KCG Engineering Group, Inc.

KCG Engineering Group, Inc., doing business as Klett Consulting Group Inc., is a veteran-owned small business based in Chesapeake, Virginia, that delivers Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development, maritime operations support, systems engineering, and professional analysis services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on Navy-specific vehicles and as a subcontractor to large defense integrators. The firm competes full-and-open, without set-aside designations on most prime work, though it holds a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) designation and seats on multiple Navy indefinite delivery contracts.

KCG's customer footprint concentrates heavily on Navy commands. The top five customers account for 74% of recent awards by count but the distribution by dollar value diverges sharply: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio with a single award carrying a $10 billion combined potential value, while the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) leads by award frequency with 49 awards worth $122 million combined potential value. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters contributes one award valued at $1 billion. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command and Naval Air Systems Command round out the active customer base. This split reflects KCG's dual positioning: a high-frequency task-order vendor on Navy operational planning contracts and a position holder on major strategic systems development vehicles.

KCG holds three primary federal contract vehicles. A $4.19 million Navy-specific indefinite delivery contract with Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) dedicated to CONOPS and strategic planning has generated 35 task orders worth $3.2 million combined potential value and carries SDVOSB set-aside designation. The firm seats on the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) IDIQ under which it has placed six task orders worth $37.7 million combined potential value, including a $2.89 million delivery order from Fleet Cyber Command for MOC/BMD/TYCOM support services (ultimate completion November 2031) and a $9.1 million delivery order from Fleet Forces Command for Navy Lessons Learned Program Support Services (ultimate completion February 2030). KCG recently qualified for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency with a $151 billion ceiling and a December 2035 end date; the initial delivery order issued under this vehicle carries a firm fixed-price value of $500. A $1 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract spanning 36 labor categories (hourly rates $38.18–$170.68, education requirements from high school through master's, no security-cleared roles) enables task orders for engineering, systems analysis, and program management support across multiple agencies.

Additional named vehicles include an indefinite delivery contract (N0018921D0006) yielding 35 task orders worth $3.2 million, the COMOPTEVFOR Analytical Support Services vehicle (22 task orders, $7.1 million), the Futures and Concepts Center Mission Support Services vehicle (18 task orders), and an Army indefinite delivery contract (W911S105D0028) generating 14 task orders worth $5.9 million. Representative prime work includes a $1.75 million Air Force Research Laboratory firm fixed-price purchase order (Total Small Business set-aside, ultimate completion June 2026) for development of the Mission Resource Alignment Methodology (MRAM) Automation Tool, and a $166,655 firm fixed-price purchase order from Fleet Cyber Command for Maritime Operations Center Support Services (completion May 2026).

Prime awards represent 82% of KCG's recent portfolio (108 of 131 awards), with a recurring delivery-order posture on Navy CONOPS development — the source identifies dozens of CONOPS-related delivery orders ranging from approximately $40,000 to $455,000 across multiple fiscal years. Work is performed at Norfolk and Suffolk, Virginia, and subordinate locations. Award activity has grown from 2 awards per year in prior periods to a peak of 18 in 2023 and 17 in 2024, with 11 awards in 2025 and 2 awards in 2026 (recent through May); the vendor shows no immediate recompete cliff signal in the source data, though multiple CONOPS task orders under the $4.19 million Navy IDV carry completion dates in 2024–2026 and will face renewal pressure.

KCG operates as a subcontractor primarily to Janus Research Group, LLC (multiple Army support incremental funding modifications spanning 2022–2025), Booz Allen Hamilton (MOC/TYCOM operations support and technology integration work, 2023–2025), and Science Applications International Corporation (MOC training continuum design, 2024). Across SCI-reportable service contracts (FY2022–FY2024), KCG appears as a named subcontractor only, with 13 SCI records capturing roughly 17.0 FTEs in FY2022 and 23.4 FTEs in FY2024 — a 38% growth trajectory on the small subset of federal services work above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. The firm's labor portfolio on GSA reflects mid-to-senior technical roles spanning logistics, systems analysis, command and control specialization, and project engineering, with senior positions priced at $170.68 per hour.
