K & M Industrial LLC

K & M Industrial LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and 8(a) small disadvantaged business headquartered in Gladstone, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor in maritime equipment repair, vessel maintenance, and specialized industrial services for federal agencies. The vendor is a minority-owned and Native American-owned manufacturer competing predominantly under set-aside vehicles—8(a) sole source, 8(a) competitive, and total small business designations dominate the award portfolio.

K & M Industrial's capability portfolio centers on centrifugal pump inspection, repair, and overhaul; dockside vessel maintenance and repair; tank and bilge cleaning; hydraulic system repairs; and maritime equipment refurbishment to original equipment manufacturer specifications. The vendor holds authorization as the sole U.S. repair facility and exclusive distributor for Carver Pump Company, a relationship that anchors recurring work across Coast Guard cutter fleets. Representative work includes a $1.27 million total-small-business definitive contract with the Coast Guard for dockside repairs to USCGC Marcus Hanna (May 2026), a $671,329 contract for repairs to USCGC William Tate (July 2025), and a $659,206 contract for dockside maintenance on USCGC Katmai Bay (May 2024). Beyond pump and vessel work, K & M recently executed a $91,324 total-small-business contract with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (January 2025) for fish transport tank transfer and retrofit.

Customer concentration is extreme: the U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 172 of 200 prime awards (86% of the portfolio by count) and $61.3 million of $112.7 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers represents the second material customer with four awards totaling $49.9 million in potential value, almost entirely from a $49.5 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement for vessel repair and maintenance at the St. Louis Service Base (awarded May 2022, extending through May 2027). Other agencies—Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Maritime Administration, and Navy—contribute marginal activity. Coast Guard dominance reflects K & M's specialized niche in Carver pump support and dockside repair for cutter fleet maintenance.

K & M holds five named parent vehicles. The most active is Coast Guard Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG4016D31604, which supported 16 task orders valued at $3.1 million combined. A second Coast Guard IDIQ (70Z08519DP3026232) generated 12 task orders ($626 thousand). A recent June 2026 award expanded K & M's Coast Guard portfolio: a $5 million single-award requirements contract (HSCG4016D31604 replacement) for Carver pump unit inspection and repair services through June 2031. K & M also holds a $7.2 million 8(a) sole-source indefinite-delivery contract with the Coast Guard for Carver pump units and maintenance components supporting the WMSL cutter fleet (awarded January 2025, extending through January 2029), which generated four delivery orders in 2025–2026 valued between $608 thousand and $1.29 million each. The $49.5 million Army Corps BPA (Repair and Alteration of Vessels at USACE St. Louis Service Base) remains active through May 2027; recent task orders include a $159,368 call for MPLD docking barge anchor repairs (September 2022).

Activity trajectory shows volatility: 18 awards in 2022 and 15 in 2023, declining to 6 in 2024, then recovering to 15 in 2025 and 9 in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months includes seven awards with combined potential value of $4.4 million reaching ultimate completion, posing renewal risk concentrated in Coast Guard pump and vessel maintenance contracts.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $3.9 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($1.3 million in FY2022, $1.2 million in FY2023, $1.4 million in FY2024), with government-paid median hourly rates around $327.70/hr (10th percentile $266.49/hr, 90th percentile $367.66/hr). The vendor delivered roughly 2.0 FTEs annually across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with zero subcontractor hours share—K & M builds its own delivery teams on SCI-reportable work and does not engage named subs. This SCI view captures only service contracts above the reporting threshold and excludes the vendor's substantial goods procurement activity (pump units, parts, repair kits) and classified or smaller-value work, which together likely constitute the majority of actual federal revenue.

K & M operates 100% as a prime contractor in the recorded portfolio and does not subcontract to other federal primes. The vendor competes entirely under set-aside vehicles—8(a) sole source, 8(a) competitive, and total small business dominate award designations—reflecting its HUBZone and SDB certifications as the primary competitive gates. This set-aside posture, combined with exclusive Carver distributor status, creates a defensible moat in Coast Guard pump and cutter maintenance work but limits exposure to full-and-open federal procurements.
