CAS FSE JV LLC

CAS FSE JV LLC, a minority-owned, veteran-owned 8(a) small disadvantaged business joint venture based in Powell, Ohio, operates as a facilities operations and maintenance prime contractor delivering building systems repair, infrastructure upgrades, and ground maintenance to civilian federal research agencies and the Army Corps of Engineers. The vendor competes across both 8(a) set-aside and full-and-open categories, with a majority of recent work routed through single-award indefinite-delivery contracts at individual agencies rather than government-wide vehicles.

CAS FSE JV LLC's customer footprint concentrates heavily on USDA facilities. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery accounts for 86 awards (71% of the total award count) valued at $17.1 million combined potential value, anchored by two single-award IDIQs: one for operations and maintenance services at the Russell Research Center and Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia (ceiling $6.9 million, awarded May 1, 2022, ultimate completion October 31, 2023), and a second covering the U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory in Fort Pierce, Florida (ceiling $7.1 million, awarded May 1, 2022, ultimate completion April 30, 2027). Recent work under these vehicles spans HVAC system installation and replacement, boiler and chiller repair, electrical switchgear replacement, fiber optic cabling, plumbing repairs, fire alarm and sprinkler system maintenance, laboratory hood removal and relocation, greenhouse and roof repairs, and asbestos removal. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville ranks second by dollar value (15 awards, $20.6 million combined potential value), driven largely by a $10 million indefinite-delivery contract for maintenance services at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Columbus, Ohio facility. Work under that vehicle includes FY21–FY26 maintenance labor tasks, immediate and emergency needs services, and building operations support ranging from $150 thousand to $1.6 million per task order. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region holds the third largest customer position (10 awards, $11.7 million combined potential value), with a single-award IDIQ (ceiling $6 million, awarded February 1, 2022) for facilities maintenance and repair at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Satellite Operations Facility, generating task orders for pipe leak repairs and cooling tower monitoring equipment installation.

CAS FSE JV LLC's service-contract inventory (SCI) reporting shows minimal federal services activity captured above the $150 thousand threshold: a single SCI record in FY2022 generated $667 thousand in invoiced revenue across 0.5 FTEs at a government-paid hourly rate of $629.22/hr. This narrow SCI footprint reflects that most of the vendor's federal work—121 awards totaling $49.6 million in potential value—flows through delivery orders against facilities maintenance IDIQs that are individually tracked rather than rolled into SCI's enterprise-level labor reporting. The vendor performs 100% of work with its own labor; no subcontractors appear in the award portfolio. Activity trended upward from 42 awards in 2022 and 44 in 2023 before declining sharply to 14 awards in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 through August, suggesting a maturation phase on existing contracts or a shift toward higher-ceiling task orders. The recompete cliff shows two awards (combined potential value $31 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months, with the two large USDA Georgia and Florida IDIQs and the DFAS Columbus contract providing continuity through FY2027. Facility support services dominate the work portfolio (104 awards), with secondary capacity in specialty trade contracting (16 awards) spanning mechanical, electrical, and structural trades. The vendor's competitive posture emphasizes 8(a) sole-source positioning on agency-specific IDIQs and full-and-open competition on delivery order execution against those vehicles.
