Western Construction & Equipment, LLC

Western Construction & Equipment, LLC, an Alaska-based construction and infrastructure services firm, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal construction and grounds maintenance contracts, with 63% of recent awards as prime and 37% as subcontractor work. The company competes without set-aside designation on most prime awards but holds total small business set-aside designations on several smaller delivery orders and purchase orders. Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, and registered in SAM.gov since April 2004, Western Construction is a for-profit limited liability company classified primarily under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and NAICS 234110 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with PSC alignment to highway maintenance (S206) and housekeeping/landscaping services (S208).

Western Construction's capability portfolio centers on grounds maintenance, snow and ice removal, road construction and maintenance, airfield pavement repair, trailhead infrastructure, and heavy civil construction in Alaska's challenging remote terrain. Representative prime work includes a $27.5 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded by Pacific Air Forces on April 15, 2026, for grounds maintenance and snow-ice removal services across approximately 482 acres at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, running through April 2031; a $25 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Forest Service Region 10 for road construction and maintenance across Chugach and Tongass National Forests in Southcentral and Southeast Alaska through December 2027; and a $488.5 thousand delivery order from the Forest Service for culvert installation and trailhead infrastructure at Portage Pass in Hungry Horse, Montana, completed October 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, which accounts for 40 awards and $71.1 million of combined potential value — representing 69% of the total $102.6 million potential value across the entire portfolio. The Forest Service Region 10 (Alaska) is the second-largest customer by award count (26 awards, $1.7 million), but the Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) anchors the second-largest dollar value (1 award, $25 million). The top three customers by potential value account for 96% of the portfolio. This concentration reflects Western Construction's geographic specialization and long-standing JBER prime relationship; the April 2026 Pacific Air Forces award significantly expands the company's dollar exposure to that single customer through 2031.

Western Construction holds five active parent IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA500021D0002 (Pacific Air Forces, 34 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract AG0120C070013 (Forest Service Region 10, 14 task orders, $1.2 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract AG0120C100001 (Forest Service Region 10, 10 task orders, $370 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract AG01095001094008G (Forest Service Region 10, 8 task orders, $1.2 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract AG0120C130009 (Forest Service Region 10, 8 task orders, $360 thousand). The FA500021D0002 vehicle dominates task order volume and is the source of the April 2026 grounds maintenance contract.

On the subcontractor side, Western Construction performs materials hauling, sweeping, trucking, and pavement repair work under ASRC Earthworks, LLC (prime on paving, parking lot, and taxiway repair contracts at JBER) and ASRC Federal Field Services, LLC (prime on base operations and maintenance). Subcontract work clusters at JBER between February 2024 and April 2026, with 34 sub awards under ASRC Earthworks for sweeping, hauling, and construction support, plus one sub award from Kiewit Infrastructure West for material hauling on runway extension work. The sub footprint reflects Western Construction's role as a specialist materials and labor provider on Alaska military construction and maintenance projects rather than as a prime systems integrator.

Activity has grown sharply in recent years, moving from 1 award in 2021 to 19 in 2024 and 11 in 2026 year-to-date. The April 2026 Pacific Air Forces prime contract, with ultimate completion in April 2031, represents the largest single recompete exposure in the pipeline, followed by the Forest Service Region 6 road services contract completion in December 2027. Of the 103 total awards in the portfolio, approximately 57% of the combined potential value has been obligated to date, reflecting a portfolio still in early execution phase on the largest JBER contract.
