Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity for a follow-on SABER IDIQ at Andersen AFB, Guam appears to have a confirmed incumbent, Aleut Construction (FA521521D0010), with a prior SABER IDIQ award valued at $57,275,578 covering Guam and the Hawaiian Islands (09/28/21–08/15/28) and multiple subsequent Guam-focused contract actions. The prior work description aligns closely with the current scope, including multi-trade construction and repair/minor alteration tasks (e.g., concrete, masonry, carpentry, electrical/plumbing, HVAC, roofing/paving) and related base engineering support at Andersen AFB. The ongoing nature of these Guam SABER task orders through the current period suggests continuity of the same base engineering requirements under the IDIQ structure.
