Baron-Rand JV LLC

Baron-Rand JV LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified joint venture based in Newport News, Virginia, delivers design-build and design-bid-build construction services to the Department of the Navy and NASA as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and holding minority-owned and small disadvantaged business certifications expiring August 17, 2023.

The vendor's portfolio is concentrated in naval facilities construction and modernization across the Mid-Atlantic region. Recent representative work includes a $10.6 million gator support facilities expansion at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (April 2024, Navy Installations Command), a $5.38 million Combatant Craft Maintenance Facility construction also at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (July 2024, Naval Facilities Engineering Command), a $4.32 million fire alarm system replacement at Naval Air Station Oceana (June 2024, Navy Installations Command), and a $4.02 million roof repair at Naval Station Norfolk (February 2025, Navy Installations Command). Place of performance spans Hampton Roads-area installations including Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Naval Air Station Oceana, Naval Submarine Base New London, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and Dam Neck Annex. The vendor also holds task orders with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for HVAC improvements and facility modifications at Wallops Flight Facility.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Navy. Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates the potential-value ranking at $257.6 million across six awards, while Navy Installations Command places six awards valued at $22.3 million combined. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center accounts for four awards totaling $40.7 million in combined potential value, representing the vendor's primary non-Navy customer. The top five customer entities account for 99% of combined potential value across eighteen awards.

Baron-Rand JV LLC holds two primary parent vehicles: the 8(a) Multiple Award Construction Contract Design-Bid-Build Hampton Roads Area IDIQ (a $249 million vehicle through May 16, 2028, with 15 task orders totaling $48.5 million in potential value), and the Wallops Multiple Award Construction II contract with NASA (a $39.4 million IDIQ through February 3, 2027, with three task orders totaling $1.3 million in potential value). Both vehicles are competitively set-aside for 8(a) firms. Individual task orders under the Hampton Roads vehicle range from $5,000 minimum guarantee through $10.67 million, with firm fixed-price structures and completion dates through 2028.

Recent activity shows growth through 2024 — one award in 2022, six in 2023, and eleven in 2024 — before dropping to one award each in 2025 and 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no recorded subcontract activity in the source data. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $555 thousand in FY2025 across 289 FTEs delivered to a single federal contract; the SCI dataset carries no FY2023 or FY2024 invoicing, suggesting these awards represent delivery-order activity not yet or recently invoiced under SCI-reportable thresholds. Work categories concentrate in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with leading PSCs spanning miscellaneous building repair and alteration, airfield structure maintenance, and associated facility work.
