Kevin Cascio

Kevin Cascio, a sole proprietorship based in Lancaster, New York, provides background investigation, field investigation, and personnel security support services to federal agencies entirely as a prime contractor. Cascio operates under NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services) and competes full-and-open — none of the recent awards carry small-business set-asides, though the underlying ATF Basic Ordering Agreement was designated a 100% small business set-aside in the solicitation.

Cascio's customer concentration is tight and stable across five agencies. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives dominates the footprint with 11 awards and $717 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security (3 awards, $700 thousand), the Peace Corps (7 awards, $652 thousand), and two smaller programs within the U.S. Agency for International Development totaling $399 thousand. These five agencies account for 100% of recent awards. The two rankings diverge slightly — ATF leads in volume while DS carries the largest single IDV at $700 thousand — but the concentration remains consistent.

Cascio holds three active IDVs: a $600 thousand Basic Ordering Agreement with ATF for field and background-investigative services nationwide running through July 2030; a $700 thousand single-award BPA with the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security for background investigative services supporting personnel security and suitability determinations through January 2030; and a $116.625 thousand single-award BPA with the Peace Corps for background investigation support and volunteer screening through November 2028. Representative work includes a $21.797 thousand ATF delivery order issued August 1, 2025, for additional investigative orders under the ATF BOA; a $12 thousand Peace Corps BPA call issued July 22, 2026, for background checks and field investigations; and a $700 thousand DS BPA supporting law enforcement operations and personnel security functions.

Activity has been sparse and irregular — one award in 2021, one in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only $152 thousand obligated against $2.5 million in combined potential value, indicating small task orders placed against larger vehicle ceilings. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $34 thousand and face recompete risk in that window. Cascio operates without subcontract relationships; all 24 awards are prime positions. The vendor's entire footprint is investigative services — no IT, consulting, logistics, or other diversification appears in the award record.
