Off-island group bags new Guam MilCon contract; awards continue to trickle out

Military construction awards for the Micronesian region continue to trickle out, showing the continued presence of Guam companies and those that have a strong federal construction portfolio elsewhere but also take advantage of regional opportunities.

Most but not all regional awards continue to be made by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific.

KTH Services JV LLC of Colorado Springs, Colo., was awarded a $43.27 million facilities maintenance five-year contract for Marine Corps Camp Blaz in Guam on July 18 by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Marianas, according to Journal sources.

The solicitation was issued as restricted to HUB Zone Small Businesses, with four proposals received.

KTH’s group does business under various names. “The THTBC family of companies brings 35+ years of infrastructure services experience to our customers,” its website says.

The site also identifies Tlingit Haida as a “Tribal business corporation,” offering “services and capabilities spanning a broad spectrum from facilities maintenance logistics and transportation to cybersecurity, IT and system development.”

The Haina Nation and the Tlingit Nation are two Indian tribes of Alaska, according to the site, making KTH eligible for contracting preferences that are deemed to principally benefit economically disadvantaged Native Hawaiians.

In 2016, THTBC acquired KIRA Inc., a federal contractor with more than 30 years of experience in facilities maintenance and base operations, the site says.

Work the group has been awarded includes engineering work for the U.S. Air Force Academy, and facilities maintenance at the U.S. Department of State. THTBC has 30 subsidiaries and has offices in Virginia, Colorado and at Fort Carson, Colo., and recently supported the reception of Afghan parolees during the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan.

The facilities maintenance contract just awarded can be likened to the Base Operating Support services contract held by DZSP for other military facilities in Guam.

Pacific Federal Management Inc. of Guam was awarded a $14.52 million firm-fixed-price contract for the construction of training facilities at Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz. The work provides for construction of training facilities to support III Marine Expeditionary Force, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, according to a July 11 release from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Work is expected to be completed by March 2026. The contract was competitively procured via the sam.gov website, with four proposals received. NAVFAC Pacific made the award.

In other MilCon news, Parsons Government Services Inc. of Centreville, Va. was awarded a $68,567,100 firm-fixed-price contract for family housing construction at Kwajalein Atoll, according to a July 12 release from the U.S. Department of Defense. The estimated completion date is July 13, 2027.

The U.S. Army Garrison – Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands is home to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. Kwajalein and Roi-Namur have more than 1,250 residents, which are comprised of military personnel, Army civilians, contractor employees and family members.

The project is funded from fiscal 2010 Army funds, according to the release. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Far East District made the award, for which three bids were received. mbj
