Nexus Group, LLC

Nexus Group, LLC, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based SBA 8(a) certified small business, operates as a prime contractor providing maintenance, repair, calibration, and technical support for scientific, medical, and laboratory equipment across federal agencies. The firm is minority-owned (Hispanic American-owned) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with 8(a) certification valid through October 2032. Nexus Group competes predominantly under small business set-asides—approximately 55% of its recent prime awards carry 8(a) sole-source, Total Small Business, or other set-aside designations—alongside full-and-open competitions, demonstrating dual-track capability.

Nexus Group's capability footprint centers on equipment maintenance and support services for sophisticated laboratory and analytical instrumentation. The firm delivers preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, parts replacement, calibration, and 24/7 technical support for mass spectrometers, centrifuges, PCR systems, tissue processors, ultrasound systems, laser equipment, and related devices used in healthcare, research, and diagnostic settings. Representative recent contracts illustrate scope: a $2.5 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (awarded September 2024) for preventive maintenance and repair across 51 analytical instruments at the Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi; a $1.31 million Defense Health Agency purchase order (September 2023) for laser and X-ray tube maintenance at Womack Army Medical Center in North Carolina; a $431,580 definitive contract with EPA Region 6 (September 2024) for analytical instrument maintenance and repair services under 8(a) sole-source set-aside; and a $404,460 total small business set-aside definitive contract with the U.S. Geological Survey (September 2023) for gas chromatography, GC-MS, and LC-QQQ equipment maintenance at the National Water Quality Laboratory in Colorado.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward Defense Health Agency and Department of Veterans Affairs. The Defense Health Agency anchors the portfolio with 18 awards carrying $2.8 million in combined potential value (17% of total awards by count, 17% by dollars). Within the VA system, the top three customers by potential value are Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (8 awards, $1.2 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (5 awards, $1.2 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (8 awards, $977 thousand). The FDA ranks fourth by potential value at $780 thousand across 12 awards. Across 50 distinct federal agencies, the top five customers account for 42% of combined potential value, with Veterans Affairs and Defense Health Agency together representing the plurality of both award count and dollar value. The federal research and civilian health community—NIH components, FDA, USDA Agricultural Research Service, EPA—rounds out the secondary customer tier.

Nexus Group holds three named parent vehicles: a Blanket Purchase Agreement under VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (ceiling $92,400, two task orders issued totaling $47 thousand); an Indefinite Delivery Contract under VA VISN 4 (ceiling $247,500, established April 2026); and an Indefinite Delivery Contract under VA VISN 16 (ceiling $85,500, established October 2024). These VA vehicles provide recurring framework agreements for histology equipment service and diagnostic systems maintenance, anchoring recurring revenue streams across multiple VA network sites.

Activity has grown year over year—from 13 awards in 2022 to a peak of 49 in both 2024 and 2025—then moderated to 22 awards through the first three quarters of 2026. The 168 total prime awards over the capture period carry a combined potential value of $16.5 million, of which $7.3 million (44%) has been obligated to date. Forty-five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months represent $3.1 million in potential recompete exposure, signaling significant opportunity for incumbency capture or competitive challenge across the VA and Defense Health Agency customer base.

Nexus Group's award footprint is entirely prime contractor activity; the vendor does not appear in subcontractor roles in the source data. The firm's work is geographically distributed across domestic federal facilities—VA medical centers in Texas, California, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas; Army and Air Force bases; civilian research institutes in Maryland, Colorado, and Kansas—with no indication of overseas or hostile-area performance requirements.

Categorically, Nexus Group's work clusters in NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, 117 awards) and PSC J065/J066 (equipment maintenance for laboratory, medical, and diagnostic instruments, 147 awards combined). The vendor's competitive posture within the federal marketplace leverages its 8(a) certification and small disadvantaged business status to secure set-aside awards while maintaining capacity to compete in unrestricted procurements, particularly with the VA and Defense Health Agency where repeat-customer relationships and proven equipment-maintenance track records support continued incumbent advantage.
