NASA paid a small builder $1,004,511 for a new roof in Maryland

A small builder got a $1,004,511 NASA job to put a new roof on a building in Maryland.

The company is New Dominion Construction LLC. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center signed the order on Sept. 29, 2026. The work runs from Oct. 1, 2026, to March 30, 2027. The job is to replace the roof on Building 07.

Six companies sent in bids. Only one won. New Dominion is listed as a small business. It is also listed as an 8(a) firm and a HUBZone firm.

This was not a brand-new contract. It was an order under a bigger NASA deal that many builders share. That deal is number 80GSFC22DA006. If you are not on it, you could not bid on this order.

The award says no subcontracting plan was required. That does not mean the winner will do every task alone. A roof job still needs materials, a crane, a dumpster, and trade help.

What a supplier could still ask:

- Ask New Dominion who is buying the roofing materials, and when. - Ask if they need a sub for tear-off, sheet metal, or hauling. - Ask NASA Goddard when the next order under deal 80GSFC22DA006 will come out. - Look up solicitation 80GSFC26R0054 to see what this kind of job asks for.

The work starts now and must finish by spring. Suppliers who call early have the best shot.
