Orion Construction, Inc.

Orion Construction, Inc., a HUBZone-certified, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Wasilla, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor delivering design-build construction, facility maintenance, and infrastructure modernization services to federal defense and civilian agencies across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, with a $1.52 billion combined potential value footprint anchored by two large IDIQ vehicles: a $450 million U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sustainment, Restoration, Modernization contract awarded June 2025 and a $150 million Pacific Air Forces Mini-MACC at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

Orion's customer concentration reflects heavy Alaska military installation focus. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of combined potential value: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center (2 awards, $625 million potential value — likely representing the two large IDIQ vehicles), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska (9 awards, $481.3 million), Pacific Air Forces (32 awards, $266 million), General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 10 (65 awards, $72.8 million), and the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region (26 awards, $51.8 million). By award count, GSA Region 10 leads with 65 task orders, but the two mega-IDIQs with Army Corps of Engineers and Air Force dominate the dollar value. The award count and dollar rankings diverge sharply — GSA issues many small task orders while the Corps of Engineers and Air Force house billion-dollar indefinite vehicles.

Orion competes exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of 208 awards prime) and holds no recorded subcontractor positions in the source data. The vendor's activity trajectory shows growth: 17 awards in 2021, flat at 17 in 2022, dipping to 9 in 2023, then climbing to 32 in 2024 and 25 in 2025. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $2.4 million, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure. Recent representative work includes the $6.32 million Cobra Dane siding and roof repair at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson under the Air Force Mini-MACC (awarded September 2024), the $2.39 million thrift store renovation at Fort Wainwright (April 2024), a $1.996 million dorm demolition project at Elmendorf (January 2025), and $1.538 million construction of a live fire city at Camp Bondsteel (July 2024), all serving Alaska military installations.

Orion's parent vehicle position centers on three core IDIQs: the $450 million Army Corps of Engineers Sustainment, Restoration, Modernization contract (awarded June 2025, five-year base through June 2032); the $150 million Air Force Mini-MACC for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (awarded September 2023, through September 2028); and an earlier $99.9 million Air Force Mini-MACC that terminated January 2022. Secondary vehicles include a $40.9 million Defense Department Pacific Region IDIQ (awarded September 2021, through August 2026) generating 30 task orders worth $22.8 million, and GSA Regional IDIQs supporting the heavy GSA Region 10 order flow. Orion's top parent vehicles by task-order count include a $9 million 35-task-order vehicle (likely the active Air Force Mini-MACC) and the $22.8 million 30-task-order Army Corps vehicle.

SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing totaled $28.6 million across fiscal years 2022–2024 — a strict subset excluding goods, products, and micro-purchases. SCI activity shows FY2022 at $7 million with 3.3 FTEs, FY2023 at $10 million with 8.2 FTEs, and FY2024 at $11.5 million with 10.5 FTEs, reflecting modest workforce growth. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a wide spectrum — median around $512/hr, with junior labor at 10th percentile of $83/hr and senior/specialized labor commanding 90th percentile rates through $2,274/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average 20% of contractor hours, with 24 named subcontractors reported, indicating Orion builds delivery teams with modest sub reliance for specific trade work (mechanical, electrical, flooring, air balancing, drywall, fire protection).

Orion's capability footprint centers on commercial and institutional building construction (181 awards under NAICS 236220), roofing repairs (8 awards), electrical and HVAC trades (4 awards each), and related infrastructure work. Primary Service Classification codes reflect repair or alteration of office buildings (131 awards) and miscellaneous buildings (28 awards), with demolition and environmental work representing smaller shares. The portfolio spans window and door replacement, roof repairs and replacements, mechanical system upgrades, electrical installations and breaker box work, HVAC repairs, facility painting, flooring installation, security system upgrades (PIV readers, alarm panels, intrusion detection), septic and water systems, generator replacement, and structural renovations across military installations and civilian federal buildings. Work is predominantly Alaska-based but includes occasional lower-48 assignments; place of performance spans Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and various federal buildings in Juneau, Anchorage, Ketchikan, Haines, and Skagway.

Orion's set-aside posture shows heavy concentration in total small business and HUBZone designations across the prime footprint, with recurring SDVOSB sole-source and competitive awards reflecting the vendor's three-tier certification. The vendor competes predominantly under set-asides — roughly 60–70% of task orders name total small business, HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-aside language — with full-and-open competition on the remainder. The corporate structure includes a named subsidiary, Orion-Brice LLC, a self-certified HUBZone joint venture, though the source does not detail the scope or activity of this subsidiary relative to the parent.
