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 exclusively (100% of awards), competing predominantly on full-and-open contract vehicles rather than set-aside designations.

Rima's customer concentration is heavily weighted to NIH Construction. The top five customer agencies account for 93% of awards by count, with the National Institutes of Health Construction dominating the portfolio at 69 awards and $32.9 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Navy components—Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (39 awards, $498 thousand), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (14 awards, $185 thousand), and Installations Command (9 awards, $102 thousand)—provide secondary volume with significantly smaller dollar exposure per award. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers National Capitol Region Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity contributes 3 awards worth $445 thousand. This concentration pattern reflects Rima's embedded position as a responsive local contractor for NIH facility infrastructure work across the Bethesda campus and subordinate facilities at Fort Detrick and Poolesville.

Rima's work portfolio centers on laboratory renovations, mechanical and electrical system repairs and upgrades, utility infrastructure improvements including sanitary and steam piping replacement, HVAC work, restroom and office refreshes, flood restoration, exhaust fan repair, pest remediation, and deferred facility operations and maintenance. Recent representative work includes a $199,238 delivery order (April 2022) for design and construction to replace sanitary pipe infrastructure in Building 31B at NIH Bethesda with completion scheduled for February 2026; a $184,200 call (May 2024) for roll-up door repairs and preventive maintenance at the NIH Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick; a $154,876 task order (July 2024) under Total Small Business set-aside for office renovation in Building 1; and a $161,805 call (September 2025) for laboratory renovation in Building 6B Rooms 3B307, 3B305, and 3B305A. The September 2026 activity includes two concurrent NIH calls totaling $262,067 for building renovation (Rooms 10C422 and 10C422B for patient care use, and Rooms 2B231 and 2B231A for laboratory use), both completing in 2027.

Rima holds two master BPAs with NIH Construction. The single-award BPA (awarded April 27, 2022, through April 25, 2029) carries a stated ceiling of $0 with approximately $300,000 in task orders issued through 2026 and serves as the vehicle for ongoing maintenance and repair work. The newer multiple-award small business set-aside BPA (awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031) carries a $30 million ceiling and funds general construction, handyman, repair, and maintenance services at NIH facilities. Rima also works under Navy construction BPAs, including BPA 75N99022A00006 (31 task orders, $1.8 million combined potential value), BPA 75N99020A00002 (10 task orders, $482 thousand), and BPA 75N99026A00010 (2 task orders, $115 thousand). Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary NAICS codes for plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, water and sewer line construction, and drywall contracting. The PSC profile spans Construction of Miscellaneous Buildings, Construction of Hospitals and Infirmaries, and Repair or Alteration of Hospital and Miscellaneous Buildings.

Activity has been episodic rather than consistently high volume—ranging from 14 awards in 2022 to 3 in 2025 to 6 year-to-date in 2026. Five awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $499 thousand, representing limited near-term recompete exposure for Rima itself but indicating that task-order volume on its master BPAs may fluctuate. Rima operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract engagements; the source reports 100 percent prime participation and zero sub-award activity. Performance occurs at the NIH Bethesda campus, the NIH Poolesville Animal Center, the NIH Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick, and Navy medical facilities, with administrative oversight through the respective construction divisions and facilities engineering commands.
