SAF Inc.

SAF Inc., a minority-owned, HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business and Black American–owned Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Akron, Ohio, delivers civil engineering, construction, renovation, and facilities maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 390 awards spanning $1.02 billion in combined potential value. The company operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing predominantly through total small business and HUBZone set-asides.

SAF Inc.'s customer concentration centers on military and defense infrastructure, led by the Department of Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (45 awards, $302.5 million combined potential value) and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (78 awards, $236.6 million combined potential value), together accounting for 31% of the award count and 54% of combined potential dollars across all customers. The Army Corps of Engineers and Army Materiel Command account for an additional $249.8 million combined. The top five customers cover 61% of awards and 77% of combined potential value, indicating concentrated customer exposure to Army and Coast Guard facility modernization priorities.

Capability work spans facilities renovation, building repair, roofing replacement, HVAC and plumbing systems, dredging operations, fire suppression system design-build, environmental remediation (including AFFF contamination drainage and lead paint encapsulation), and concrete infrastructure. Representative prime work includes a $10.6 million Army Corps of Engineers definitive contract (April 2026) for comprehensive hydraulic system upgrades and building construction at Braddock Locks and Dam in Pennsylvania; a $2.92 million Coast Guard design-build delivery order (November 2024) for hangar fire suppression systems at Traverse City, Michigan; a $2.49 million Coast Guard maintenance dredging delivery order (April 2024) at Port Huron, Michigan; and a $2.16 million Army renovation delivery order (August 2021) for the Gertsch Physical Fitness Center at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Recent activity includes a $1.9 million Coast Guard delivery order (July 2026) for oil-water separator replacement at Air Station Detroit under the Department of Government Efficiency initiative.

SAF Inc. holds two significant parent-vehicle positions: a $55 million total small business set-aside multiple-award IDIQ with Coast Guard District 9 Regional Maintenance and Logistics Command Center (awarded September 2024, running through September 2028) and a $45 million HUBZone set-aside contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (awarded March 2021). The Coast Guard RMACC IDIQ has generated 23 task orders valued at $9.6 million; the older Army Corps vehicle supports ongoing work across Great Lakes infrastructure assets. Earlier-generation vehicles including the Coast Guard RMACC 2019 contract (predecessor, now expiring) and a $55.2 million Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command MATOC continue to generate task orders, with 43 task orders totaling $26.7 million under Army Corps Indefinite Delivery Contract W9124818D0008 and 39 task orders worth $11.3 million under Youngstown ARS SABER Construction IDIQ.

Activity has declined from thirteen awards in 2022 to six in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting both portfolio maturity and potential recompete dynamics. Four awards totaling $13.6 million in combined potential value reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk for Coast Guard and Army facility contracts. Service Contract Inventory data shows modest federal service-contract activity: $4.9 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $196 thousand, FY2023: $2.3 million, FY2024: $2.4 million) with roughly 3.4 FTEs delivered annually in FY2023–FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from $154/hr at the 10th percentile to $2,529/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $859/hr, reflecting a mix of trade labor and supervisory roles on facility projects. The company does not engage named subcontractors on its SCI-reportable prime contracts.

SAF Inc.'s awards portfolio clusters heavily in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (226 awards) and Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (84 awards), with top PSCs anchored to Repair or Alteration of Miscellaneous Buildings (107 awards) and Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings (40 awards). Work is performed across the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania), Army installations (Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Jefferson Barracks, Missouri), and scattered federal sites, with place-of-performance spanning domestic CONUS locations aligned to Army and Coast Guard facility geography. The vendor's corporate structure lists two registered entities, both similarly designated as minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged, Black American–owned for-profit Subchapter S corporations.
