Safeco Inc.

Safeco Inc., a Norfolk, Virginia-based minority-owned, Black American-owned small business and SBA 8(a) certified participant, delivers construction, maintenance, and facilities infrastructure services to the Department of Defense and select civilian agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source set-asides on Navy delivery orders, with occasional full-and-open awards.

Safeco's portfolio concentrates on facilities repair, renovation, and maintenance work at naval installations across Virginia. Representative work spans HVAC system repairs, electrical infrastructure upgrades, building renovations, flooring and carpet replacement, and miscellaneous facilities maintenance. Recent prime awards include a $611,276 firm fixed-price delivery order from Navy Installations Command for installation of a concrete slab for dynamometers at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Building 510 (awarded September 2024), a $3.2 million definitive contract from the Internal Revenue Service for renovation and painting services at the IRS Annex in Chamblee, Georgia (awarded August 2023), and a $404,564 delivery order for carpet replacement and design modification work at Naval Station Norfolk (awarded July 2025).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Navy commands in the Virginia region. The top five funding agencies account for 84% of awards by count and 93% of combined potential value. Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads by potential value with 17 awards worth $22.8 million combined, while Navy Installations Command dominates by award frequency with 52 awards valued at $5.5 million combined. Safeco also serves the United States Marine Corps (5 awards, $514 thousand), Naval Air Systems Command (3 awards, $612 thousand), and Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (3 awards, $107 thousand). The two rankings track closely — the largest dollar awards align with NAVFAC's infrastructure projects, while the highest award volume reflects ongoing task orders from Navy Installations Command.

Safeco holds two primary Indefinite Delivery contracts with Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The first, awarded September 14, 2022, carries a $4 million ceiling through September 13, 2027, and supports general construction, maintenance, and facilities support services across Navy and Marine Corps installations in Virginia. The second, awarded September 30, 2024, carries a $4.5 million ceiling through September 29, 2029, and authorizes general construction projects at Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth facilities, with places of performance in Portsmouth, Virginia. Task orders issued against these vehicles have ranged from approximately $12,500 to $778,000. In addition, Safeco places work against three other Navy-issued IDIQs (N4008522D0090, N4008517D9309, and N4008520D0109), each supporting task order activity in the $2.9 million to $3.8 million range.

Activity shows cyclical volatility — 5 awards in 2022, rising to 18 in 2023, declining to 8 in 2024, recovering to 16 in 2025, and settling at 5 through April 2026. Combined potential value across all 95 prime awards stands at $35.3 million, with $14.8 million obligated (42% of potential value). The vendor's work concentrates overwhelmingly in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (85 awards) and Industrial Building Construction (6 awards) under NAICS 236221 and related codes. By PSC, repair or alteration of miscellaneous buildings anchors the portfolio (42 awards), followed by administrative facilities and service buildings (8 awards) and office buildings (6 awards).

Safeco operates as a self-performing prime contractor with no material subcontractor engagement reported in the source data. The Service Contract Inventory captures minimal activity — three records spanning FY2023 and FY2024, with zero invoiced revenue on prime contracts and roughly 3.1 FTEs delivered in FY2024 across one prime and one sub record. This sparse SCI footprint reflects the vendor's focus on facilities construction and repair (goods-heavy work) rather than service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Safeco does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or GSA Schedules; all work flows through Navy-issued IDIQs and single-award task orders.
