CAS FSE JV II LLC

CAS FSE JV II LLC, a minority-owned and veteran-owned SBA 8(a) certified joint venture based in Columbus, Ohio, delivers facilities support, engineering, operations, and maintenance services to federal research and administrative centers as a prime contractor under competitive and sole-source 8(a) set-asides. The company competes exclusively within 8(a) vehicles and maintains 100 percent prime positioning across its recent footprint.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward USDA Agricultural Research Service. The top five agencies account for 98 percent of awards: USDA ARS Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery leads with 112 awards totaling $51.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with one major award of $44.7 million for operations and maintenance services at National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health facilities in Pittsburgh, Morgantown, Cincinnati, and Spokane. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ranks third with eight awards worth $14.4 million; the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region with five awards worth $12.2 million; and USDA ARS Central Program Planning Coordination and Support with one $5.7 million delivery order for National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility operations and maintenance staff support in Manhattan, Kansas. The dollar concentration diverges sharply from award count: the CDC contract alone represents one award but 35 percent of total potential value, whereas USDA ARS Field Research Implementation dominates by volume (112 awards, 85 delivery orders under parent IDIQ 12405B24D0001) with a more distributed per-order magnitude averaging roughly $240 thousand.

CAS FSE JV II LLC sits on four major parent vehicles. The $30.8 million USDA ARS competitive 8(a) single-award indefinite delivery contract for operations and maintenance support at the National Poultry Research Center in Athens, Georgia (ultimate completion October 31, 2028) anchors 93 delivery orders totaling $22 million combined potential value—the overwhelming majority of discretionary work. The vendor was awarded a competitive 8(a) multiple-award position on the OASIS+ SBA-Certified 8(a) Small Business Multiple Agency Contract (January 8, 2026 through January 7, 2031) with government-wide ordering authority. A $4.5 million Defense Logistics Agency 8(a) sole-source mechanical IDIQ (July 28, 2024 through March 29, 2027) for HVAC repairs, fire suppression maintenance, and hot water system replacements at Defense Supply Center Columbus has generated five delivery orders totaling $1.9 million to date. A $5.6 million National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 8(a) sole-source IDV for commercial facility management services at NOAA's Satellite Operations Facility in the National Capital Region (February 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026) has produced discrete delivery orders for electrical equipment replacements and chiller retrofits.

Concrete representative work includes a $44.7 million competitive 8(a) definitive contract with CDC for operations and maintenance services at NIOSH facilities across four campuses (Pittsburgh, Morgantown, Cincinnati, Spokane) on a time-and-materials basis through October 2029; a $1.82 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with USDA ARS for repair and reconstruction of the photoperiod house at the Sugarcane Field Station in Canal Point, Florida (awarded January 17, 2024); a $7.73 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with Defense Logistics Agency for electrical equipment maintenance services at Defense Supply Center Columbus (awarded September 13, 2024, ultimate completion September 12, 2027); a $1.29 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with USDA ARS for repair of reservoir cover and installation of filtration system at the U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory in Fort Pierce, Florida (awarded September 27, 2023); and a $633,997.50 8(a) sole-source delivery order with Department of Defense Land and Maritime for Building 2 hot water system replacement at Columbus, Ohio (awarded September 25, 2025, completion September 26, 2028). Under the USDA ARS National Poultry Research Center parent IDIQ, representative work spans routine operations and maintenance ($4.7 million first option year, $4.95 million second option year), emergency asbestos abatement and pipe reinsulation, HVAC system replacements and repairs (chiller maintenance, heat pump replacement, cooling tower installation), electrical installations and lighting upgrades, building renovations including flooring and wall sealing, network infrastructure deployment, fire suppression system repairs, and specialized equipment maintenance.

Activity has grown substantially. Awards per year tracked 17 in 2023, 70 in 2024, 33 in 2025, and 12 in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting the expansion of delivery order volume under the USDA parent IDIQ and maturation of new agency relationships. Eight awards totaling $20.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The vendor's 50 percent obligation rate ($64 million obligated against $129 million combined potential value) indicates substantial draw-down of task-order capacity, particularly under the high-velocity USDA ARS National Poultry Research Center contract.

Capability portfolio concentrates on facilities support and maintenance services (107 awards in that NAICS category), with secondary work in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (14 awards) and building construction (3 awards). Primary Service Code 95 (Maintenance of Laboratories and Clinics) dominates with 95 awards, reflecting the concentration of work at USDA research facilities and CDC installations. The vendor brings demonstrated expertise in HVAC system maintenance and replacement, electrical installations and upgrades, asbestos abatement, building renovations, fire suppression system repairs, network infrastructure deployment, security system enhancements, and specialized equipment maintenance across agricultural research centers, occupational safety and health facilities, and defense installations.
