The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) awarded a $29.8 million single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to CAS FSE JV II LLC, a Small Business Administration certified 8(a) joint venture, to provide operations and maintenance support services at USDA research facilities in Athens, Georgia through October 2028. CAS FSE JV II LLC, a minority-owned, veteran-owned, and small disadvantaged business, specializes in delivering a wide range of facility management and engineering services to government clients. Under this IDIQ contract, CAS FSE JV II LLC has received numerous delivery orders for various facility support services at the USDA National Poultry Research Center, including building renovations, infrastructure upgrades, mechanical system replacements, and grounds maintenance. The company also holds a $4.2 million single-award IDIQ contract with the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service to provide facilities and engineering services for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These contract awards demonstrate CAS FSE JV II LLC's capacity to manage comprehensive facility support services for major federal agencies over extended periods.
The USDA ARS originally sought an 8(a) set-aside contractor to provide operations and maintenance support at the National Poultry Research Center in Athens through a pre-solicitation notice issued in April 2023. The draft performance work statement outlined requirements for building and grounds maintenance, HVAC, electrical, housekeeping, safety, security, and administrative functions. CAS FSE JV II LLC was subsequently awarded the $29.8 million single-award IDIQ contract, under which it has received numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders for specific facility improvement projects, equipment replacements, and ongoing operations and maintenance tasks.
