NAICS 238110: Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors

NAICS 238110 – Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors encompasses specialized construction services involving the formwork, reinforcement, and placement of poured concrete for foundational and structural elements, including footings, slabs, walls, columns, and retaining structures. This sector is critical to the physical infrastructure of federal facilities, from military barracks and logistics centers to courthouses and agricultural research buildings. Contractors in this space must adhere to strict engineering specifications, ASTM standards, and seismic or load-bearing requirements, often working in coordination with structural engineers and general contractors. As a foundational trade within the broader construction ecosystem, this NAICS code supports mission-critical infrastructure development across defense, civil, and public works projects. Top contractors in this sector include AAECON GENERAL CONTRACTING LLC and ENFIELD ENTERPRISES LLC, both of which are small businesses with demonstrated expertise in precision concrete placement and rapid-turnaround foundation systems. These firms often compete for task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, leveraging specialized capabilities in reinforced concrete and pre-pour quality control to secure federal work. Primary federal buyers include the Department of Defense, Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, and General Services Administration. Demand is driven by facility modernization, new construction at military installations, rural extension offices, detention centers, and federal building upgrades requiring durable, code-compliant concrete structures. These agencies prioritize contractors with proven experience in military-grade concrete standards and rapid deployment capabilities. The competitive landscape is moderately concentrated, with opportunities favoring small businesses with niche expertise in high-performance concrete systems and federal compliance. Contractors with certifications in ACI standards, OSHA safety protocols, and experience working under federal construction codes such as UFC and FEDSPEC are best positioned to capture recurring task orders. Increasing emphasis on resilient infrastructure and climate-adaptive design is driving demand for enhanced durability and corrosion-resistant concrete formulations.
