Urban Electric, Inc.

Urban Electric, Inc., doing business as Urban Engineering & Construction, is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business that provides electrical power systems installation, design, and modernization services to the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor on a $631.7 million indefinite delivery contract and related definitive contracts. The company is Asian-Pacific American-owned and DOT-certified as a disadvantaged business enterprise, headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and competes on full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

Urban Electric's federal work centers on power infrastructure engineering and installation for civilian aviation facilities. The company designs, installs, and commissions emergency generators (20 kilowatts and above), uninterruptible power supplies (10 kilovolt-amperes and above), diesel and propane fuel storage tank systems, underground distribution cabling, electrical grounding systems, and lightning protection equipment at FAA air traffic control towers, airports, radar sites, and related facilities nationwide. Recent representative work includes a $1.09 million delivery order for emergency generator, electrical grounding, and diesel fuel tank installation at Battle Mountain, Nevada; a $775 thousand task for Low-Profile Ground-Based Surveillance system optimization at Chicago's Midway Airport; a $687 thousand indoor generator and power systems project at Bangor, Maine; and a $5.1 million definitive contract for a tower simulator system awarded by the FAA Southwestern Region in June 2026. The company has also delivered a $1.2 million Internet Protocol voice communication systems contract and numerous smaller design and site survey orders across the FAA's domestic and territorial network.

Urban Electric's customer concentration is extreme and stable. The FAA accounts for 156 awards (91% of recent volume) worth $666.7 million in combined potential value, with that dominance split primarily among FAA Headquarters (156 awards, $666.7 million) and FAA Franchise Acquisition Services (28 awards, $42.5 million). The General Services Administration and Department of Transportation regional offices account for the remaining 9% of volume and less than 2% of dollars. This reflects Urban Electric's specialization in FAA power infrastructure rather than diversification across customer agencies.

Urban Electric holds a position on the FAA's $631.7 million Power Systems Installation Services indefinite delivery contract running through October 2026, which has anchored 134 task orders worth $27.4 million combined potential value. The vendor also places work under multiple other FAA indefinite delivery and blanket purchase agreement vehicles: an IDC worth $15.1 million (124 task orders), a BPA worth $3.3 million (six task orders), and several smaller vehicles. The company competes under full-and-open rules; the Power Systems Installation Services IDIQ itself uses a partial small business set-aside, but Urban Electric's individual task orders do not carry set-aside designations.

Activity has been cyclical. The vendor received 57 awards in 2022, declining to 31 in 2023 and 35 in 2024, then dropping to eight awards in 2025 and six through mid-2026. Sixteen awards totaling $10.6 million in potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure or replacement work opportunity. The source does not characterize the cause of the year-over-year decline—whether it reflects project cycles, budget constraints, or competitive displacement—but the volume drop is material.

Urban Electric operates entirely as a prime contractor; the source carries no subcontract awards. The company's NAICS footprint is concentrated in electrical contracting (275 awards, primarily NAICS 27100 on installation and wiring) and commercial building construction. PSC distribution centers on equipment installation—electrical and electronic components (135 awards) and electric wire and power distribution (125 awards). The vendor has executed delivery orders across 29 states and U.S. territories, with primary funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, indicating reliance on federal infrastructure modernization appropriations rather than sustaining operations budgets.

Urban specializes in industrial and commercial electrical and general contracting construction. High standards of quality and safety are achieved.
