R.a. Burch Construction Co., Inc.

R.A. Burch Construction Co., Inc., doing business as RA Burch Construction Co Inc., is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Ramona, California, that delivers military construction, renovation, and repair services to the Department of the Navy and related defense agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive awards with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates across 187 federal prime awards worth $11.94 billion in combined potential value, with $1.41 billion obligated to date, and competes entirely without small business set-asides despite holding several task orders designated as Total Small Business awards under parent IDIQs.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on design-build and design-bid-build construction for military installations, encompassing new facility construction, comprehensive renovation and modernization of existing barracks, training facilities, ammunition storage bunkers, child development centers, and specialized infrastructure such as combat training tanks and aerial port warehouses. Representative work includes a $29.92 million firm fixed-price delivery order (awarded December 2025, completion February 2028) to repair and replace Building 169 (Combat Training Tank) and Building 164 at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, San Diego; a $37.825 million definitive contract (awarded September 2025) for a 60,000 square foot Training Support Center at Fort Irwin supporting the National Training Center, encompassing vehicle modification shops, cyber security measures, and climate-controlled vehicle storage; and an $86.5 million delivery order (awarded August 2023) for the P-924 Range Simulation Training & Operations Facility at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms. The vendor typically engages subcontractors for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, structural steel, roofing, fire protection, and specialized design services; recent primes include Hudson P. Davis Inc. (plumbing and HVAC), Bergelectric Corp (electrical and fire alarm systems), Precision Concrete Construction Inc., RGM Design Group Inc. (structural and antiterrorism design), and Empire Contract Glazing Inc.

Customer concentration sits overwhelmingly with Naval Facilities Engineering Command, which accounts for 51 awards carrying $11.44 billion in combined potential value—representing 96% of the vendor's total potential-value footprint. The broader Department of the Navy (including Navy Installations Command and direct Navy awards) anchors 158 awards worth $12.55 billion combined. Five customer agencies account for 87% of award count: Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads, followed by direct Department of the Navy awards (95 awards, $83.9 million), Navy Installations Command (8 awards, $112.6 million), U.S. Marine Corps (4 awards, $42.1 million), and Air Mobility Command (4 awards, $82.5 million). The vendor also holds delivery orders from the Army Corps of Engineers (ENDIST Los Angeles) for Fort Irwin training facilities.

The vendor holds positions on multiple Navy IDIQs and parent vehicles. The Commercial and Institutional MACC V, a $3 billion Navy-NAVFAC IDIQ awarded June 2024 with ultimate completion June 2026, has generated three delivery orders totaling approximately $59.2 million, including the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado and Camp Pendleton barracks repairs noted above. A single-award Secure Spaces MACC Group 109 contract valued at $249 million (awarded December 2023, completion December 2026) has yielded a $15.3 million delivery order for Building 3291 modernization in San Diego (completion July 2027). Additional vehicles include IDIQs designated N6871102D8065 (8 task orders, $30 million), N6871103D7056 (8 task orders, $37.9 million), and N6247308D8607 (6 task orders, $72.4 million). The Construction, Renovation, And Repair Of Commercial And Institutional Building Projects 2020-2025 IDIQ has generated 7 task orders carrying $257.1 million combined potential value.

Activity remained sparse through 2022 (one award per year) before accelerating to nine awards in 2023, then declining to three in 2024 and six in 2025—a pattern reflecting task-order volatility against large-ceiling IDIQs rather than sustained growth. Ten awards with combined potential value of $337.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on significant programs. The vendor's award history extends to 1985, reflecting established presence in Navy military construction, with NAICS category 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) dominating 73 of 187 awards.
