Guidon-Ses JV LLC

Guidon-Ses JV LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) joint venture based in Indianapolis, Indiana, delivers architectural and engineering services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor, with $301.7 million in combined potential value across thirteen recent awards that are 100% SDVOSB set-aside or unrestricted (no set-aside designation). The company is a child entity of Guidon Design Inc., itself a veteran-owned and SDVOSB-certified Subchapter S corporation, and competes exclusively as a prime — no subcontract activity appears in the recent award footprint.

Guidon-Ses JV LLC's capability portfolio centers on architectural and engineering services for VA medical facility modernization, renovation, and infrastructure upgrades. Representative work includes a $3.29 million definitive contract for Electronic Health Records Modernization infrastructure upgrades design at the Memphis VA Medical Center (awarded June 28, 2022, set-aside SDVOSB), a $2.98 million contract for EHRM infrastructure upgrades at the Nashville VA Medical Center (awarded January 30, 2023, set-aside SDVOSB), and a $1.35 million delivery order for third-floor renovation and GI Lab relocation at the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis (awarded October 15, 2024, set-aside SDVOSB). Services include schematic designs, construction documents, design reviews, cost estimates, technical studies, and construction quality assurance across VA facilities in multiple regions.

Customer concentration is sharply VA-focused. The Department of Veterans Affairs' sub-organizations account for 100% of recent awards across five distinct funding lines: the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering Support Center Huntsville ($249 million, two awards — this agency administers VAAES), VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management ($27.1 million, three awards), VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 ($21.3 million, five awards), VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin ($3.3 million, one award), and VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 ($1 million, two awards). The disparity between award-count and potential-value rankings is extreme: the Engineering Support Center anchors most of the dollar value through a single $249 million multiple-award IDIQ (Veterans Affairs Architect-Engineer Services, or VAAES), while VISN 9 generates the most delivery-order volume.

Guidon-Ses JV LLC holds four active parent vehicles: the $249 million Veterans Affairs Architect-Engineer Services (VAAES) IDIQ awarded January 23, 2025 (1 task order, $3 thousand in orders to date); a $25 million VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management nationwide SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQ for architect-engineer services awarded September 26, 2023 (3 task orders, $2.4 million combined potential value); a $10 million VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQ for architect-engineer services at Nashville, Memphis, Lexington, Mountain Home, and Murfreesboro facilities awarded September 26, 2024 (1 task order, $298 thousand); and a $6.67 million VA VISN 9 SDVOSB-set-aside IDIQ awarded September 27, 2024 (1 task order, $1.3 million). The VAAES vehicle represents the company's largest ceiling but has seen minimal task-order pull to date; the VA CFM and VISN 9 IDIQs drive the active delivery-order pipeline.

Activity has remained moderate across the five-year source window — one award in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in early 2026 — with three awards (combined potential value $8.4 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue shows modest utilization: $474 thousand across 1.2 FTEs in FY2022, $1.5 million across 2.1 FTEs in FY2023, and $1.7 million across 1.7 FTEs in FY2024. On federal service contracts captured in SCI, government-paid median hourly rates ran approximately $348/hr, with senior labor pricing through $454/hr; the vendor self-performed all SCI-reportable hours with no subcontractor engagement. The gap between combined potential value ($301.7 million) and combined dollars obligated ($10.4 million, 3% of ceiling) reflects the VAAES IDIQ's large ceiling against minimal task-order issuance to date, while smaller IDIQs and definitive contracts show stronger pull-through rates on renovation and infrastructure work.
