KSM A&E Federal Group, LLC

KSM A&E Federal Group, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in St. Petersburg, Florida, delivers architectural and engineering design, infrastructure assessment, and facility repair services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a 100% prime contractor under SDVOSB sole-source and competitive set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime and competes solely under SDVOSB designations across its recent federal footprint.

The company's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Veterans Health Administration. All six awards since August 2023 flow through Veterans Integrated Service Networks within VHA, with Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (Florida and Puerto Rico) anchoring the largest dollar share at $2.4 million across two awards. VISN 16 (a single $1.6 million steam-system assessment contract, since terminated for convenience) and VISN 7 (two awards totaling $296 thousand for cooling-tower replacement work in Georgia) represent the next tiers of activity; VISN 20 (Pacific Northwest) accounts for $247 thousand. This customer concentration reflects KSM A&E's positioning as a specialized vendor for VHA facility engineering work.

KSM A&E's capability portfolio centers on architectural and engineering assessments and design for VA medical-center infrastructure modernization. Representative work includes a $2.1 million A&E study (VISN 8, awarded October 2023) to assess cast-iron components in high-pressure and medium-pressure steam systems and hot-water distribution systems at nine VA medical centers across Florida and Puerto Rico, with cost estimates for full replacement; a $247 thousand design contract (VISN 20, awarded September 2024) for security camera system modernization at Roseburg VA Medical Center and associated outpatient clinics in Oregon; and a $272 thousand assessment and repair scope (VISN 8, awarded August 2023) for damaged HVAC ductwork at West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. Two additional awards address cooling-tower replacement at VISN 7 facilities.

Recent activity shows two awards in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 (most recent June 2026), with combined potential value of $4.6 million and $4.6 million obligated (99% realization). Two awards carrying combined potential value of $316 thousand are slated for completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. SCI-reported service-contract invoicing in FY2024 totaled $2.2 million across 1.2 FTEs, with government-paid hourly rates spanning a median of $140.94/hr (10th percentile $28.19/hr, 90th percentile $253.69/hr). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 34% of total contractor hours, with two named subs engaged; the vendor's subcontractor engagement supports project delivery rather than indicating a sub-heavy operating model.
