Evergreen JV

Evergreen JV, a women-owned small business joint venture based in San Diego, California, provides architect-engineer services for infrastructure design, assessment, and construction support at Air Force installations as a prime contractor under the AE NEXT IDIQ vehicle. The venture is structured as a partnership or limited liability partnership and is designated a Joint Venture Women Owned Small Business (JWOSB) and Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB); it operates as a child entity of parent Nicklaus Engineering, Inc., a women-owned, economically disadvantaged small business.

Evergreen JV competes exclusively on the Air Force's $2 billion Architect-Engineering Services for Design and Construction Support for the Air Force Construction Program (AE NEXT) IDIQ, a small-business set-aside vehicle managed by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center. All 21 recent awards are delivery orders under AE NEXT, spanning traditional Title I and Title II design services, infrastructure studies, inspection and assessment work, and construction support. Representative work includes a $2.996 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from Air Force Space Command (awarded September 2024) for general infrastructure work, a $893 thousand order from Air Force Materiel Command (April 2025) for backflow and cross-connection survey work on water distribution mains at Warner Robins Air Force Base, a $749 thousand order from Air Force Space Command (September 2025) for South Cape Entry modification including waterline and vehicle parking area reconfiguration at Patrick Space Force Base, a $374 thousand order from Air Force Mobility Command (September 2025) for interior renovation design and environmental survey at Travis Air Force Base, and a $832 thousand order from Air Force Space Command (September 2022) for Phase 1 storm drain evaluation at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Customer concentration is steep and narrowly Air Force focused. Air Force Space Command dominates the portfolio with 9 awards valued at $5.6 million combined potential value (representing 58% of all dollars), followed by Air Education and Training Command (3 awards, $1.1 million), Special Operations Command (2 awards, $979 thousand), and Air Mobility Command (2 awards, $582 thousand). These five customer offices account for 86% of awards and 94% of combined potential value. All eight customer agencies served are Air Force major commands or components. Evergreen JV competes predominantly under the Total Small Business set-aside — 14 of 21 awards carry the set-aside designation, while 7 awards carry no set-aside designation beyond the parent IDIQ's small-business reserve.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, moving from 1 award in 2024 to 8 in 2025. The vendor's combined potential value across all awards is $9.7 million, with $9.4 million obligated (97% realization). Only 3 awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing $720 thousand in combined potential value and limited near-term recompete exposure. Work is performed across multiple Air Force installations including Vandenberg Space Force Base (California), Travis Air Force Base (California), Luke Air Force Base (Arizona), Patrick Space Force Base (Florida), Warner Robins Air Force Base (Georgia), Goodfellow Air Force Base (Texas), Cannon Air Force Base (New Mexico), and Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field (Florida), with administrative oversight from San Diego. The portfolio is entirely architect-engineer services work classified under NAICS Engineering Services, with 13 awards under PSC code A/E General (Landscaping, Interior Layout, Designing) and 8 awards spread across other A/E construction and administrative facility categories.
