Cems-Rs&H JV

Cems-Rs&H JV, a small business joint venture headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, delivers architecture, engineering, design, and construction services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor across military installations in the southeastern United States. The vendor competes on full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles; recent awards split between no set-aside designation (majority) and Total Small Business set-asides.

Cems-Rs&H JV's federal work centers on military facility infrastructure: design-bid-build and design-phase services for building renovation, HVAC studies, facility testing and commissioning, child development centers, fire stations, aircraft hangars, and specialized structures at Army and Air Force bases. Recent representative examples include a $5.4 million delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District for F-35A maintenance and test hangar design and maritime operations relocation at Eglin Air Force Base (awarded June 2024), a $3.98 million design-bid-build access control point package at Anniston Army Depot through July 2026 (January 2024), and a $3.3 million aircraft corrosion control facility and hangar renovation at Robins Air Force Base through November 2027 (May 2022). Recent activity also includes a $211,784 construction-phase delivery order for a CVI gate at Maxwell Air Force Base (April 2026, delivery by September 2028).

Customer concentration is stark: the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 97% of awards across six district-level commands. The Mobile District dominates by dollar value, holding six awards worth $255.5 million combined potential value, driven by a single $249 million Architect and Engineering Services IDIQ for the Military Design and Construction Program. The Savannah District and New York District follow with 10 awards ($57 million combined) and 9 awards ($17.6 million combined), respectively. The vendor holds two primary vehicle positions: a $45 million total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Savannah District (through February 2027) and the $249 million Mobile District IDIQ noted above. The top three vehicles — the Mobile District IDIQ (14 task orders, $21.9 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W912HN22D2003 with Savannah District (9 task orders, $12 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W912DS19D0007 also with Savannah District (9 task orders, $9.7 million) — account for the majority of recent task order work.

Activity surged in 2023 with 16 awards, then contracted sharply in 2024 (4 awards) and 2025 (2 awards), with one award to date in 2026. This trajectory reflects completion of larger multi-year projects and potential recompete exposure: eleven awards worth $22.3 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates on 100% prime awards with no identified subcontractor footprint; combined potential value across all 35 awards stands at $347.6 million, though obligated dollars total only $37.4 million (11% of potential), indicating substantial remaining scope.
