KAU Inc.

KAU Inc., an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in Henrico, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor delivering construction, facilities maintenance, repair, and alteration services to federal agencies. The vendor competes predominantly on full-and-open procurement; while it holds 8(a) certifications and has won awards under 8(a) sole-source and Total Small Business set-asides, the bulk of its recent prime awards (roughly 65% across the portfolio) carry no set-aside designation, indicating mature prime positioning across civilian federal customers.

KAU Inc.'s award footprint spans 339 prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles with a combined potential value of $339.9 million, though only $33.4 million (10% of potential value) has been obligated to date. Activity trajectory shows decline: the vendor earned 32 awards in 2022, declining to 21 in 2023, 19 in 2024, and only 6 awards across 2025 and 2026 combined. This slowdown reflects both the maturation of existing delivery orders and, likely, recompete exposure — four awards carrying $5.7 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months.

Customer concentration is dispersed across 41 agencies but heavily weighted toward facilities and real-property management customers. The top five customers account for 65% of recent award count: the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads by volume (78 awards, $8.4 million potential value), followed by GSA Public Buildings Service Region 3 (46 awards, $34.4 million), Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (38 awards, $20.8 million), the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (35 awards, $1.4 million), and Department of the Navy Installations Command (25 awards, $3.5 million). Potential value concentration diverges from award volume: GSA PBS Region 3 anchors the dollar ranking at $34.4 million across 46 awards, while the Navy commands deliver moderate dollars across high volumes of discrete task orders. The Department of Justice FBI Headquarters Division ($8.1 million across 10 awards) and the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office ($6.1 million across 5 awards) round out the top five by potential value.

KAU Inc.'s vehicle position centers on two primary indefinite delivery contracts. The GSA PBS Region 3 single-award IDC, valued at $4.4 million with an 8(a) sole-source set-aside, is effective through January 30, 2028, and authorizes construction and facilities services across federal properties in Region 3. The Great American Outdoors Act MATOC, a $250 million multiple-award task order contract awarded by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, is effective through June 30, 2027, and covers construction, maintenance, repair, and alteration services on federal lands managed by the Department of the Interior and U.S. Forest Service throughout the continental United States and Hawaii. Recent work under these vehicles includes a $2.29 million delivery order for towpath resurfacing at C & O Canal National Historical Park (September 2026), an $800,725 paving project at Seneca and Pennyfield (September 2026), and a $2.45 million FY2025 towpath resurfacing also at C & O Canal (September 2025). Beyond these two flagships, KAU Inc. holds seats on multiple Navy indefinite delivery contracts — Contracts 47PD0320D0002 (87 task orders, $2.9 million combined value), N4008015D3515 (80 task orders, $2.3 million), and N4008015D3538 (21 task orders, $2.3 million) — that generate steady but modest delivery orders for facilities and maintenance work.

Capability portfolio is straightforward: KAU Inc. delivers commercial and institutional building construction, specialty trade contracting, painting, electrical, and HVAC services. NAICS concentration centers on Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (187 awards), All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (87 awards), Painting and Wall Covering Contractors (16 awards), Electrical Contractors (13 awards), and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (10 awards). Representative work includes a $1.379 million FBI Quantico Complex Wide Project (September 2022) for construction, facilities maintenance, and alterations; a $875,861 Powell Veteran Readiness and Employment Fitout at the Lewis F. Powell Jr. Courthouse for second-floor office renovation (July 2022); a $392,963 Building 36 rear porch project at Harpers Ferry (August 2022) under the Great American Outdoors Act MATOC; a $189,900 fire system update across four buildings at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia (September 2022); and numerous smaller delivery orders for carpet replacement, painting, plaster repair, HVAC replacement, and security upgrades at federal courthouses, office buildings, and military installations across Virginia and beyond.

SCI-reportable service-contract activity is limited and concentrated in the past: KAU Inc. invoiced $3.7 million across 11 SCI-reportable records (all as prime), with $1.5 million in FY2022 and $2.2 million in FY2023, followed by no reportable invoicing in FY2024 and FY2025. FTE trajectory mirrors this decline — 0.3 FTEs in FY2022, rising to 2.2 FTEs in FY2023, then dropping to zero reportable FTEs in FY2024 and FY2025. On the contracts that did report hours, median government-paid rates ran around $386.67 per hour, with senior labor pricing through the 90th percentile at $4,656.53 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed 100% of contractor hours in-house (0% sub-hours share), indicating a build-to-order delivery model rather than a subcontracting-dependent operation. The absence of SCI-reportable activity since FY2023 reflects the shift in KAU Inc.'s portfolio toward firm fixed-price delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts, which may fall below the SCI threshold or may not require labor hour reporting depending on contract structure.

KAU Inc. operates as a pure prime contractor with no sub-award activity in the source data, and across SCI records it performs work with in-house labor rather than through subcontractors. The vendor does not appear as a subcontractor to larger primes in the source material, positioning it as a direct federal contractor rather than a feeder for larger integrators. This profile — sole reliance on prime awards, geographic concentration in Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic, and steady rotation of small-to-moderate delivery orders under GSA and Navy facilities IDCs — characterizes a stable, regionally anchored facilities services incumbent with limited growth trajectory and moderate recompete exposure in the near term.
