South Bay EDC Inc.

South Bay EDC Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Gilbert, Arizona, delivers electrical infrastructure modernization, fire protection systems installation and replacement, and facility maintenance and upgrade services to Department of Defense installations as a prime contractor, predominantly under small business set-asides on the Dry Utilities V MACC vehicle. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation that competes across both total small business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders, with 99% of recent awards as prime contracts and a subsidiary, CCS Construction Group, certified as a small disadvantaged business.

South Bay EDC's customer concentration is heavily skewed to the Department of the Navy. Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors the portfolio with 19 awards carrying $762.2 million in combined potential value (84% of all dollars), while Navy Installations Command places 44 awards worth $59.4 million. Together these two Navy components represent 62% of award count and 97% of combined potential value across the portfolio. Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center round out the top-five customer set. The portfolio spans 20 distinct federal customer agencies, but the concentration with Naval Facilities Engineering Command as the primary vehicle administrator defines the vendor's federal footprint.

The Dry Utilities V MACC, a $495 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded under total small business set-aside on November 8, 2023, with completion through November 8, 2031, is South Bay EDC's signature vehicle. South Bay EDC holds 14 task orders valued at $71.1 million under this MACC alone. The vehicle authorizes delivery orders for electrical distribution systems, communications infrastructure, alternative energy projects, fire protection systems, and facility modernization work at Navy and Marine Corps installations across six western states. Beyond Dry Utilities V, South Bay EDC placed task orders under older Navy IDIQs carrying material value: Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247319D2444 (22 task orders, $26.7 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247306D5504 (39 task orders, $2.3 million combined potential value), and a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center for the BIG SAFARI program through April 2025.

Representative work under Dry Utilities V includes a $44.3 million shore power mound repair and replacement at Naval Base Ventura County (July 28, 2024, completion May 27, 2027), a $7.8 million 35kV power repairs and PG&E gas pipeline upgrade project at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (September 5, 2024, completion September 19, 2026), a $4.18 million EV charging station installation at Naval Base Point Loma (July 25, 2024, completion October 3, 2026), a $3.99 million B-546 switchgear replacement at Naval Weapons Station Detachment Norco (May 1, 2026, completion July 30, 2029), and a $1.95 million substation replacement at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego (January 14, 2026, completion January 4, 2028). The firm fixed-price structure is standard across all delivery orders; all Dry Utilities V awards carry total small business set-aside designations. Work outside Dry Utilities V includes a $2.7 million fire protection system repair and replacement at Naval Air Station Point Mugu (January 19, 2023, completion July 17, 2024) and a $1.84 million BIG SAFARI delivery order to the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center (September 13, 2022, completion September 12, 2023).

Activity shows a growth trajectory through 2024 (six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, fifteen in 2024) followed by a sharp decline (five awards in 2025, two in 2026). Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $48.6 million, representing modest near-term recompete exposure. The portfolio's work concentration falls under NAICS codes for flooring contractors (39 awards), commercial and institutional building construction (29 awards), plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (23 awards), and power and communication line construction (18 awards), with PSC codes aligned to building maintenance, repair, and alteration.

South Bay EDC executed one sub-award as a subcontractor to JT4 LLC on a Joint Range Technical Services (J-TECH II) solar project delivery order in July 2024, representing minimal sub engagement relative to its dominant prime footprint. The vendor's 152 total awards (151 prime, one sub) carry $903.2 million in combined potential value, with $163.7 million (18% of potential) obligated to date, reflecting the typical invoicing profile for multi-year construction delivery orders on federal facilities.
