About the company
Kelso-Burnett Co, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, supplies electrical and infrastructure maintenance and repair services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no SBA set-asides across its federal award footprint.
The vendor's customer footprint concentrates almost entirely on the Veterans Health Administration. Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, which operates VA medical centers in the Chicago area, accounts for 8 of 13 total awards (77% of award count, $1.7 million combined potential value). The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region represents a secondary customer with a single $120 thousand award. A third customer, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, holds one award in the source data. Across the vendor's 13 prime awards spanning 2002 to July 2026, combined potential value stands at $2.3 million, with $2.1 million obligated (91% of potential value).
Kelso-Burnett's capability portfolio centers on electrical contracting and building infrastructure work, grounded in concrete recent awards: a $411 thousand purchase order from VISN 12 for electrical repair services at the VA facility in North Chicago (July 2026, ultimate completion August 2026); a $99.4 thousand purchase order for emergency switch breaker repair service at Hines VA Medical Center (November 2025, completion April 2026); and a $112.5 thousand definitive contract for emergent conduit replacement at the FHCC in North Chicago (November 2024, completion December 2024). Top NAICS categories include Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (5 awards), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (2 awards), and Engineering Services (2 awards).
Award activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year across 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with no recompete cliff indicated in the near term. Kelso-Burnett operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the Service Contract Inventory dataset shows no prime-reportable service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold, though the vendor appears in SCI records as a named subcontractor (18 sub records, FY2022–FY2025) with an FTE trajectory of 3.3 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 2.4 FTEs in FY2024, then climbing to 12.7 FTEs in FY2025. The parent company owns a subsidiary, Mechanical Systems, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation also registered for contracts and grants, suggesting a related delivery structure for mechanical infrastructure services.
