Navy Awards EJC International $50 Million Tower and Hangar Inspection Contract
EJC International Services LLC, of Wayne, New Jersey, won a firm-fixed-price contract for architect-engineer services covering Navy aircraft hangars, communication and utility towers through August 2031.
WAYNE, NEW JERSEY — EJC International Services LLC, a Wayne, New Jersey, engineering firm, won a $50 million Navy contract to inspect aircraft hangars and communication towers at bases worldwide, as announced on war.gov.
The firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award covers architect-engineer services under the Navy’s specialized inspection program, which examines aircraft hangars and various communication and utility towers. The contract also includes inspection and repair of select towers at military installations. The maximum dollar value, including the base period, reaches $50 million, according to war.gov.
Work will span military installations across the United States and worldwide, with completion expected by August 2031. Fiscal 2026 operations and maintenance funds of $10,000 cover the minimum guarantee at award and expire at the end of the current fiscal year, according to war.gov. The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center, based in Port Hueneme, California, serves as the contracting activity.
The award carries stakes for base readiness and safety. Aircraft hangars shelter multimillion-dollar aircraft, while communication and utility towers underpin command networks and installation power. Regular condition inspections reduce the risk of structural failure and unplanned downtime. The contractor gains a five-year revenue stream, while rival bidders lost a recurring source of work.
The Navy competitively procured the contract through the PIEE.gov website and received one offer, according to war.gov. A single-bid outcome on a nationwide inspection program signals a narrow field of firms holding the specialized certifications the Navy requires for tower and hangar work.
This award marks the first contract recorded for EJC International Services LLC in 2026, lifting the company’s total contract value for the year to $50 million, according to war.gov. It also stands as the seventh Department of Defense contract awarded in New Jersey during 2026. The deal establishes the company’s initial benchmark within the Navy portfolio.
Measured against the broader Navy portfolio, the award sits far below the year’s largest deals. It falls between the 2026 Navy portfolio’s year-to-date minimum of $9 million and its maximum of $8 billion, according to war.gov. The Pentagon announced the award among six Department of Defense contracts issued nationwide on August 3, 2026.
For the average reader, the deal shows how routine infrastructure upkeep at military bases translates into steady federal spending with private firms. Taxpayer dollars fund inspections meant to keep hangars standing and towers operational, work that rarely draws headlines but protects costly equipment.
This type of recurring engineering award has happened before. The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center routinely issues multiyear architect-engineer contracts for inspection and repair across its installations, according to war.gov. Such indefinite-delivery vehicles let the Navy order individual task assignments as inspection needs arise.
The next decisions rest with the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center, which will issue individual task orders under the contract as inspection needs emerge. A date for the first task order has not been announced.
Military tower inspection has drawn federal attention as happened before. Communication towers trace back to the U.S. military’s adoption of radio at the turn of the 20th century, when the Navy established shore stations after 1899 to link ships and bases, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Steel lattice towers rose across coastal installations in the decades that followed. Maintaining that aging infrastructure became a permanent obligation, one that firms like EJC now inherit through contracts spanning years.
This contract represents the 1st contract awarded to EJC International Services LLC, in 2026, bringing the company’s total contract value for the year to $50,000,000. It is also the 7th Department of Defense contract awarded in New Jersey during 2026. Because this is the first award to EJC International Services LLC recorded in the database, it establishes the company’s initial benchmark within the Navy portfolio. Specifically, it falls between the 2026 Navy portfolio’s year-to-date minimum of $9,046,496 and maximum of $8,000,000,000. Overall, this award was announced among 6 Department of Defense contracts issued nationwide on August 3, 2026.
