Gunco. L.L.C.

Gunco. L.L.C., doing business as Gunco LLC, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and SBA 8(a) certified contractor based in Sulphur, Louisiana, that delivers pavement, drainage, infrastructure repair, and facilities maintenance services to the Department of Defense and the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor. The vendor is minority-owned and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; all forty-eight awards in the source are prime contracts, with zero subcontract activity, positioning Gunco as a direct service provider rather than a feeder to larger primes.

Gunco's customer concentration is heavily weighted to a single military customer. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region accounts for 26 awards (54% of the portfolio) carrying $81.5 million in combined potential value — 61% of the vendor's total. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District contributes a second major IDC worth $45 million. The remaining three customers — the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 16, and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard — split $6.9 million across sixteen awards. The two largest customers by dollar value are also the two largest by award count, indicating consistent ordering patterns across both volume and value.

Gunco operates primarily under two parent indefinite delivery vehicles. The Department of Defense Southwest Region issued a $59.1 million single-award IDC on April 29, 2024, under Competitive 8(a), covering pavement, infrastructure, and drainage repair and construction at Fort Johnson and subordinate military locations through April 28, 2029. This vehicle has generated nineteen task orders worth $10.4 million in combined potential value. The Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District issued a $45 million multiple-award IDC on April 5, 2024, also under Competitive 8(a), for miscellaneous repairs across six states (Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois); one task order of $2,500 has been issued. Concrete representative work includes a $2.19 million Competitive 8(a) paving and drainage delivery order for Fort Johnson South, Louisiana, awarded February 2, 2026, completion November 18, 2026; a $3.44 million 8(a) sole-source fire suppression system repair at Fort Johnson awarded September 27, 2024; a $1.79 million airstrip road repair delivery order issued July 31, 2024; a $939 thousand 8(a) sole-source installation of a model road pavement for the Engineer Research and Development Center at Vicksburg, Mississippi, awarded August 27, 2024; and a $1.25 million SDVOSB sole-source 500-ton chiller rental for Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 in Pineville, Louisiana, awarded March 3, 2025, completion March 2, 2027.

Award activity accelerated sharply: five awards in 2022, three in 2023, seventeen in 2024, and fourteen in 2025. Three awards (combined potential value $3.8 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The portfolio spans primarily highway, street, and bridge construction (twenty awards, NAICS 237310); plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (six awards); and asphalt paving and site preparation work (nine awards combined). Work is performed at Fort Johnson South and subordinate locations within the Department of Defense Southwest Region, plus six-state coverage across the Memphis District of the Army Corps of Engineers, and one-off locations in Vicksburg, Mississippi and Belle Chasse, Louisiana.

SCI reporting captures only one contract above the $150,000 threshold, a definitive contract in FY2024 yielding $1.2 million in invoiced revenue and 0.1 FTEs. The hourly-rate posture is flat at roughly $5,010 per hour on the single SCI record. This limited SCI footprint reflects Gunco's model as a construction and infrastructure prime delivering goods and fixed-price services rather than labor-hour or time-and-materials federal services. The vendor engages no named subcontractors in the award portfolio except for Tanner Heavy Equipment Co., L.L.C., a woman-owned small business and HUBZone firm, performing multi-use trail repair on one Fort Polk project in 2025. Gunco competes predominantly under 8(a) set-aside designations — Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source — across its prime footprint; three orders carry no set-aside designation, indicating some full-and-open competitive work alongside set-aside ordering.
