Earle Kinlaw & Associates, Inc.

Earle Kinlaw & Associates, Inc., doing business as E K A, a Monroe, Georgia-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, supplies specialized vehicles and grounds maintenance equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and as the holder of a $3.44 million Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract. The company operates predominantly under the full-and-open category, with roughly 58% of recent awards carrying total small business set-asides, positioning E K A as a certified small business supplier to the federal government.

E K A's core capability is the supply and delivery of commercial and specialized construction equipment—Club Car golf carts, skid steers, backhoes, compact track loaders, zero-turn mowers, telehandlers, excavators, forklifts, and related grounds maintenance and material-handling machinery. Representative work includes a $534.5 million delivery order from the Pacific Region Department of Defense for 30 golf carts (August 2025), a $649.4 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract from FEMA to deliver an 8,000-pound forklift to Selma, Alabama (September 2023), and a $315.8 million delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command for Club Car golf carts under the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex IDC (August 2024). E K A also holds a foundational $3.44 million single-award IDC with Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (awarded September 27, 2023; completion September 26, 2028) that commits the company to deliver approximately 22 Club Car golf carts annually to Warner Robins, with multiple task orders issued at values ranging from $43 thousand to $315.8 million.

Customer concentration is moderate and dispersed across 269 distinct federal agencies, though GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates by dollar value. The top five customers by potential value account for 48% of combined potential value: GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads with 49 awards worth $93.7 million; Department of the Air Force Materiel Command holds 30 awards worth $4.3 million; Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region carries 28 awards worth $2.9 million; United States Marine Corps accounts for 31 awards worth $2.3 million; and Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region represents 53 awards worth $2.3 million. By count alone, Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (78 awards, $1.4 million) and Department of the Army (64 awards, $2.3 million) lead, but these smaller individual order values are eclipsed by the GSA Schedule's concentrated large-dollar delivery orders.

E K A's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where 1,036 task orders carry $67.2 million in combined potential value. The company also maintains a Hardware Superstore vehicle with 333 task orders worth $9.5 million, plus the Air Force IDC (FA857123D0008) with 21 task orders worth $2.3 million and a second Air Force IDC (FA857118D0001) with 11 task orders worth $3 million. These vehicles allow E K A to issue delivery orders across dozens of civilian and defense agencies without repeated competitive procurement, streamlining access to pre-negotiated pricing.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years, averaging 68 awards annually (2022–2026), with 1,760 total awards in the source portfolio spanning from 1988 to October 2026. Recent annual counts show 93 awards in 2022, declining to 49 in 2025 and 52 through September 2026, suggesting modest contraction but sustained market presence. Thirty-four awards worth $3.7 million combined face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure for E K A but limited pipeline cliff risk given the diversified, repetitive nature of golf-cart and grounds-equipment procurement across federal installation networks.

E K A's subcontractor footprint is minimal: the vendor appears as a sub-award on only two contracts—a Los Alamos National Laboratory hydro excavation trailer sub-award under Triad National Security (March 2025) and an MIT Lincoln Laboratory vehicles research-and-development sub-award under Mantech MGS (June 2024)—reflecting E K A's strategic posture as a prime supplier rather than a sub-tier vendor. The company's capability concentration in specialized vehicles and light construction equipment (NAICS 333112 Construction Machinery Manufacturing, 333120 Industrial Truck and Tractor Manufacturing, and PSC codes for earth-moving equipment, tractors, and passenger vehicles) positions it as a commodity supplier rather than a systems integrator, limiting sub-tier exposure.

Set-aside posture shows consistent small business eligibility: 58% of recent awards are set aside for total small business, with the remainder issued full-and-open. The $3.44 million Air Force IDC itself carries a small business set-aside designation, anchoring a stable recurring revenue stream that has supported continuous delivery-order issuance since award. This set-aside concentration reflects E K A's strategic market positioning in the small business equipment supply segment rather than large-scale system development or integration.
