilian agencies. The company is a subsidiary of Akima LLC, also an Alaska Native Corporation with similar SBA designations. Jade Creek competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and total small business reservations, with set-aside designations appearing on approximately 40% of recent awards; the remainder compete in full-and-open and no-set-aside task orders drawn from larger IDV vehicles.

Jade Creek's federal footprint centers on military facility construction, renovation, HVAC and mechanical systems replacement, fire protection and life safety upgrades, electrical infrastructure work, and roofing projects. Recent representative work includes a $10.73 million design-bid-build contract with the National Park Service for Jones Mill Dam repair in Williamsburg, Virginia (awarded May 2025, completion December 2026); a $7.6 million Naval Air Warfare Center delivery order for HVAC and fire protection work at Patuxent River, Maryland (awarded September 2025, completion March 2027); a $12 million Air Force Space Command definitive contract for Dormitory 14 renovation at Ascension Auxiliary Airfield in the South Atlantic Ocean (awarded August 2024, completion May 2026); and a $23.94 million GSA delivery order for Building Management Systems replacement at a Clarksburg, West Virginia federal facility (awarded September 2023, completion March 2026). The company also delivers smaller task orders for HVAC maintenance, chiller rentals, epoxy flooring, boiler replacement, and structural repairs at Aberdeen Proving Ground and similar installations.

Customer concentration is steep and defense-heavy. The top five agencies account for 80% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region leads by award count (54 awards, $184.8 million), followed by the Naval Air Warfare Center (39 awards, $140.6 million) and the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District (28 awards, $554.4 million). However, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center anchors most of the dollar value: three awards carrying $15.01 billion combined potential value, overwhelmingly driven by the $15 billion Comprehensive Construction and Engineering (C2E) multiple-award MATOC awarded July 2025 with completion through July 2035. The FBI Headquarters Division rounds out the top five with nine awards worth $117.6 million.

Jade Creek holds five major IDV positions. The largest is the $15 billion Air Force C2E contract for nationwide design, construction, and engineering services on facilities sustainment and modernization (total small business set-aside, base plus four option years through July 2035). The Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District awarded a $499 million multiple-award IDC for design-build and design-bid-build services in the North Atlantic Division (no set-aside, completion September 2028); Naval Sea Systems Command awarded an $88 million multiple-award IDC for construction and facilities services (total small business set-aside, completion October 2028); the Naval Air Warfare Center holds a $49 million 8(a) sole-source SATOC for construction and facility upgrades at Patuxent River (ordering period ended September 2025); the FBI awarded an $18 million multiple-award GMACC contract for general construction and renovation across three geographic regions including Washington, D.C., Quantico, and other sites (total small business set-aside, base plus four option years through September 2031). Jade Creek also holds a $25 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for construction at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Task order velocity remains moderate — 33 task orders under the Army Corps IDC, 26 under the Naval Sea Systems Command vehicle, 20 under a second Army Corps contract, and 8 under an Air Force vehicle dominate the current pipeline.

Award activity has contracted sharply in the past two years. The company averaged 20 awards per year from 2022–2023 (21 and 19 respectively) but dropped to 6 in 2024, recovered to 11 in 2025, and stands at 3 year-to-date in 2026. Nine awards with combined potential value $63.6 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure across Army and Navy platforms. SCI-reported invoicing grew from $395 thousand in FY2022 to $20.8 million in FY2024, driven by roughly 9.3 FTEs delivering federal service-contract work; hourly rates on those contracts ran from a 10th percentile of $94.36/hr to a median of $326.81/hr and a 90th percentile of $534.15/hr, reflecting a mix of labor grades from craft trades through senior management. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 39% of total hours on average, with 41 named subs identified in the source period — a signal that Jade Creek typically builds delivery using both organic staff and subcontractor augmentation rather than operating as a pure pass-through. The combined potential value across all 172 prime awards in the source stands at $16.26 billion, though only $321.5 million (2% of potential) has been obligated to date, reflecting the high ceiling-to-obligation spread typical of multi-year IDV vehicles.
