Patricia I. Romero, Inc.

Patricia I. Romero, Inc., doing business as Pacific West Builders, is a woman-owned small business based in National City, California, that delivers military construction, renovation, and facility repair services to Department of Defense agencies and NASA as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The firm holds SBA certifications as a Women-Owned Small Business, HUBZone firm, and Small Disadvantaged Business, positioning it to compete under set-aside vehicles that dominate its prime footprint — recent awards split between Total Small Business, Partial Small Business, HUBZone, and full-and-open designations. Pacific West Builders operates as a Subchapter S Corporation with no subcontractor footprint; all work is performed directly by the firm.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with the Department of the Navy, which accounts for 96% of combined potential value across the vendor's active portfolio. The top five customer agencies by potential value are the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($2.54 billion across 61 awards), NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center ($459.2 million across 3 awards), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles ($110.1 million across 3 awards), the United States Marine Corps ($49.1 million across 22 awards), and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center ($32.6 million across 7 awards). By award count, the same Navy NAVFAC dominates the portfolio (61 awards), followed by the Navy (36 awards) and the Marine Corps (22 awards, plus an additional 7 from the Air Ground Combat Center), together representing 71% of all recent awards.

Pacific West Builders holds three active IDIQs awarded in 2026. The largest is a $450 million partial small business multiple-award contract from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (June 8, 2026, running through June 8, 2031) for Western Regional Multiple Award Construction work across the southwestern United States. ENDIST Los Angeles awarded a $99 million total small business set-aside design-build IDIQ (June 25, 2026, running through June 24, 2031) for military construction, renovation, and repair work at Defense installations across the southwestern region. USAF Defense Finance and Accounting Service awarded a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (January 16, 2026, running through January 15, 2031) with a zero ceiling that serves as a foundational vehicle for future task orders. The San Diego Metro Area Construction, Renovation, and Repair MACC, a $99.999 billion multiple-award contract managed by NAVFAC (running through June 8, 2031), remains a major source of delivery orders; Pacific West Builders has received 24 task orders totaling $47 million in potential value under this vehicle. Historical vehicles include the NAVFAC Southwest Small Business General Building Construction contract (30 task orders, $67.9 million) and the NAVFAC Southwest 8(a) Construction contract (9 task orders, $12.7 million), both closed-period vehicles.

Recent capability work spans facility renovation, mechanical system upgrades, and specialized construction at Navy and Air Force installations. Representative recent awards include a $9.24 million total small business set-aside delivery order from Armstrong Flight Research Center (September 28, 2026) for roofing revitalization at Edwards Air Force Base, California; a $3.5 million partial small business delivery order from NASA Ames Research Center (September 25, 2026) for HVAC system upgrades at Moffett Federal Airfield, Mountain View, California; a $3.64 million total small business delivery order from NAVFAC (September 16, 2025) for Naval Base San Diego Building 116 conversion; and a $3.74 million total small business delivery order from NAVFAC (November 22, 2024) for repair, refurbishment, and replacement of expansion joints in San Diego. The vendor's award portfolio spans commercial and institutional building construction (149 awards), specialty trade contracting (12 awards), and industrial building construction (7 awards), with PSC concentration in construction and repair of administrative facilities and miscellaneous buildings.

Activity has remained flat at 5–8 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with a combined potential value of $3.31 billion across 201 total awards and combined obligated dollars of $330.2 million (10% of potential value). Only 5 awards with combined potential value of $19.6 million face ultimate completion within the next 24 months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor operates across 23 distinct federal customer agencies, with place of performance concentrated at military installations across California and the southwestern United States, including Naval bases, Marine Corps facilities, and Air Force stations.
