R & W Construction Company

R & W Construction Company, a Jacksonville, North Carolina-based small business prime contractor, provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) construction services and critical infrastructure maintenance to the U.S. Marine Corps and Department of the Navy, with 100% of its federal awards held as prime contracts. The company is registered in SAM.gov since December 2001 and operates under primary NAICS 541512 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), competing predominantly full-and-open on Marine Corps and Navy installations across North Carolina.

R & W Construction's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Navy and Marine Corps commands. The United States Marine Corps accounts for 311 awards with $818.8 million combined potential value—roughly 81% of all awards and 81% of total dollars. The Department of the Navy family of commands (including Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery) adds 231 awards valued at $82.5 million combined potential value. This top-five concentration covers 92% of recent awards. Within Marine Corps work, the majority targets Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, reflecting geographic proximity and sustained facility maintenance demand.

R & W Construction's core capability portfolio spans HVAC system replacement and repair, mechanical infrastructure upgrades, electrical and plumbing installations, building automation systems integration, generator and boiler replacement, fuel farm and water plant infrastructure, and wastewater treatment plant upgrades. Recent representative work includes a $2.17 million delivery order (awarded May 31, 2024) to replace the mechanical system in Building 989 at Camp Lejeune under Naval Facilities Engineering Command, a $3.19 million Competitive Total Small Business delivery order (November 6, 2023) for HVAC repairs at the California Laboratory facility at Camp Lejeune, a $6.85 million delivery order (June 27, 2022) for dry coolers and geothermal field installations at Camp Lejeune, and a $5.44 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade project at Building FC436 (October 25, 2021).

R & W Construction holds a $240 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic for MEP construction services at Marine Corps installations, which anchors most of the company's active delivery order pipeline. The contract vehicle feeds into five major parent IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008520D0078 (58 task orders, $63.1 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008509D5344 (104 task orders, $53 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247002D3358 (80 task orders, $42 million), MCIEAST Mechanical Construction 2014-2019 (47 task orders, $30.8 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008506D4000 (41 task orders, $20.9 million). These vehicles account for the bulk of task order authority and pricing flexibility.

Activity peaked in 2024 with 18 awards, declining to 7 in 2025 and 5 year-to-date in 2026; the company faces eight awards with combined potential value of $14.1 million reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. R & W Construction routinely subcontracts to specialized firms including Latham Electrical Co for electrical distribution, interior lighting, and telecommunications systems; Triangle Automated Controls Inc. (TAC) for Building Automation Network (BACnet) direct digital control systems and HVAC controls integration; T.A.
