E.k. Management, L.L.C.

E.K. Management, L.L.C. (doing business as EK Management LLC) is a woman-owned, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, that delivers military base facilities construction, infrastructure repair, and HVAC maintenance services as a prime contractor exclusively under 8(a) set-asides. The company holds SBA 8(a) Program Participant certification (expiring July 10, 2030) and Women-Owned Small Business designation, and operates as a for-profit limited liability company.

E.K. Management's capability portfolio centers on design-build projects, boundary fence construction and repair, HVAC installation and maintenance, mechanical equipment servicing, and building systems infrastructure correction at military installations. Representative work includes a $3.08 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract awarded June 2026 by Air Force Materiel Command for boundary fence construction at Eglin AFB with completion scheduled for March 2027; a $1.99 million 8(a) Sole Source contract from Air Force Materiel Command (May 2025) for boundary fence repair, also at Eglin; and a $2.021 million 8(a) Sole Source contract from Air Force Materiel Command (October 2024) for hoist and crane inspection, certification, and repair services at Eglin. Additional recent work includes a $1.1 million 8(a) Sole Source contract from Army Special Operations Command (October 2024) to replace outside air handlers at Eglin, a $1.79 million Competitive 8(a) purchase order from Air Force Special Operations Command (June 2026) for maintenance and repairs of overhead rollup doors and electric vehicle gates at Hurlburt Field, and a $620 thousand 8(a) Sole Source design-build contract from the U.S. Coast Guard (September 2024) for on-site sewage treatment and disposal system replacement at a Destin, Florida facility.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, which accounts for 70% of awards (7 out of 10) and 78% of combined potential value ($12.5 million out of $16 million). The remaining three awards split among Air Force Special Operations Command ($1.8 million), Army Special Operations Command ($1.1 million), and the U.S. Coast Guard ($620 thousand). All ten awards are prime contracts with no subcontractor footprint in the source data; E.K. Management operates as a direct prime with no disclosed teaming relationships.

Award activity has grown since 2022 — one award in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 (as of June). One award, valued at $3.08 million, carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. The company's recent work splits across commercial and institutional building construction (5 awards), equipment repair and maintenance (2 awards), water and sewer line construction (1 award), HVAC contracting (1 award), and site preparation (1 award). All ten awards are firm fixed-price definitive contracts awarded at Eglin AFB, Coast Guard facilities in the Destin area, Hurlburt Field, or other Florida-based military installations. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides, with 80% of recent awards (8 of 10) designated 8(a) Sole Source and 10% Competitive 8(a), reflecting a specialized posture in the woman-owned small business 8(a) market segment for military base facilities work.
