Karcher Group Inc.

Karcher Group Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Chantilly, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) providing audiovisual integration, video teleconferencing systems, display technologies, and installation and maintenance services to the federal government across 213 distinct customer agencies. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation registered in SAM since 2002, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides (roughly 60% of awards carry TSB designation) and full-and-open procurements, with veteran-owned small business status anchoring its positioning across the Marine Corps and Department of Defense enterprise.

Karcher Group's capability portfolio centers on mission-critical audiovisual infrastructure: video teleconferencing equipment procurement, installation, and warranty; conference room and command center AV system upgrades; display wall and large-format display deployment; audiovisual equipment maintenance and break-fix support; and integration of secure SIPRNET/NIPRNET audiovisual solutions for defense installations. Representative prime work includes a $2.2 million delivery order from the Marine Corps for Headquarters Marine Corps audiovisual and video teleconferencing preventative maintenance (awarded August 2024, ultimate completion August 2029) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $359,844 total small business purchase order from the Marine Corps for comprehensive infrastructure renewal and upgrade of the MARFORSOC Network Operator Course Classroom at Camp Lejeune, including network cabinets, fiber optic cabling, and Cisco video teleconferencing equipment (July 2025); and a $410,871 BPA call from Air Combat Command for combined intelligence audiovisual requirements at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base under the GSA 2GIT program (September 2025). Karcher Group also holds a $4.5 million single-award IDIQ with the Marine Corps (awarded July 2024, completion July 2027, TSB set-aside) for audiovisual services support—on-site equipment inspections, maintenance, repair services, and audiovisual system installations across multiple Marine Corps and U.S. Special Operations Command facilities nationwide.

Customer concentration is extreme and Marine Corps–anchored. The top five customer agencies by award count cover 34% of awards; the Marine Corps alone represents 174 awards and $63.4 million in combined potential value. When ranked by potential value, concentration deepens: the Marine Corps anchors the portfolio at $63.4 million across 174 awards, Air Combat Command follows with $3.8 million across 39 awards, Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery contributes $2.2 million across 28 awards, and Air Education and Training Command adds $1.9 million across 22 awards—these four entities account for roughly 55% of total combined potential value. Outside the Marine Corps, Karcher Group's federal footprint is highly fragmented across 213 agencies with small individual award values, indicating a sub-$500 thousand median per non-Marine Corps agency.

Karcher Group places work under five major parent vehicles. The Information Technology Schedule 70 (IT-70) GSA Schedule carries 708 task orders valued at $19.8 million—the single largest vehicle and a government-wide platform. The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) hosts 149 task orders at $30.4 million combined potential value, serving as the operational vehicle for Marine Corps and Air Force AV delivery orders. The company also maintains a Federal Supply Schedule GS03F0021W with 41 task orders ($4.8 million), a Blanket Purchase Agreement M0026410A0026 with 27 task orders ($18.3 million), and Blanket Purchase Agreement M0026411A0007 with 23 task orders ($2.4 million). The 2GIT (Second Generation Information Technology) BPA under GSA MAS recurs throughout the award history as a vehicle for Air Force and defense agency VTC and audiovisual procurements. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (27 awards in 2022 to 32 in 2025), with nine awards reported through April 2026 year-to-date. Only eight awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $1.7 million—minimal recompete exposure relative to the portfolio ceiling.

Service Contract Inventory data capture Karcher Group's SCI-reportable service-contract activity above the $150,000 threshold: FY2024 invoiced revenue of $201 thousand across 0.4 FTEs on a single prime contract (Fish and Wildlife Service conferencing and AV systems support). SCI workforce was negligible (0.6 FTEs in FY2022, 3.2 FTEs in FY2024 across mixed prime and sub roles), reflecting a product-and-installation business model rather than labor-intensive staffed services. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime work ran $253.56 per hour. GSA Schedule labor rates span $116.87 to $237.78 per hour across four categories—project manager, advanced design, advanced program, and direct AV and multimedia services engineering roles—all bachelor's-level with two to five years' experience and no security clearance requirement.

Karcher Group operates as a pure prime contractor across its federal footprint with minimal subcontractor engagement. The sub-award split shows zero subcontract activity in the 1,328 prime awards; named sub awards total five, all routed through Leidos (two recent sub tasks from November 2025 and July 2025 under AFNCR-ITS Services) and two joint-venture primes (RQ-WM Jordan JV and RQ-DPR JV) on Hurricane Florence recovery MILCON audiovisual installation packages from 2023. SCI data confirms zero sub-hours share on prime contracts. Karcher Group delivers its own installation and technical labor rather than subcontracting AV integration work, positioning it as a vertically integrated audiovisual systems integrator and equipment supplier rather than a services prime relying on sub teams. This posture contrasts with typical IT consulting primes that staff project work through subcontractors—Karcher owns the execution pathway for AV infrastructure deployment end-to-end.
