NASA Awards $450 Million Construction Contract to 30 Small Businesses for California Field Centers
NASA on June 10, 2026 announced the award of a Western Regional Multiple Award Construction Contract (WRMACC) to 30 small‑business contractors. The contract, valued at up to $450 million over five years, will provide general construction, modification, maintenance, repair, demolition, and new‑build services at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) in Edwards, California, and the Ames Research Center (ARC) in Moffett Field, California, as well as other federal facilities in the western United States.
The WRMACC is an indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity, firm‑fixed‑price contract that follows the agency’s previous regional construction contract. It is designed to support a broad range of facility enhancement, modernization, and sustainment work. Services will incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) practices and building information modeling (BIM) to promote efficient and sustainable project execution.
"The award of this contract demonstrates NASA’s commitment to supporting small‑business participation in federal construction projects," said Jennifer Dooren, NASA Headquarters. “The selected contractors will help maintain and upgrade the infrastructure that underpins our flight research and scientific missions.”
The 30 awardees include Abide International Inc., Able Heating and Air Conditioning, Anderson Burton Construction Inc., Anna Lisa Luna Construction, Barkley Andross Corporation, Bibro Construction Company Inc., CM Construction Services, CMS Construction Inc., FASONE, G‑1 Lead Builders JV LLC, Gideon USA, Good‑men Roofing & Construction Inc., Groundlevel Construction Inc., IPI Construction Inc., Innovative Project Solutions Inc., Ironwood Commercial Builders Inc., J.I. Garcia Construction Inc., JG Contracting, Lead Builders Inc., Martinez Construction Services, MX Construction Inc., OCS Construction Services Inc., Patricia I. Romero Inc. (Pacific West Builders), Gustav Keoni (Precision Construction), Prime MIK JV LLC, Spectrum Builders and Renovations Inc., Sea Pac Engineering Inc., Sergent Construction, Souza Construction Inc., and TLI Construction Inc.
The contract will cover a range of work at the AFRC, including upgrades to flight test facilities, support for aircraft maintenance, and improvements to laboratory spaces. At ARC, the contract will address the modernization of wind‑tunnel laboratories, the refurbishment of research laboratories, and the construction of new support buildings. Both centers are key components of NASA’s research and development portfolio.
The contract’s emphasis on LEED and BIM aligns with NASA’s broader sustainability goals. The agency has set targets for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse‑gas emissions across its field centers. By requiring contractors to use LEED‑certified designs and BIM workflows, NASA aims to accelerate the delivery of environmentally responsible facilities.
The WRMACC also expands opportunities for small businesses in the western United States. NASA’s procurement policy encourages the participation of women‑owned, minority‑owned, veteran‑owned, and small‑disadvantaged businesses. The 30 awardees represent a diverse mix of companies, many of which are headquartered in California.
The contract is a follow‑on to a previous regional construction contract that covered similar facilities. The new award is expected to generate significant economic activity in the region. The five‑year period will see the awardees complete a series of construction projects, ranging from minor repairs to full‑scale new‑builds.
NASA officials noted that the contract will also support the agency’s broader mission of advancing aeronautics and space science. The AFRC and ARC host a range of research activities, including hypersonic flight testing, atmospheric science, and advanced propulsion research. Maintaining and modernizing the physical infrastructure is essential to sustaining these programs.
The contract award was announced by NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and by the Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Contact information for the contracting officers is available on NASA’s procurement website.
As the contract moves into the execution phase, the selected contractors will begin work on priority projects identified by NASA’s facilities management teams. The contract’s firm‑fixed‑price structure provides budget certainty for the agency, while the indefinite‑delivery framework allows NASA to respond flexibly to changing project needs.
In the coming months, NASA will issue task orders under the WRMACC to initiate specific construction activities. The agency will also monitor compliance with LEED and BIM requirements and track progress against the five‑year schedule.
The award of the WRMACC underscores NASA’s ongoing investment in its field‑center infrastructure and its commitment to fostering small‑business participation in federal construction projects.
