Guidon-Charlotte Engineers Sdvosb JV LLC

Guidon-Charlotte Engineers SDVOSB JV LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) joint venture headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, delivers architectural and engineering design services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor, operating under 100-percent SDVOSB set-asides across its entire recent award portfolio. The vendor is a child entity of parent Guidon Design Inc., also SDVOSB-certified and veteran-owned, and competes predominantly on VISN-held single-award and multiple-award IDIQs reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.

Guidon-Charlotte's capability portfolio centers on healthcare facility infrastructure A&E services for VA medical centers: design development, construction documentation, construction period services, commissioning, master planning, and third-party reviews. Representative work includes a $1.2 million delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (issued September 2025) for architectural and engineering design services at a Decatur, Georgia VA facility; a $1.65 million definitive contract from VISN 6 (awarded September 2023) for clinical lab-to-operating-room conversion design at Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia, invoiced at $893 thousand across 1.8 FTEs in FY2024; and a $1.565 million firm fixed-price contract from VA Technology Acquisition Center (awarded October 2022) for 20-bed community living center design at Atlanta VA Medical Center, on which the vendor invoiced $497 thousand in FY2023 and $834 thousand in FY2024. Work includes psychiatric renovations, surgical facility enhancements, kitchen modernization, parking lot reconstruction, seismic corrections, and equipment removal.

Customer concentration is complete within the VA system. All 18 recent awards fund VA programs split across four distinct funding entities: Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 holds three awards valued at $300 million combined (a $300 million multiple-award IDIQ for Maryland, D.C., and West Virginia; a $6.25 million single-award IDIQ for Alabama and Georgia operations; and a $2,000 minimum-guarantee delivery order); VISN 7 anchors the portfolio with ten awards totaling $10.6 million; VISN 6 provides three awards worth $3.7 million; and VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin contributes two awards for $3.1 million. The dollar concentration is extreme: the VISN 5 multiple-award IDIQ ceiling of $300 million represents 95% of the combined potential value across all awards, though task-order activity against it remains nascent (two delivery orders totaling $14 thousand through April 2026).

Guidon-Charlotte operates under two primary parent vehicles. The ATL AE IDIQ (single-award, $6.25 million ceiling, VISN 7, awarded August 2023, expiring August 2028) has generated six task orders worth $3.4 million combined through April 2026, including the September 2025 $1.2 million design order and October 2024 $961,358 psychiatric renovation task. The VISN 5 Architecture Engineer 2023–2028 multiple-award IDIQ ($300 million, awarded June 2023, expiring June 2028, reserved for SDVOSB firms across Maryland, D.C., and West Virginia) produced two task orders worth $14 thousand total as of April 2026—a $2,000 minimum-guarantee award in June 2023 and a $12,173.56 structural assessment delivery order in January 2026. Beyond IDIQs, Guidon-Charlotte holds three definitive contracts (single-award, not recurring vehicles) from VISN 6 and VA Technology Acquisition Center.

Activity has contracted from a peak of six awards in 2023 to two in both 2025 and 2026 year-to-date, signaling slowing new task-order generation despite the large VISN 5 IDIQ seat. Ten awards (combined potential value $7.3 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete risk on approximately 41% of its active definitive contract and small-order pipeline. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—100 percent of awards are primes, with no subcontractor positions in the recent portfolio.

Service Contract Inventory reporting (federal services contracts above $150,000) captures $3.7 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, showing growth trajectory: $430 thousand on 0.9 FTEs in FY2022, $1.3 million on 2.7 FTEs in FY2023, and $2 million on 4.2 FTEs in FY2024. The vendor self-performs all work; the SCI dataset shows zero percent average sub-hours share across prime contracts. Government-paid hourly rates derived from SCI invoicing cluster at a median of $196.24 per hour, with a 90th percentile of $250 per hour and a 10th percentile of zero (likely reflecting minimum-guarantee or nominal-value orders). SCI figures represent a strict subset of federal A&E contract revenue and exclude goods, products, and non-federal revenue; the $300 million VISN 5 IDIQ ceiling—a multiple-award vehicle—carries zero dollar obligations recorded in SCI as of the source date, indicating minimal task-order utilization to date despite the large vehicle seat.
