Conti Federal Named to $15B Military Construction Contract
Conti Federal Services, a leading construction and design-build firm with a strong track record of delivering complex projects for the U.S. federal government, has been selected as an awardee of the $15 billion Design-Build Multiple Award Construction Contract (DBMACC) administered by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific. This contract represents a significant milestone for Conti Federal and underscores the firm’s growing presence in the strategically vital Pacific region.
The DBMACC is structured as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC), which allows NAVFAC to issue a wide range of task orders over the next decade. The scope of work under this program is both diverse and critical, covering projects that range from brand-new construction to repair, renovation, and minor facility improvements. With a contract ceiling of $15 billion and a performance period that extends until 2033, this program is designed to ensure that the U.S. Navy and other defense stakeholders have reliable, resilient, and mission-ready infrastructure to support their operations.
Scope of Work and Mission Impact
Projects to be executed under the DBMACC will span nearly every category of military and federal construction. These include:
- Housing and Accommodations: New and renovated barracks, dormitories, and temporary housing facilities designed to support the welfare and readiness of service members.
- Operational and Administrative Buildings: Construction of administrative offices, communication hubs, command centers, and other mission-supporting structures.
- Medical and Educational Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and medical complexes, alongside schools and training centers that support both active-duty personnel and their families.
- Dining and Logistics: Dining halls, warehouses, storage complexes, and logistics support facilities.
- Industrial and Training Areas: Industrial sites, ranges, and advanced training environments where service members can prepare for mission-critical activities.
- Transportation and Utilities Infrastructure: Roads, bridges, and essential utility systems, ensuring that installations remain accessible and fully operational.
- Aviation Facilities: Construction and modernization of hangars, aprons, and related infrastructure vital for aircraft readiness.
A hallmark of the DBMACC program is its emphasis on sustainability and resilience. Many of the projects awarded under this vehicle will be designed with energy efficiency, climate adaptability, and environmental stewardship in mind. NAVFAC has prioritized the integration of renewable energy systems, water conservation measures, and advanced materials that extend the lifespan of facilities while reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Strategic Focus on Guam and the Pacific
While the DBMACC is open to projects across NAVFAC Pacific’s broad area of responsibility, the bulk of task orders are expected to be executed in Guam, a key U.S. defense outpost in the Indo-Pacific region. Guam’s geographic location makes it an indispensable hub for U.S. military operations, training, and logistics in the face of rising regional challenges.
By strengthening Guam’s infrastructure, NAVFAC ensures that service members stationed there have access to modern, reliable facilities capable of supporting rapid deployments, joint exercises, and sustained missions. The investments will also have secondary benefits for local communities by creating jobs, supporting small businesses, and enhancing the island’s resilience to natural disasters such as typhoons.
Jason Roberts, Regional Business Development Director – Pacific for Conti Federal, highlighted the company’s commitment to Guam in a statement accompanying the announcement:
“Participation in the DBMACC in Guam reflects Conti Federal’s continued commitment to supporting NAVFAC’s mission in this strategically significant location. Our proven expertise and disciplined approach will ensure the delivery of essential facilities and resilient infrastructure that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.”
Building on a Strong Pacific Portfolio
Conti Federal is not a newcomer to the Pacific. The company has steadily expanded its presence in the region through multiple contract vehicles and completed projects. Its Pacific portfolio already includes two important awards:
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District $495M Hawaii MATOC: A multi-award task order contract that provides Conti Federal with opportunities to deliver a wide array of military and civil works projects across Hawaii.
- NAVFAC Pacific $990M Indo-Pacific IDIQ MACC: Another major contract vehicle enabling the firm to compete for and deliver projects across the broader Indo-Pacific theater.
In addition to these ongoing opportunities, Conti Federal has successfully executed high-value projects that demonstrate its ability to meet the unique demands of the region. Notable examples include:
- Building Renovation at Camp Hansen in Okinawa, Japan: Modernizing facilities to better serve U.S. Marines stationed in Okinawa, one of the most strategically significant bases in the Pacific.
- Fuel System Repair at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam: Ensuring operational readiness for one of the most critical air bases in the Indo-Pacific, where long-range bomber and reconnaissance aircraft are frequently deployed.
These accomplishments reinforce Conti Federal’s reputation as a trusted partner capable of handling sensitive, mission-critical projects in environments that often pose logistical and environmental challenges.
Why This Award Matters
The $15 billion DBMACC is not just another contract. For Conti Federal, it represents both an opportunity and a responsibility. The opportunity lies in the scale and diversity of projects that the company will have the chance to deliver. Each task order will not only strengthen U.S. military readiness but also contribute to advancing construction innovation in areas like digital project delivery, modular construction, and energy-efficient systems.
The responsibility stems from the strategic importance of the work. Guam and the Pacific theater are at the forefront of U.S. defense strategy, particularly amid rising geopolitical tensions. Ensuring that military installations in this region are modern, resilient, and fully capable directly impacts the ability of the U.S. to project power and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific.
Conti Federal’s inclusion in the DBMACC validates its long-standing expertise in federal contracting, its robust project delivery methods, and its ability to integrate safety, quality, and innovation across all phases of construction.
