Government contracting in New Hampshire

New Hampshire pulls federal demand from Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Pease. State civilian spending out of Concord rounds out a small but stable buying base.

How AXA South operates in New Hampshire

No special license required. AXA South bids and holds prime government contracts as an authorized contracting party. No special license is required to bid or hold the prime relationship in the categories we pursue. Any work that requires a state-issued trade, professional, or specialty license is performed by subcontractors who hold those licenses in the project jurisdiction.

New HampshireNew Hampshire licenses construction at the trade level. Qualifying work is performed by appropriately licensed trades.

AXA South is a contracting and program-management firm, not a licensed trade.

How New Hampshire buys

What actually moves money here.

The economic base

Precision manufacturing, defense electronics, submarine overhaul work tied to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and a tourism and outdoor-recreation economy in the north.

Who buys, and how

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard performs submarine overhauls on multi-year availabilities, which makes it a milestone-driven subcontract and supply market. State purchasing under the Department of Administrative Services is compact and centralized.

Fiscal calendar and season

State fiscal year ends June 30. Shipyard availability schedules, not the fiscal year, set the rhythm for the state's largest federal work. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, so August and September carry the heaviest volume of simplified-acquisition and micro-purchase activity at every installation in the state.

Small business and set-asides

New Hampshire does not operate a state minority set-aside program. NHDOT administers the federal DBE program, and federal socioeconomic categories apply on federally funded contracts.

The mistake that loses New Hampshire bids

Approaching the shipyard as a prime market. Most accessible work there flows through established overhaul contractors, and supplier qualification precedes any quote.
