North Star Construction & Engineering Inc.

North Star Construction & Engineering Inc., doing business as North Star Construction, is a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Yuba City, California, that delivers construction, maintenance, repair, and specialized infrastructure work as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across federal civilian and defense agencies. The company is Subcontinent Asian American-owned and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on delivery orders issued against its own indefinite delivery vehicles and agency-sponsored IDIQs.

North Star's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC), which anchors 64 awards and $871.1 million of the vendor's $2.1 billion combined potential value — representing 42% of all awards and 41% of dollars across its 20 distinct customer agencies. When ranked by potential value, two IDVs inflate the dollar share dramatically: a $500 million Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service MATOC for design-build construction services across DOI and Forest Service properties nationwide (awarded March 2023, runs through April 2028) and a $500 million GSA multiple-award IDIQ for electric vehicle supply equipment installation in Geographic Zone D (awarded November 2022, runs through October 2026). Together with ACC work, these three customer relationships represent 95% of the combined potential value. The Department of the Air Force Space Command (19 awards, $34.2 million), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (17 awards, $6.6 million), and the U.S. Coast Guard (7 awards, $11.7 million) represent secondary volume but are dwarfed in dollar terms.

North Star holds multiple large parent vehicles. The $500 million General Construction Multiple Award Task Order Contract (GC-MATOC) with Air Combat Command, awarded February 2025 and running through January 2030, is the dominant platform — it serves as the parent for delivery orders involving HVAC replacements, evaporative cooler removals, fire alarm system installations, wastewater treatment plant repairs, electrical panel upgrades, and airfield paving at Beale Air Force Base and other ACC locations. An indefinite delivery contract designated FA468611D0005 carries 20 task orders worth $24.8 million. The Great American Outdoors Act MATOC ($250 million, DOI Fish and Wildlife Service, runs through June 2027) funds task orders for infrastructure rehabilitation across National Parks and wildlife refuges; recent examples include a $4.62 million delivery order issued August 2026 by the National Park Service for Clover Creek wastewater disposal rehabilitation at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, and a $3.08 million delivery order from Fish and Wildlife Service for generator replacement at California Coleman National Fish Hatchery (September 2024, ultimate completion September 2025). North Star also holds the $70 million Transportation and Paving IDIQ with USAF Defense Finance and Accounting Service (runs through June 2029) and two Basic Ordering Agreements with USAF DFAS: a single-award BOA designated MACC BOA (February 2026, runs through February 2031) and a Multiple Award BOA with a $5 million ceiling (August 2025, runs through August 2030).

Recent construction work spans utility infrastructure, facility maintenance, and airfield operations. Delivery orders to Air Combat Command include a $3.43 million primary clarifier repair at Beale wastewater treatment plant (June 2025, completion November 2026), a $1.22 million sodium hypochlorite generation system rehabilitation (July 2025, completion July 2026), a $1.17 million FY25 airfield work order (March 2025, completion October 2025), a $733,774 parking lot sealing and striping project (September 2025, completion June 2026), and multiple HVAC, electrical, and fire safety system upgrades at individual buildings. A $1.69 million definitive contract with Air Mobility Command at Travis Air Force Base for ramp and taxiway restriping was awarded February 2025 (completion August 2025). Scope of work clusters around utility system repairs, building systems upgrades, and paving operations — commercial and institutional building construction (45 awards), highway/street/bridge construction (35 awards), and residential remodeling (21 awards) dominate the NAICS footprint.

North Star has grown award activity sharply — one award in 2022, two in 2023, six in 2024, and thirteen in 2025, with five awards so far in 2026. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months involves five awards with combined potential value of $9.4 million, representing modest recompete risk. The Service Contract Inventory reports only $3.1 million in invoiced revenue across FY2024–FY2025 on a single prime contract (the DOI Fish and Wildlife Service generator replacement project), with SCI-captured activity showing 0.5 FTEs in FY2025 and government-paid rates of $2,779.47 per hour; SCI is a narrow slice of North Star's service contract activity and does not capture the full scope of its construction delivery work. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 34% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors reported; on the generator replacement project specifically, two subcontractors handled 68% of contracted hours. North Star operates as a subcontractor on a single named prime — Gilbane Federal — performing aircraft hangar construction work at Beale Air Force Base (award date May 2023). The corporate structure lists North Star Construction And Engineering Inc. as a Subchapter S Corporation subsidiary under the parent entity, both with identical SBA designations.

North Star celebrates 25 years in the heavy civil construction industry. Under the SBA 8(a)program North Star has grown from specializing in horizontal construction to include vertical and design-build construction.
