KOO LLC

KOO LLC, a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Chicago, Illinois, delivers architectural and engineering design services for federal facility renovation, modernization, and infrastructure assessment projects as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) primarily under GSA Region 5 indefinite delivery vehicles serving civilian agencies across the five-state Midwest region.

KOO LLC is an Illinois-based limited liability partnership organized as a for-profit entity with multiple SBA certifications: 8(a) Business Development Program participant (self-certified), small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business, and Asian-Pacific American-owned. The vendor's federal footprint sits almost entirely within GSA Region 5's architectural and engineering services procurement, where KOO operates as a firm-fixed-price designer for federal building systems, facility upgrades, renovation design, and specialized assessments (structural integrity studies, material degradation analysis, security hardening assessments, building systems modernization). Representative work includes a $615 thousand design award from the Executive Office for Immigration Review for EOIR facility buildout in Indianapolis, Indiana (awarded February 2022, completion extended to February 2025); a $220.5 thousand GSA Region 5 delivery order for exterior perimeter lighting upgrades and post-construction services at the Stanley J. Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Illinois (awarded June 2023, extends through November 2027); a $178 thousand Social Security Administration order for buildout and renovation design of the Second Injury Branch office at the John F. Seiberling Federal Building in Akron, Ohio (awarded February 2023); and recurring courthouse work for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, including a $223 thousand Birch Bayh U.S. Courthouse renovation design order in Indianapolis (awarded January 2024, completion December 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5 accounts for 78 awards and $71.5 million combined potential value across 88% of KOO's recent award count. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts follows with 14 awards and $800 thousand in potential value. All other federal agencies (U.S. Marshals Service, Social Security Administration, Executive Office for Immigration Review, EPA Region 5, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Defense Contract Management Agency, USCIS) account for fewer than three awards each. The potential-value ranking tracks the award-count ranking; GSA Region 5 dominates both metrics.

KOO operates exclusively under two parent GSA Region 5 vehicles: the GSA Region 5 Supplemental Architect and Engineering Services IDIQ 2020-2025 ($50 million ceiling, active through 2025), which carries 28 task orders worth $2.5 million combined potential value, and the earlier PBS Region 5 Architectural Engineering Services 2016-2021 vehicle, which carries 37 task orders (though that vehicle has reached its term ceiling). KOO also holds a direct-award $1.875 million total small business set-aside IDIQ for Chicagoland-area architecture and engineering services (awarded September 27, 2023, completion February 2027), which has issued three recent delivery orders including a $96.6 thousand Smoke Atrium Upgrade at the Federal Building, 536 S Clark Street, Chicago (awarded June 26, 2026, completion December 2027) and a $68.4 thousand plaza repairs order for the Metropolitan Correctional Center (awarded June 25, 2026, completion April 2027).

Activity has trended downward. KOO received 15 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, and 11 in 2024; only one award is recorded in 2025 and two in 2026 year-to-date. Sixteen awards with combined potential value of $1.5 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure concentrated on the GSA Region 5 vehicle base. The combined potential value across all 111 awards sits at $73.8 million, with $7.8 million obligated (11% of ceiling); this ratio reflects the indefinite delivery structure and KOO's position as one of multiple award holders.

Service Contract Inventory reports capture only two SCI-reportable prime contracts (above the $150 thousand threshold) across FY2023–FY2024, with invoiced revenue of $223 thousand total and a contractor workforce of 0.1 FTE in FY2023 ramping to 0.2 FTE in FY2024. These are micro-scale SCI figures that reflect the nature of the work — firm-fixed-price design task orders with short performance windows and small individual ceiling values — not the full scope of KOO's federal services business. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran at a median of $424.76 per hour, with a 10th percentile of $317.19 per hour and a 90th percentile of $532.34 per hour, consistent with mid-tier A/E labor pricing. KOO used no subcontractors on the two SCI-reportable prime records. KOO competes predominantly under small business set-asides (total small business, partial small business) and full-and-open competitive task orders within GSA Region 5's multiple-award vehicle framework.
