Ocean Construction Services Inc.

Ocean Construction Services Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, delivers waterfront, facility, and infrastructure construction services to the Department of the Navy, the Coast Guard, and the Air Force exclusively as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Ocean Construction is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that operates across commercial and institutional building construction (127 awards), specialty trades (37 awards), and heavy civil engineering construction (12 awards) under primary NAICS 236220 and PSC codes spanning maintenance, repair, alteration of buildings and miscellaneous structures. The company has held federal contracts since 2004 and competes in both set-aside and full-and-open categories, though six of its seven highest-value IDIQs carry total small business designations. Recent representative work includes a $17.8 million design-build delivery order from the Coast Guard for the second phase of the Offshore Patrol Cutter Electronic and Propulsion Control System and Weapons Control Center instruction facility at Training Center Yorktown, Virginia (awarded March 2026, completing March 2028 under NMCS III POOL2), an $11 million firm fixed-price delivery order for Pier 1 upgrades at Coast Guard Yard Curtis Bay, Baltimore (awarded September 2025, completing February 2027 under NMCS III POOL2), and an $11.1 million total small business set-aside delivery order from Air Combat Command to convert Facility 61 at Joint Base Langley-Eustis into a child development center (awarded October 2023, completing September 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and Navy-dominated. The top five customer agencies account for 76 percent of awards by count, but the potential-value ranking is anchored by the Coast Guard ($4.03 billion across five awards), which drives 53 percent of the combined portfolio value. NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command) holds 49 awards worth $2.61 billion combined potential value—the second-largest customer by dollars and the largest by award count at 25 percent of all awards. Navy Installations Command places 59 awards ($50.6 million combined potential value), and Air Combat Command holds 15 awards ($738.6 million combined potential value). The portfolio spans 24 customer agencies, but Navy and Coast Guard facilities collectively represent 99 percent of potential value.

Ocean Construction holds seven active IDIQs totaling over $7.5 billion in potential value. The $4 billion Coast Guard National Multiple Award Construction Contract III Pool 2 (NMCS III POOL2, awarded August 2024, completing August 2034) anchors the portfolio; three task orders have been issued to date, including the $17.8 million Offshore Patrol Cutter facility and the $11 million Pier 1 upgrade. NAVFAC-issued vehicles include the $750 million Washington Area of Responsibility Small Business MACC (awarded July 2024, completing July 2032), the $450 million Hampton Roads Area of Virginia MACC (awarded April 2024, completing April 2026, though it appears to function as a renewal vehicle), the $249 million Waterfront Construction Projects MACC for design-build and design-bid-build waterfront work in Hampton Roads (awarded September 2024, completing September 2029), and the $95 million Hampton Roads utility mechanical construction MACC (awarded May 2023, completing May 2028). Air Combat Command issued a $400 million Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base MACC (awarded May 2025, completing May 2031) set aside for total small business. The top five vehicles by task-order count are older NAVFAC indefinite delivery contracts (N4008505A2512 with 35 task orders, N4008508D1004 with 19, and N4008508D9105 with 16) that together represent only $6.7 million in combined potential value, signaling heavy use of smaller task orders against legacy vehicles.

Activity has been uneven. The vendor received two awards in 2022, six in 2023, eleven in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 (year-to-date). Five awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $32.5 million, exposing a modest recompete cliff relative to the portfolio's scale. The most recent significant award is the March 2026 $17.8 million Coast Guard order. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $11.3 million across FY2022–FY2024, with $11.2 million invoiced in FY2023 on 4.0 FTEs and $65 thousand in FY2024 on 0.0 FTEs (contract-level); this figure is a subset only of Ocean Construction's federal construction contract activity and does not reflect its full federal revenue footprint. The SCI dataset shows median government-paid hourly rates around $1,302/hr on prime service contracts, with senior labor pricing reaching $1,461/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed zero percent of hours through subcontractors, indicating it builds its own delivery workforce rather than outsourcing field labor. Ocean Construction operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no federal subcontract awards in the source data.
