Martin Brothers Construction

Martin Brothers Construction, doing business as Martin Bros Construction, is a Sacramento-based minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned Subchapter S corporation that delivers road, bridge, airfield, and heavy civil infrastructure construction and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The company holds three active indefinite delivery vehicles totaling $370 million in capacity and maintains a recent federal contract footprint of $11.13 billion in combined potential value across 133 awards since 2009, with $367 million currently obligated.

Martin Brothers Construction's capability portfolio centers on full-depth roadway reclamation, asphalt and concrete paving, airfield construction and repair, drainage systems, and emergency post-disaster infrastructure recovery. Representative prime work includes a $28.9 million design-bid-build contract with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center to repair and replace approximately 29,000 square yards of concrete pavements and drainage at Travis Air Force Base (awarded September 2025, completion February 2027); a $21.9 million Federal Highway Administration contract for rehabilitation of 17.62 miles of Ice House Road in El Dorado County, California (awarded December 2023, completion September 2025); a $23.6 million National Park Service contract to rehabilitate the Tuolumne Meadows Campground in Yosemite National Park (awarded September 2021, completion October 2025); and a $5.25 million Army Corps of Engineers contract for pavement repair at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (awarded September 2024, completion November 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and transportation infrastructure agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 65% of awards: Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (33 awards, $97.1 million combined potential value), Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Sacramento (27 awards, $124.4 million combined potential value), Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region (11 awards, $102.3 million combined potential value), United States Marine Corps (9 awards, $11 million combined potential value), and Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (7 awards, $322.1 million combined potential value). The dollar-value ranking diverges significantly — Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth anchors 97% of combined potential value through six awards worth $10.06 billion in aggregate, indicating a major multi-award vehicle that dwarfs the operational award activity captured in the count-based ranking.

Martin Brothers Construction holds seat on three principal IDVs. The Expedited California Road & Bridge Construction Multiple Award Task Order Contract with the Federal Highway Administration was awarded January 2026 with a $250 million ceiling and 5-year performance window (through January 2031); this is a total small business set-aside multiple-award vehicle. The Beale Air Force Base Airfield and General Paving indefinite delivery contract (Air Combat Command) carries a $70 million ceiling with a 9-year maximum performance period and has generated four task orders valued at $3.8 million in combined potential value. The California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance (FERM) Blanket Purchase Agreement with Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region is a $50 million single-award BPA running through March 2033 and supports emergency and planned road infrastructure work across 19 California national forests and grasslands. Beyond these three, the vendor places task orders under legacy Air Force IDCs and Army Corps of Engineers contracts, with the IDC FA468612D0043 generating 26 task orders valued at $6.9 million.

Activity has contracted sharply from peak volumes — 2023 recorded 17 awards, but 2024 fell to 5, and 2025–2026 combined show only 5 awards year-to-date. Only three awards in the next twenty-four months are set to complete with a combined potential value of $36.7 million, signaling modest near-term recompete exposure compared to the vendor's total footprint. The recent slowdown reflects typical federal award lifecycle volatility rather than a structural competitive loss, given the vendor's newly awarded $250 million FHWA vehicle in January 2026.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue for federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $52.2 million across FY2022–FY2024: $8.8 million in FY2022 (5.5 FTEs), $9 million in FY2023 (11.9 FTEs), and $34.4 million in FY2024 (29.5 FTEs). This is a strict subset of federal contract revenue and does not include goods, products, or classified work. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from $283.43 per hour (10th percentile) to $1,198.27 per hour (90th percentile), with a median of $732.81 per hour, reflecting a mix of labor classifications from equipment operators to project management. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 7% of total contractor hours, with four named subcontractors reported; Martin Brothers Construction primarily self-performs delivery work.

In its subcontractor role, Martin Brothers Construction delivers site grading, aggregate base placement, asphalt paving, and related earthwork under Nova Group, Inc. as prime on Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center projects in Bridgeport, California (multiple task orders for aircraft refueling facility demolition, earthwork, paving, and jet fuel storage tank hot-mix asphalt paving between December 2022 and February 2026). This subcontract footprint is minimal relative to the vendor's prime business.

Martin Brothers Construction competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its prime awards, with occasional full-and-open awards where technical capability and past performance overcome the lack of set-aside protection. The vendor's geographic focus is concentrated in California and the western United States, anchored by regional relationships with Forest Service, Air Force installations, Army Corps of Engineers districts, National Park Service, and FHWA regional offices.

Martin Brothers Construction is a general eng. contractor with an EMR of .73 and $40M bonding capacity that self-performs road, bridge, airfield, flood control, underground utility, site development and recreational/sports facility construction projects.
