About the company

Mill Creek Firelake JV LLC's Mill Creek Division, an SBA 8(a)-certified tribally-owned joint venture based in Holton, Kansas, operates as a prime contractor exclusively, delivering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) construction, renovation, alteration, and repair services to the federal government under total small business and 8(a) set-aside designations. The vendor is a child entity of Prairie Band, LLC, a tribally-owned parent firm, and carries additional certifications as a HUBZone firm, Native American Owned business, and Indian Economic Enterprise; its 8(a) certification expires January 31, 2027.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: the vendor works almost exclusively with the USDA Agricultural Research Service Plains Area, which accounts for 50 of 55 awards (92.1 million dollars combined potential value) across the past three years. The remaining five awards split between the USDA Agricultural Research Service (3 awards, $1.2 million) and the Department of the Army Forces Command (2 awards, $84 thousand). The vendor's footprint spans 11 central U.S. states and covers MEP services at federal research facilities including the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas, and ARS field research stations across the Great Plains.

Mill Creek Firelake's primary parent vehicle is the USDA ARS Plains Area Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded September 1, 2024, valued at $45 million and running through August 31, 2029. This total small business set-aside MATOC authorizes individual task orders ranging from $2,000 to $2.5 million and has already generated 43 delivery orders totaling $40.2 million in combined potential value. The vendor operates as the sole awardee on this vehicle. Representative task orders include a $5.9 million UPS maintenance contract at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (September 30, 2026); a $4.7 million electrical switchgear and PLC repair order at NBAF (September 28, 2026); a $4.95 million deferred maintenance scope for Buildings 17, 18, and greenhouses at Woodward, Oklahoma (May 20, 2025); a $3.83 million liquid nitrogen system modification at NBAF (April 2, 2026); and a $1.91 million order for effluent decontamination and thermal tissue autoclave repairs (September 23, 2026). Outside the IDIQ, the vendor holds a $265,016 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract for perimeter security gate repairs at USDA ARS Manhattan (May 1, 2025) and a $453,724 Total Small Business definitive contract for boiler, chiller, and fuel oil system upgrades at NBAF (September 9, 2024).

Activity trajectory shows rapid growth: eight awards in 2024, twenty-three in 2025, and twenty-four in 2026 year-to-date. However, significant recompete exposure looms—twenty-five awards totaling $32.7 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with the October 1, 2026 HVAC and wall-mounted unit installation order at the Center for Grain and Animal Health Research completing April 30, 2027, and multiple NBAF and field facility projects completing through mid-2027.

SCI-reported service contract activity is nascent. The vendor invoiced $1.5 million across SCI-reportable prime contracts in FY2025 with 1.5 FTEs; FY2024 showed zero SCI activity. This narrow SCI footprint reflects the vendor's reliance on fixed-price delivery orders under the MATOC, which do not always trigger SCI reporting thresholds depending on contract structure and invoice timing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performs 100% of work itself with zero sub-hours share, signaling direct delivery capability on smaller scopes.

The vendor engages subcontractors selectively on larger MEP orders: Johnson Controls, Inc. appears consistently for building automation, Metasys network architecture, and control system integration; P1 Construction LLC handles electrical scope and variable frequency drive installation; Shawver & Son Inc. performs demolition and electrical work; and specialty subs including Boiler Chiller Systems LLC, CL Construction LLC, and American Plant Products & Services Inc. execute discrete mechanical or finishing tasks. On the $4.95 million Woodward deferred maintenance order (May 2025), Mitchell Acoustics & Drywall Inc. and Shawver & Son executed framing, drywall, and demolition scopes, with Mill Creek Firelake retaining MEP leadership and coordination.

Work is coded primarily under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with secondary coding under 238350 (Other Building Finishing Contractors) and related MEP categories. PSC assignments cluster around Maintenance of Office Buildings (27 awards) and Maintenance of Laboratories and Clinics (5 awards), reflecting the federal research facility customer base. All recent awards carry firm fixed-price terms and are set aside for total small business, with a mix of sole-source 8(a) awards on smaller security and specialty projects and Competitive 8(a) ordering on MATOC task orders.
