Abcd Geotechnical-Jv, LLC

Abcd Geotechnical-JV, LLC, a joint venture woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, provides geotechnical exploration, materials testing, and environmental engineering services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive delivery orders. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership specializing in geotechnical investigation, concrete and asphalt materials evaluation, environmental investigation and engineering, and unmanned aerial system photography in support of USACE civil works projects.

Abcd Geotechnical-JV holds two indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with USACE: a $20 million single-award small business set-aside IDC with the Nashville, Tennessee area (Rock Island District focus) awarded in November 2023 and extending through October 2028, and a $30 million multiple-award IDIQ for A-E geotechnical services in the lower Mississippi Valley Division and adjacent Gulf Coast Districts awarded to the New Orleans Engineering District in February 2026 with completion through February 2031. All seven prime awards in the source data are delivery orders or IDC vehicles issued by USACE; the firm has no subcontract exposure. Abcd Geotechnical-JV competes under both small business set-asides (the $20 million Nashville IDC) and full-and-open competition (the New Orleans IDIQ and several task orders). Recent representative work includes a $1.59 million modification on the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (Joliet, Illinois) for geotechnical investigation and materials testing, a $238 thousand delivery order for Lock 19 nose pier replacement engineering analysis (Keokuk, Iowa), and a $106.4 thousand firm-fixed-price order for four borings and material sampling at dredged material placement sites (Ottawa, Illinois), all issued under the Nashville IDC.

Customer concentration is narrow and singular: USACE accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value ($51.9 million across seven awards). Activity has accelerated — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — but remains modest in scale. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $1.9 million (4% of combined potential value), reflecting the indefinite nature of the IDCs and the timing of delivery-order drawdowns. One award (the Lock 19 project) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with $106 thousand in potential value, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The firm's capability portfolio centers exclusively on geotechnical and materials testing services for water resource and civil works projects, with all work performed in the upper Mississippi River system (Nashville and Rock Island Districts) and lower Mississippi Valley (New Orleans District).
