Trinity North Star JV

Trinity North Star JV, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business joint venture based in Plumas Lake, California, performs infrastructure maintenance, repair, and construction services for the U.S. Coast Guard and Air Force as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under SDVOSB, Total Small Business, and full-and-open set-asides. The partnership structure qualifies for multiple SBA designations: SDVOSB, veteran-owned business, American Indian-owned, and small disadvantaged business status.

Trinity North Star JV operates almost exclusively under two federal contract vehicles: the Coast Guard RMACC 2019 regional maintenance and construction IDIQ (20 task orders, $25.3 million combined potential value) and an Air Force indefinite-delivery contract (10 task orders, $13.5 million combined potential value). Across both vehicles, the vendor delivers electrical system repairs, potable water and sewage infrastructure upgrades, HVAC replacements, power distribution equipment work, roof replacements, fire alarm system installations, building facade maintenance, and facility lighting retrofits. Representative recent work includes a $4.2 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Coast Guard for maintenance and repair of Building 20 in San Pedro, California (award date September 30, 2026, completion date March 29, 2027), a $1.96 million order for roof replacement and general building repairs at Coast Guard Station Petaluma (September 23, 2025), and a $2.19 million Air Force Air Combat Command order for power distribution equipment repair at the Upgraded Early Warning Radar substation at Beale Air Force Base (award date September 30, 2022).

Customer concentration is stark: the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 21 of 32 awards (65% by count, $300.3 million in combined potential value), while the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command holds 10 awards ($106.5 million). The two rankings align entirely — both volume and dollars concentrate on Coast Guard work. Place of performance spans California (San Pedro, Alameda, Rio Vista, Novato, Petaluma, Sacramento, Monterey, and Beale Air Force Base) and Washington State (Bremerton). Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 236200 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction; 21 awards) and 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction; 11 awards), with PSC coding reflecting repair and alteration of maintenance and industrial buildings.

Trinity North Star JV operates on a strictly prime-contract basis with no subcontractor relationships recorded in the source data. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $485 thousand across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $330 thousand, FY2024: $156 thousand, with no SCI-reportable activity in FY2023 or FY2025), with minimal FTE intensity (0.1 FTEs in FY2022, 0.2 FTEs in FY2024). This low SCI footprint reflects the vendor's business model: most work is construction and repair valued above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold but classified as goods or project-based capital work rather than recurring federal service contracts. SCI-captured labor, where present, commands median government-paid rates around $1,615/hour, with rates ranging from approximately $403/hour at the tenth percentile to $2,022/hour at the ninety-fifth percentile — consistent with skilled trades and project management roles in federal facility work.

Activity has grown unevenly: one award in 2021, a peak of ten in 2022, then three in each of 2024 and 2025, and five in 2026 (through September). Six awards carrying combined potential value of $10.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore carry recompete exposure. The vendor's award pipeline skews toward near-term project completions rather than longer-duration IDIQs, creating episodic revenue recognition rather than steady-state service-contract scaling.
