AEC Emersion Joint Venture

AEC Emersion Joint Venture, a small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American owned architectural-engineering partnership based in Columbus, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor on federal design, renovation, and facility management projects across military installations and federal research centers, with 100% of its recent award footprint consisting of prime contracts and two large indefinite-delivery vehicles totaling $489.5 million in ceiling value.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on architectural and engineering design services, facility technical assessments, HVAC and electrical systems repair, fire suppression system upgrades, and construction support for military infrastructure. Representative recent work includes a $1.118 million total small business delivery order from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (ENDIST Louisville) for architectural and engineering design related to an addition and alteration of the Fire Department building at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, with completion scheduled for December 27, 2028; a $1.03 million non-set-aside task order from the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District for full facility technical assessments at United States Army Reserve Centers located at Fort Eustis, Virginia, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, completed September 30, 2026; and a $284,234 total small business definitive contract from Air Combat Command for fire suppression and fire alarm system replacement in Building 580 at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota.

The vendor holds two recently awarded indefinite-delivery contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District: a $249.5 million total small business IDC for Enterprise A-E Midwest Region services (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2036) and a $240 million non-set-aside Army Reserve facility design IDIQ (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030). These two vehicles alone represent $489.5 million in combined ceiling value and reflect the vendor's established position in military infrastructure modernization. Customer concentration is extreme: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville accounts for 59 awards and $322.3 million of combined potential value (49% of the total $655.8 million portfolio), while the newly awarded Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Campbell contract (the Enterprise A-E Midwest Region IDC) adds $249.5 million in a single award. NASA Glenn Research Center represents the second-largest customer by award count with 42 awards valued at $47.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (29 awards, $18.9 million). The vendor competes under total small business set-aside on roughly 45% of named awards; the remainder are full-and-open. Beyond the recent IDIQ awards, activity has declined: eight awards in 2022 through only four in 2026 year-to-date. Only two awards (combined potential value $2.1 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's award footprint is categorized primarily as Architectural Services (127 awards) and Engineering Services (47 awards), with work performed at military installations nationwide including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Maxwell Air Force Base, Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, and Minneapolis-St. Paul Air Reserve Base, as well as at NASA Glenn and federal medical centers.
