Akima Facilities Operations LLC

Akima Facilities Operations LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation–owned 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, operates as a self-performing prime contractor delivering comprehensive facilities management, base operations support, HVAC repairs, and infrastructure maintenance services across federal military installations and civilian research centers. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—415 of 416 recent awards are prime—with no material subcontracting footprint (0.2% of awards), self-performing the substantial majority of work across a 1,182-FTE federal footprint in FY2025 and generating $129.2 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue that year alone.

Akima's customer concentration reflects two distinct customer tiers. By award count, the Marine Corps dominates with 136 awards ($244.2 million combined potential value), followed by the National Institutes of Health (44 awards, $122.9 million) and the Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (44 awards, $28.2 million). By potential value, however, the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region anchors the portfolio ($1.1 billion across 7 awards, 38% of total combined potential value), driven by two massive awards: a $563.9 million ten-year competitive 8(a) contract for facilities management at multiple Army installations and a $184.9 million delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for labor support services at Letterkenny Army Depot, Pennsylvania (completion September 2029). The Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command adds $580.9 million across 10 awards. These three Army customers alone represent $2.26 billion, or 77%, of Akima's $2.92 billion combined potential value across the portfolio. Seventy-four percent of awards by count and 78% of potential value flow through the top five customers, indicating substantial but not extreme concentration on Army programs offset by recurring Marine Corps volume work.

Akima places the majority of its task-order volume through five master indefinite delivery contracts. IDC N6247019D2008, a Naval Facilities Engineering Command multi-function facility services vehicle, accounts for 153 task orders valued at $85.1 million across Navy and Marine Corps installations, with Akima as one of multiple awardees. The Air Force's IDC 75N98023D00048 for E-9A combined logistics support (27 task orders, $58.2 million) and IDC 75N98021D00010 for broader contractor logistics support (22 task orders, $39.7 million) represent established Air Force relationships. USDA Agricultural Research Service IDC 12905B21D0004 carries 65 task orders ($964 thousand combined value) for recurring facilities maintenance at research centers, while IDC 12505B19D0001 adds 59 orders ($1.9 million). Akima also holds a $55 million single-award 8(a) sole-source Air Force IDC for E-9A aircraft logistics support (completion June 2029), a $25 million Department of Energy single-award IDC for construction services at National Energy Technology Laboratory locations in Albany, Oregon (completion September 2027), and a $5.6 million Army single-award 8(a) sole-source IDC for base operations support at Sharpe Army Depot, California (completion September 2027). On the civilian side, Akima holds a $37.5 million NIH single-award IDC for comprehensive facilities maintenance at the Bethesda, Maryland campus, which has generated approximately $36.6 million in delivery orders through June 2026. The vendor also carries a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (Special Item Number 561210FAC, Facilities Maintenance Management) with a $475,000 ceiling through March 2029, offering 65 labor categories priced from $34.11/hr (material planners) through $174.05/hr (quality control managers), all non-cleared roles ranging from high school to bachelor's education requirements. Akima was awarded a position on the OASIS+ Unrestricted government-wide acquisition contract (multiple award, no specified ceiling) on December 17, 2024, enabling broader federal agency access to the vendor's services.

The vendor's core capability portfolio spans facilities support services (374 awards), custodial and janitorial operations (51 awards), laboratory and clinic maintenance (59 awards), and administrative facility maintenance (20 awards). Representative work includes recurring monthly base operations support at Sharpe Army Depot (facilities maintenance, custodial services, solid waste management, grounds maintenance, water and wastewater treatment plant operations); recurring temporary HVAC cooling and heating support at Marine Corps Base Quantico (fire defense system repairs, HVAC temporary cooling and boiler installations, UPS battery replacement, electrical and plumbing repairs); elevator maintenance and facility repairs at the NIH Bethesda campus (vertical conveyance system repairs, emergency elevator restoration, on-demand elevator operational support); specialized facilities maintenance at USDA Western Regional Research Center, Albany, California (HVAC system repairs, chiller and boiler maintenance, walk-in freezer repairs, electrical and plumbing work, greenhouse lighting installations); and construction and renovation services at Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory sites (design-build facility renovations, equipment pad modifications, roof replacement with asbestos abatement). SCI data shows government-paid hourly rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $24.42/hr through a median of $55.07/hr to a 90th percentile of $169.60/hr, reflecting a labor mix of custodial staff, HVAC technicians, skilled trades, and senior technical management. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Akima performed 96% of contractor hours internally and engaged subcontractors for only 4% of hours, with 39 named subcontractors across the portfolio—a self-performing operational model characteristic of base operations support and facilities maintenance businesses.

Activity has grown substantially: FY2022 saw 358 FTEs and $38.1 million in SCI-reported invoicing; FY2025 shows 1,153 FTEs and $129.2 million, more than tripling the workforce and invoiced revenue in three years. Within the past 24 months, 31 awards carry ultimate completion dates and combined potential value of $697.8 million, representing a significant recompete cliff—most notably the $563.9 million Army Materiel Command contract, the $184.9 million Letterkenny Army Depot delivery order under GSA Schedule, and multiple Marine Corps and Air Force multi-year vehicle options approaching expiration.

Akima Facilities Operations LLC is a subsidiary of Akima LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation based in Herndon, Virginia, which operates four named subsidiaries (Akima Centerra Integrated Services LLC, Akima KBR Operations LLC, Akima KBR Solutions LLC, and Ikun LLC), all carrying Alaskan Native ownership and SBA 8(a) or small disadvantaged business certifications. The parent company Akima LLC's organizational structure and multi-subsidiary network position the firm to compete aggressively for 8(a) set-asides and leverage Alaskan Native Corporation status across federal facilities management, sustainment logistics, and energy sector contracting. Across the portfolio, 8(a) set-asides—both competitive and sole-source—recur prominently in Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and USDA awards, and the vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) designation rather than full-and-open procurements, though recent larger awards (Letterkenny, Redstone Arsenal) reflect open competition under GSA Schedule vehicles where small disadvantaged business status confers preference. The vendor operates with minimal subcontracting engagement and no external prime relationships in the source material, positioning Akima as a self-contained delivery platform rather than a feeder vendor to larger contractors.

Our services include building and structures maintenance, vehicle equipment operations and maintenance, ground and surface area maintenance, warehouse operations, material management, shipping and receiving, inventory control, plant operations, data management and more.
