Rima Construction LLC

Rima Construction LLC, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Beltsville, Maryland, provides construction, repair, and maintenance services to federal facilities as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under BPA calls and purchase orders with no subcontract footprint. The company is structured as a limited liability corporation and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-aside categories, though several awards carry Total Small Business designations.

Rima's capability portfolio centers on facility infrastructure work: lab renovations, mechanical and electrical system repairs and upgrades, utility infrastructure improvements including sanitary and steam piping, HVAC replacement, restroom and office refreshes, flood restoration, boiler replacement, and deferred facility operations and maintenance. Representative recent work includes a $26,191 BPA call from the National Institutes of Health in May 2026 for steam line relocation and Hobart seal replacement at NIH Bethesda; a $62,342 call for sanitary piping repair in Building 10 at NIH; a $184,200 call for roll-up door repairs and preventive maintenance at the NIH Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick; and a $199,238 call for design and construction to replace sanitary pipe infrastructure in Building 31B at NIH Bethesda.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Institutes of Health Construction division accounts for 65 awards (93% of the 140 awards in the source) with a combined potential value of $32.5 million (96% of the $34 million portfolio). The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery places 39 awards with $498 thousand combined potential value, followed by the Army Corps of Engineers (Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity) with 3 awards and $445 thousand, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command with 14 awards and $185 thousand. The vendor serves twelve distinct customer agencies but operates almost exclusively through NIH.

Rima holds two primary BPA vehicles: a single-award master BPA with NIH Construction awarded April 27, 2022, with an April 25, 2029 completion date and $0 stated ceiling (the source notes approximately $300,000 in task orders issued through 2026); and a new multiple-award small business set-aside BPA with NIH Construction awarded July 1, 2026, with a $30 million ceiling and June 30, 2031 completion date. The top two vehicles in the source (BPA 75N99022A00006 and BPA 75N99020A00002, both Navy) carry 29 and 10 task orders respectively with combined potential values of $1.4 million and $482 thousand. Place of performance spans the NIH Bethesda campus and subordinate facilities including Fort Detrick.

Activity has been uneven. The vendor received 14 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 through the source date of mid-July. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $203 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) with 132 awards; PSC codes reflect hospital and miscellaneous building construction and repair, concentrated in construction of hospitals and infirmaries (24 awards) and repair or alteration of hospitals and infirmaries (21 awards).

Rima operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract engagements in the source data. Obligated dollars total $3.9 million against a combined potential value of $34 million, indicating a 11% obligation rate typical of indefinite-delivery vehicles with extended performance windows. The vendor's recent alignment with the new $30 million NIH small business set-aside BPA signals institutional entrenchment in the NIH Construction procurement ecosystem, where it has accumulated approximately $300,000 in task orders since 2022 across lab renovations, mechanical upgrades, utility system work, and facility restoration.
