Kenall-Metro CD JV

Kenall-Metro CD JV, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and small business joint venture based in Dublin, Ohio, delivers architectural and engineering design services to the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The company operates exclusively in the prime role (100% of recent awards) and competes set-aside rather than full-and-open, with all three awards captured under Total Small Business designations.

Kenall-Metro CD JV's customer base is concentrated within a single federal customer. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (parent entity) accounts for 100% of awards by value, anchored by a $45 million indefinite-delivery contract awarded June 14, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of June 14, 2029. The Engineering District Louisville (a Corps of Engineers subordinate) has issued two task orders against that IDIQ: a $3.251 million delivery order on September 9, 2025, for architectural and engineering services to finalize design, plans, and specifications for a fire station addition at Fort Knox, Kentucky (ultimate completion December 3, 2028); and a $627,189 delivery order on June 23, 2026, for fire protection system evaluation at ten Rock Island Arsenal facilities in Illinois (ultimate completion December 31, 2027). The IDIQ covers architectural and engineering design services for district-wide Army, Air Force, and civil works projects, including ERCIP and IIS initiatives and other military and non-military facilities primarily within the Louisville District mission boundaries.

Activity has remained steady at one award per year since 2024. One award (the Rock Island Arsenal fire protection evaluation, $627 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete exposure in that window. Combined potential value across all three awards stands at $48.9 million, though only $1.9 million (4% of potential value) has been obligated to date, indicating early-stage performance on the IDIQ platform. All work falls under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC A-E (Architect and Engineering).
