Western Mechanical, Inc.

Western Mechanical, Inc., a Native American-owned, minority-owned small business based in Fairbanks, Alaska, performs boiler replacement, mechanical systems installation, HVAC work, and facility maintenance for federal agencies as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on military construction programs. The firm competes under the Total Small Business set-aside category.

Western Mechanical's customer base concentrates heavily with the Department of the Air Force, which accounts for 12 awards (43% of the recent award count), followed by the Department of the Army with 6 awards, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska with 3 awards, the National Park Service Alaska Region with 1 award ($389 thousand potential value), and the Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region with 1 award ($124 thousand potential value). The top-customers-by-count and top-customers-by-potential-value rankings diverge notably — the Air Force dominates volume, but a single Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service award carries $947 thousand in potential value and anchors the dollar concentration, while the National Park Service award ranks second in dollars despite being a single-item placement.

Recent capability work includes a $388,997 Total Small Business purchase order from the National Park Service Alaska Region, awarded August 3, 2026, for replacement of boiler and mechanical systems in six residential housing units at Katmai National Park through August 2, 2027, and a $121,979 Rural Energy for America Program project grant (CFDA 10.868) from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services, awarded December 2024, funding solar panel installation, HVAC enhancements, and building insulation at Western Mechanical's own facilities through December 2026.

Western Mechanical places task orders under an Indefinite Delivery Contract (DACA8587C0084) with three task orders and a Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization Alaska and Wake Island vehicle with one task order. As a subcontractor, the firm performs mechanical work on military construction projects for Asrc Builders LLC, including a missile field expansion and fitness center building improvements (awards dated August 2022 and March 2022). Two awards (combined potential value $389 thousand) face completion within the next twenty-four months and trigger recompete exposure. Activity has been episodic — one award per year in 2018, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2026 — with combined dollars obligated ($21.4 million) substantially exceeding combined potential value ($1.5 million), indicating a backlog of completed or mature work.
