NCS / EML Joint Venture Iii, LLC

NCS / EML Joint Venture III, LLC, an SBA-certified 8(a) joint venture based in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, delivers facility operations, maintenance, repair, and infrastructure improvement services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 100 percent of its recent awards. The joint venture is a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned partnership between NCS Technologies, Inc. and EML Services Corp., competing predominantly under 8(a) set-asides and full-and-open competition.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on facilities management across HVAC systems, plumbing and water infrastructure, electrical and lighting work, fire suppression and alarm systems, roofing, parking lot resurfacing, elevator repair, and emergency response services. Representative work includes a $1.01 billion delivery order from the Department of the Navy for base operations support at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and the Navy Operational Support Center in Harlingen, Texas; a $13.1 million competitive 8(a) indefinite delivery contract with the Social Security Administration for facilities operations and maintenance at the Wilkes-Barre Direct Operations Center through January 2027, from which task orders for chiller repairs, boiler replacement, parking lot resurfacing, and lighting fixture installation have been issued; and a $21.3 million GSA Region 7 indefinite delivery contract for full facility maintenance at five federal buildings in Laredo, Texas, including ports of entry and the Border Patrol Headquarters, under which the vendor has executed over 90 delivery orders for HVAC repairs, water system remediation, fire alarm upgrades, and infrastructure replacement.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to GSA and SSA. The top five funding agencies account for 93 percent of recent awards by count and combined potential value. GSA Public Buildings Service Region 7 dominates both metrics with 83 awards and $22.8 million combined potential value, driven by the $21.3 million Laredo facility maintenance IDV. The Social Security Administration follows with 33 awards and $16.1 million combined potential value, anchored by the $13.1 million WBDOC IDV. However, the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, though representing only one award, carries $9.4 million in potential value, signaling larger singular contracts alongside the smaller-dollar task order work typical at GSA and SSA sites. Navy Installations Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command together add 28 awards worth $5.1 million.

The vendor holds four primary parent vehicles: the GSA Region 7 indefinite delivery contract for Laredo facility maintenance (contract 47PH0221D0008) with 93 task orders worth $1.6 million in combined potential value; the Naval Facilities Engineering Command base operations support IDIQ (N6945021D0026) with 31 task orders carrying $7.1 million combined potential value; the Social Security Administration WBDOC contract (28321322D00060009) with 32 task orders worth $3.1 million; and a GSA Region 8 operations and maintenance contract (47PJ0022D0007) in the Utah area with 4 task orders totaling $55 thousand. Award velocity has declined from 47 in 2022 to 12 through September 2026, reflecting contract maturity and task order consolidation rather than loss of standing. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only one award ($19 thousand) faces completion. The SSA WBDOC contract and the Navy IDIQ run through 2026 and 2027 respectively, positioning the vendor for sustained revenue through multi-year option periods on base operations support work.

Work is performed at multiple locations: Laredo, Texas (five federal buildings including port of entry facilities); Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (SSA operations center); Corpus Christi and Kingsville, Texas (naval installations); Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah (GSA Region 8 facilities); and subordinate naval bases. Across its portfolio, NCS / EML competes without subcontractor partners on its prime awards, delivering all work in-house. The joint venture's award trajectory and vehicle holdings reflect a stable, mature contractor base concentrated on routine and capital facility maintenance for civilian and military federal buildings, with heavy reliance on two anchor IDVs (GSA Region 7 and SSA) that together represent more than 60 percent of recent combined potential value.
