Lira EC JV LLC

Lira EC JV LLC, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned 8(a) joint venture based in Tucson, Arizona, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering design-build and bid-build construction services, electrical and mechanical system renovations, HVAC replacements, and facility modernization to the U.S. Air Force.

Lira EC JV LLC competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides. The vendor holds an SBA 8(a) certification and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business; all work in the source footprint is reserved for small business categories, with specific awards marked either Competitive 8(a), 8(a) Sole Source, or Total Small Business. The vendor's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of the Air Force, with Air Combat Command accounting for eight awards and $365.2 million of the $365.6 million combined potential value across the portfolio — effectively 100% of identifiable dollars. The vendor also holds small awards from Air Force DFAS ($397 thousand) and the general Air Force organization ($53 thousand).

Lira EC JV LLC's primary vehicle is the Davis-Monthan AFB Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC), a competitive 8(a) IDIQ with a $350 million ceiling running through September 9, 2029. The vendor was awarded this IDIQ on September 10, 2024, one of multiple awardees under the vehicle. Under the MACC, Lira EC JV LLC has received seven task orders totaling $11.5 million in combined potential value as of the most recent award in April 2026. Representative delivery orders include a $2.98 million renovation of electrical, HVAC, and dust collection systems in two AMARG buildings (May 23, 2025, completion June 13, 2026); a $2.35 million design-build order (August 18, 2025, completion February 4, 2027); and a $2.99 million design-build delivery order (April 7, 2025, completion June 1, 2026). Outside the MACC, Lira EC JV LLC holds a definitive contract for design and repair of Building 5254 at Davis-Monthan in preparation for corrosion control blast booth installation, valued at $4.04 million with completion May 31, 2026, and an 8(a) sole-source purchase order for $53.3 thousand to renovate a facility room in Colorado Springs (September 30, 2024, completion June 13, 2026).

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to five in 2025; the vendor recorded one award in 2026 to date. Two awards with combined potential value of $3.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The vendor's work is categorized under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220, $45 million small business size standard) with task orders distributed across repair or alteration of miscellaneous buildings, office buildings, and installation of refrigeration and electrical equipment. The vendor operates at Davis-Monthan AFB and Luke AFB, both in Arizona, with one project executed at an Air Force installation in Colorado Springs.
