Brannon Contracting & Maintenance Services, LLC

Brannon Contracting & Maintenance Services, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Zanesville, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor providing grounds maintenance, civil infrastructure repair, and small construction services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under total small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The company is structured as a limited liability company and holds concurrent SBA certifications as a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), both expiring February 23, 2028, and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. Brannon competes almost exclusively under set-aside vehicles, with the bulk of recent awards designated total small business set-asides; full-and-open awards represent task orders drawn against parent IDIQs already held under set-aside.

Brannon's portfolio concentrates on routine grounds maintenance and recurring civil works repair across water resource management facilities. Primary work spans mowing, landscaping, vegetation management, herbicide spraying, janitorial and cleaning services, and minor infrastructure maintenance (concrete spalling repair, parking lot paving, fence and gate installation, erosion control, drift removal). Representative recent work includes a $4.775 million Cordell Hull Bluff Phase 2 Construction Contract in Carthage, Tennessee (completion September 2026) under the Design Bid Build Land for LRD River Districts IDIQ; a $705,730.75 Somerdale Levee hardpiping project in Ohio (completion November 2025) under total small business set-aside; a $1.638 million toe drain replacement delivery order at Haysi, Virginia (completion March 2027); and a $1.725 million Fishtrap Sinkhole and Bank Erosion remediation in Kentucky (completion November 2025). Routine mowing and maintenance task orders—the volume backbone—typically range from $20 thousand to $240 thousand per order at facilities including Dillon Lake, Tom Jenkins Dam, Delaware Lake, Deer Creek Lake, Alum Creek Lake, and Lower Tuscarawas projects across Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee.

The Army Corps of Engineers represents 98% of awards by count (191 total awards) and 100% of combined potential value ($132.4 million). Within that, the Huntington District anchors the portfolio: 172 awards and $103 million potential value. The Louisville District accounts for 15 awards and $1.4 million. The Department of the Army (non-Corps) has placed one award ($4.8 million for Cordell Hull Bluff Phase 2). The portfolio is heavily concentrated in landscaping services (248 awards by NAICS 561730) and housekeeping-landscaping/groundskeeping work (231 awards by PSC S208).

Brannon holds or is positioned on multiple active IDIQs with the Corps. Single-award contracts include a $2.4 million Lower Tuscarawas mowing and maintenance IDIQ through December 2030 (total small business set-aside, awarded February 2026); a $1.35 million Dillon Lake and Tom Jenkins Dam mowing and maintenance IDIQ through December 2028 (total small business set-aside, awarded February 2024); an $865,000 Deer Creek Lake mowing and cleaning IDIQ through December 2027 (total small business set-aside, awarded October 2022); a $550,000 Alum Creek Lake mowing and maintenance IDIQ through December 2031 (total small business set-aside, awarded January 2026); and a $430,000 Delaware Lake mowing and cleaning IDIQ through December 2030 (total small business set-aside, awarded January 2026). The company also sits on a $98 million multiple-award Design Bid Build Land for LRD River Districts IDIQ through December 2027 (no set-aside, awarded December 2022), where it has drawn six task orders totaling $12.2 million since award, and a $90 million multiple-award Various Small Construction Projects IDIQ through July 2027 (total small business set-aside, awarded July 2022), where it has received numerous smaller task orders for infrastructure repair and remediation across multiple Corps districts. Two new Blanket Purchase Agreements were awarded June 2026—one for $1.5 million in mowing services for Lower Ohio River Lock and Dam projects (single-award, no set-aside, through May 2031) and one for $1.3 million for Upper Ohio River Locks and Dam projects (single-award, no set-aside, through May 2031). The top five parent vehicles by task order count are single-award Lower Tuscarawas maintenance and cleaning contracts (58 orders, $1 million), Lower Tuscarawas mowing and maintenance IDIQs (41 orders, $675 thousand), Deer Creek Lake cleaning contracts (25 orders, $740 thousand), Delaware Lake cleaning contracts (24 orders, $709 thousand), and a Lower Tuscarawas cleaning contract (20 orders, $487 thousand).

Activity has remained steady but shows a modest decline: 33 awards in 2022, declining to 17 in 2026. Of the 389 total awards in the source, nine awards with combined potential value of $3.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. Brannon has no documented subcontract footprint; all 389 awards reflect prime contractor status. The vendor's posture is characteristically small-business-set-aside focused, with the highest-dollar work (the two multi-million Design Bid Build and small construction MATOCs) carrying no set-aside but benefiting from Brannon's VOSB/SDVOSB status in evaluation. SAM.gov registration dates to December 2014, indicating twelve years of federal contracting engagement focused on a single customer—the Corps of Engineers—across a narrow geographic cluster in the Ohio River Valley and Great Lakes regions.
