Tuckman-Barbee Construction Co., Inc.

Tuckman-Barbee Construction Co., Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, performs federal construction, renovation, and facility expansion work for the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under small-business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The company operates across 233 prime awards with a combined potential value of $1.1 billion, placing it as a significant Navy construction partner with exposure to multiple naval commands and regional construction vehicles.

Tuckman-Barbee's capability portfolio centers on military facility construction and renovation. Representative recent work includes a $7.418 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (May 2026) for B198 Weapon Integration Facility High Bay Expansion at Naval Station Dahlgren, Virginia (completion September 2028); an $18.617 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (August 2024) for Building 164 renovation at Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head, Maryland (completion September 2026); and a $21.17 million Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (September 2023) for clean room laboratory construction at the Naval Research Laboratory Compound Semiconductor Production Facility in Washington, D.C. (completion September 2026). The company also executes work under full-and-open vehicles, including a $7.89 million non-set-aside delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2025) for backup utilities installation and oven curing capability upgrade at Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head and a $9.636 million non-set-aside delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (September 2024) for sonobuoy storage and aircraft maintenance building development at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Navy. Naval Facilities Engineering Command alone accounts for 15 awards carrying $803.2 million in combined potential value—93% of the vendor's total potential-value footprint across all customers. The top five Navy-related funding lines (NAVFAC, Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research, Naval Sea Systems Command, Navy Installations Command, and the broader Department of the Navy) represent 67% of awards by count and the vast majority by dollars. Other customers include the National Gallery of Art (35 awards, $1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District (1 award, $30.1 million), and 14 other federal agencies at lower volume.

Tuckman-Barbee operates across multiple Navy and multi-agency indefinite delivery vehicles. Its largest parent contract vehicles by task-order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247799D0093 (56 task orders), N6247799D0044 (31 task orders), and N6247704D0168 (28 task orders, $42.6 million combined potential value). The company also places significant work under N4008021D0024 (12 task orders, $110.9 million combined potential value) and GS11P03YAD0044 (11 task orders, $18.3 million combined potential value). The vendor's award history spans from 1991 to present, though recent activity has declined—one award in 2025 and one in 2026—following three awards in 2024, four in 2023, and three in 2022. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $15.3 million, signaling limited near-term recompete exposure. Work is categorized almost entirely under NAICS 236100 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with 104 awards in that category.
