North Wind General Contractors LLC

North Wind General Contractors LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business and SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, is a prime contractor delivering environmental remediation, hazardous materials response, construction, and infrastructure maintenance services across federal agencies, with 100 percent of recent awards as prime work (173 awards, $15.29 billion combined potential value) and dominant concentration in 8(a) competitive and sole-source set-asides.

North Wind operates as a subsidiary of Ciri Development Corporation, an Alaskan Native Corporation, and competes predominantly under 8(a) set-aside categories—a characteristic posture across the prime footprint. The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on environmental response work: illegal dump site remediation, hazardous fuel removal, asbestos testing and stabilization, oil spill response, contaminated soil cleanup, and emergency environmental remediation across 14 western states. Construction capabilities span facility repair, HVAC and plumbing systems, building additions, painting and striping, levee rehabilitation, and infrastructure maintenance at military installations and federal lands. Representative examples include a $5.48 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy for the Formosa Mine Superfund Site removal and remediation (awarded September 2025), an $11.8 million Competitive 8(a) definitive contract from Air Combat Command for construction addition and repair of Building 47 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (awarded October 2025), and a $14.1 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the U.S. Coast Guard for maintenance, repair, and abatement of USCG housing in Petersburg, Alaska (awarded May 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of Interior components and the Air Force. The Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region alone accounts for 65 awards worth $3.9 million combined potential value—37.6 percent of the award count in the top-customer segment. Air Combat Command represents the highest-dollar concentration among top customers, with 18 awards totaling $50.3 million potential value, driven by a $3.68 million HVAC and plumbing repair contract and a $3.57 million design-build hangar door repair contract at Nellis AFB. However, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center anchors the potential-value rankings: a single $15 billion Comprehensive Construction & Engineering (C2E) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) issued July 2025 dominates the combined potential value, representing nearly 98 percent of the vendor's total reported ceiling. This disparity between award count and dollar concentration reflects North Wind's position on a government-wide construction vehicle where ordering authority is vast but near-term task order activity remains modest. The Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy, Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, and the Bureau of Land Management National Office round out the top-value customers.

North Wind places the majority of its work under five primary Indefinite Delivery vehicles. The single most prolific vehicle is the Bureau of Land Management's Environmental Response and Hazardous Materials IDIQ (contract 140L0623D0008), a $49 million competitive 8(a) single-award contract running through March 2028, which carries 131 task orders totaling $9.1 million combined potential value and represents 70 percent of the vendor's total federal award volume as stated in award narratives. Task orders under this vehicle span all BLM regional offices and address rapid-response cleanup, illegal dump remediation, asbestos removal, and hazardous fuel management. The Air Force Civil Engineer Center's C2E MATOC ($15 billion, multiple award, Total Small Business set-aside, July 2025 through July 2035) has generated 7 task orders to date worth $2.7 million, focusing on construction and engineering services. North Wind also holds a $25 million single-award general construction IDIQ with Air Combat Command (May 2024 through May 2032), a $45 million Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants infrastructure maintenance MATOC with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska (competitive 8(a), June 2023 through June 2028), and newer vehicles including a $5.5 million 8(a) sole-source Department of Energy construction IDIQ (March 2026 through March 2031) and a $5.02 million Total Small Business Army Corps single-award levee rehabilitation contract (September 2025 through September 2028). The tiered vehicle portfolio allows North Wind to access ordering authority across defense, energy, interior, and homeland security sectors.

Activity has grown from four awards in 2022 to a peak of 48 in both 2023 and 2024, with 42 awards in 2025 and 31 year-to-date in 2026 as of late September. This trajectory reflects North Wind's establishment on multiple major IDIQs and increasing utilization across federal customer organizations. The recompete cliff signals material risk: 37 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $87.1 million, concentrated in the BLM Environmental Response IDIQ (set to expire March 2028, with multiple task orders completing through early 2027) and smaller delivery orders across BLM regions nearing closeout.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows North Wind self-performs the majority of its service-contract work as a prime. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $25.2 million across FY2022–FY2025, with peak activity in FY2023 ($13.6 million across 16.0 FTEs) followed by moderation in FY2024 ($1.7 million, 2.6 FTEs) and recovery in FY2025 ($9.9 million, 6.6 FTEs). The vendor's fte trajectory shows volatility; neither the SCI dollars nor the FTE counts should be treated as the company's total federal revenue or workforce, as SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods, construction, and non-federal work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable primes range from zero dollars (minimum guarantee orders that do not trigger hours) to a 90th percentile of $740.09 per hour, with a median of $301.10 per hour—positioning North Wind in the mid-range for federal service-delivery labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 15 percent of contractor hours on average, indicating North Wind builds its own delivery teams but engages specialized subs on select engagements. Named subcontractors across the SCI dataset total nine entities, though specific names are not enumerated in the source's aggregate reporting.

North Wind competes entirely as a prime contractor in its current footprint—zero sub-award records appear in the source data. The vendor's 8(a) posture is characteristic: of the 173 awards, approximately 70 percent carry explicit 8(a) sole-source or competitive 8(a) set-aside designations, with the remainder issued under full-and-open or Total Small Business set-aside vehicles. This heavy reliance on 8(a) set-asides both anchors North Wind's competitive advantage and constrains its pursuit to agencies prioritizing small disadvantaged business sourcing. The company holds no reported teaming relationships as a subcontractor to larger primes and does not appear in the sub-award footprint, indicating it operates in isolation rather than as a feeder to prime contractors or consortia.

NAICS concentration reflects the environmental and construction focus: 135 of 173 awards fall under NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), with commercial and institutional building construction (19 awards) and heavy civil engineering construction (11 awards) representing secondary capabilities. PSC coding confirms this: 129 awards carry PSC code for Other Environmental Services, with smaller clusters under real property restoration, dam repair, and office building work. The profile is tightly specialized—North Wind is not a generalist contractor but a focused environmental remediation and construction vendor for federal land managers, the Air Force, and the Department of Energy.
