Athco Acquisition Corp

Athco Acquisition Corp, based in Lenexa, Kansas, operates as a small-business prime contractor and sub-recipient on federal playground equipment and recreational installation projects. The company's federal footprint comprises three awards over the past two years — one prime contract and two grant sub-awards — totaling $177 thousand in combined potential value, though obligated dollars across all awards ($759 thousand) reflect actual invoicing significantly above the ceiling values on hand.

Athco's sole identified customer agency is the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, which accounts for 100% of the company's potential-value exposure and serves as the contracting office on Athco's only prime contract. That contract, awarded September 9, 2024, is a firm-fixed-price purchase order to design and install playground equipment at the Harry S. Truman Lake Project in Warsaw, Missouri — a $176,887 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order carrying a completion date of March 31, 2025. The contract includes a base CLIN and two option CLINs to deliver a 10-foot tower with slides and climbing features, a 3-bay swing set, and a stand-alone climber, with installation services. Athco holds no named parent vehicles, GWACs, or IDIQs; awards to date are direct purchase orders and grant sub-awards rather than task-order activity.

In its sub-recipient capacity, Athco has performed design and installation work on playground equipment at the City of Overland Park's Maple Hills Park (awarded August 8, 2024) and a splash pad installation at Clifton Park (awarded August 2, 2023), both under federal grant sub-awards. The vendor's NAICS profile centers on Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing with a corresponding PSC code in Athletic and Sporting Equipment. Activity is minimal and recent — two awards in 2024 and one in 2023 — with no parent vehicle pipeline and a single recompete exposure in March 2025 when the USACE Harry S. Truman Lake playground contract completes.
