Kemron / Arrowhead JV, LLC

Kemron / Arrowhead JV, LLC, operating as Kemron Environmental Services Inc., is an Atlanta-based small business joint venture delivering soil remediation, contaminated sediment removal, vapor extraction, and hazardous waste cleanup services to federal environmental and defense agencies as a prime contractor, with a pipeline anchored to EPA Superfund sites and Army Corps of Engineers environmental restoration projects. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, with recurring small business set-aside designation on EPA work (three of five EPA Region 7 awards carry Total Small Business set-asides; four EPA Region 5 awards similarly set-aside) but does not hold 8(a), HUBZone, or other formal SBA certifications within the source data.

Customer concentration skews sharply toward EPA regional offices and the Army Corps of Engineers. EPA Region 5 dominates by potential value — four delivery orders under the EPA Remedial Acquisition Framework: Remediation Environmental Services (RES) vehicle carry combined potential value of $1.12 billion, or 65% of the vendor's total award footprint. EPA Region 7 and Region 4 add $112.1 million and $65.8 million respectively across seven combined awards. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City holds seven awards (primarily $2,500 minimum-guarantee task orders on two master IDIQs) with combined potential value of $412.9 million, though obligated dollars on those minimum-guarantee orders remain nominal. Across all 19 awards, the vendor has obligated $210 million (12% of combined potential value), indicating early-stage execution on large ceiling contracts.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on soil vapor extraction systems, contaminated sediment remediation, mine waste capping, in-situ thermal remediation, and interim cleanup actions at Superfund and Defense Environmental Restoration Program sites. Representative work includes a $99.9 million firm fixed-price delivery order from EPA Region 5 for environmental remediation at the Southside Chattanooga Lead Site in Tennessee (awarded April 2026, due March 2027); a $50.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from EPA Region 4 for soil vapor extraction at the Velsicol North Disposal Area in Tennessee (awarded May 2023, ramping from 1.1 FTEs in FY2023 to 12.9 FTEs in FY2024 with five named subcontractors performing 33% of hours); and a $25.8 million firm fixed-price delivery order from EPA Region 7 for remedial construction and removal activities in Wichita, Kansas (awarded September 2024).

All 19 awards sit as task orders under two parent vehicles: the EPA Remedial Acquisition Framework: Remediation Environmental Services (RES), a governmentwide EPA master contract supporting ten task orders with $290.4 million combined potential value; and the USACE MEGA Small Business PRAC 2021-2026 and Small Business Environmental Remediation Services 2022-2027 IDIQs under Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City, supporting four task orders with combined potential value below $10 million in realized obligations.

Activity has accelerated in recent years — one award in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2026 — but faces material recompete exposure. Five awards with combined potential value of $158.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, including the April 2026 Southside Chattanooga task order (due March 2027) and the June 2024 Cherokee County Superfund Site award (due September 2028, already in execution phase).

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a subset of the vendor's total federal activity, excluding goods and contracts below $150,000), Kemron / Arrowhead JV reported $5.9 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, growing from $515 thousand on 2.1 FTEs in FY2022 to $2.7 million on 10.1 FTEs in FY2024. The SCI dataset shows the vendor self-performing the majority of work — on prime contracts captured in SCI, subcontractors performed approximately 11% of contractor hours, with nine named subs across eight prime records. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ranged from $60.64/hr at the tenth percentile to a median of $146.60/hr (reflecting blended prime and subcontractor labor), with senior labor pricing through $217.58/hr at the ninety-percentile.
