Meneses & Mcfadden, Cartor, Vitor Hugo Carvalho, LDA

Meneses & Mcfadden, Cartor, Vitor Hugo Carvalho, LDA, a Portugal-based for-profit partnership headquartered in Praia da Vitória, performs construction, maintenance, and repair services as a prime contractor at U.S. military installations in Portugal and the Azores, competing exclusively in open federal procurement without set-aside designations. The vendor has accumulated 101 prime awards totaling $127.1 million in combined potential value over the past several years, with 37% obligated to date.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on facility infrastructure work: building renovation and alterations, airfield maintenance including taxiway and runway repairs, electrical systems (medium voltage distribution, lighting control and power systems, feeder relocation), HVAC repair and replacement, fire suppression and fire training infrastructure, utility system work (water wells, sewer lift stations, distribution systems), and roofing and demolition services. Representative work includes a $3.075 million delivery order for consolidation of security forces facilities into Building T-810, a $2.227 million fire training area gates and fences repair project, a $1.947 million conversion of a hazardous waste facility to maintenance space, a $1.791 million repair and upgrade of lightning system infrastructure at an airfield, and a $1.569 million taxiway repair contract — all at U.S. Air Force installations in Portugal.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe and Africa accounts for 91 of 101 awards (90% of the count) and $123.9 million of $127.1 million in combined potential value (97% of dollars). The Defense Commissary Agency holds the second position with 7 awards valued at $2.5 million, all for maintenance and repair services at the Lajes Field commissary. The Air Force Materiel Command, the Air Force, and the Defense Logistics Agency account for the remaining three awards totaling roughly $753 thousand.

The vendor holds four active indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring task-order activity. A $25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA448624D0001) awarded July 31, 2024, through July 30, 2029, provides for non-complex minor construction, maintenance, and repair services at USAFE-AFAFRA installations in Portugal and the Azores and has issued 17 task orders valued at $10.7 million to date. An older $14.99 million single-award IDC (FA448621D0001) generated 29 task orders worth $14.9 million. A $9.99 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (FA448620G0002) for maintenance and repair construction projects at Lajes Field in the Azores has supported 18 task orders totaling $8.2 million. A $1.075 million single-award IDC (HQC01025D0003) awarded by the Defense Commissary Agency on March 27, 2025, covers maintenance and repair at the Lajes Field commissary through March 31, 2028, with 4 task orders issued at $451 thousand combined value. A fifth vehicle, a $250 thousand single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for contingency housekeeping services Air Force-wide, remains largely unutilized.

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year — 15 awards in 2022 to 20 in 2024, with 17 in 2025 and 5 in the first quarter of 2026. However, seven awards (combined potential value $7.7 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for those task orders. The vendor performs directly as prime contractor on all work with no subcontractor relationships identified in the source data, and all awards have been competitively procured under full and open procedures without set-asides. Place of performance for all work is Portugal or the Azores, with no domestic U.S. presence indicated.
