Polu KAI Services-Tidewater JV LLC

Polu KAI Services-Tidewater JV LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned and small disadvantaged business joint venture based in Falls Church, Virginia, delivers facility support services, construction, and maintenance work to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, operating 100% under prime awards with no subcontract footprint. The joint venture pairs Polu KAI Services LLC (a minority-owned, Native American-owned, Native Hawaiian-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned parent company) with Tidewater Government Solutions, Inc., and competes across full-and-open and total-small-business set-aside categories.

Polu KAI's customer concentration is heavily weighted to Army medical facility support. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville dominates both award volume and dollars—12 awards carrying $137.1 million in combined potential value, or 93% of the vendor's total contract portfolio. Air Combat Command provides the secondary customer base with 14 awards valued at $10.1 million, representing facility maintenance and light construction at Beale Air Force Base. The two customer bases reflect distinct capability sets: Army work centers on program management, logistics support, and facility operations across military medical installations including Fort Polk, Fort Detrick, Fort Campbell, Fort Bliss, and Aberdeen Proving Ground, while Air Force work emphasizes tactical facility repairs, HVAC systems, electrical installations, and minor construction projects.

Polu KAI's vehicle position is anchored to two parent IDIQs. The Medical Facilities Support Services II A (MFSS IIA), a $125 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract held with Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, carries 11 task orders valued at $9.5 million combined. Representative work under MFSS IIA includes a $3.16 million logistics support labor task order at Frederick, Maryland (awarded September 2023, completing September 2027); a $1.4 million facility support delivery order at Fort Detrick (September 2022); and a $1.39 million base-year facility support order at Fort Campbell (August 2022). A second Air Force facility support IDIQ (FA468621D0003, valued at $9.2 million) supports 14 task orders at Beale AFB, including a $83,685 service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside for door and lighting replacement (September 2025), a $54,057 total-small-business refurbishment order for the Pogo Shack (August 2025), and a $47,450 walkway construction delivery order (September 2024).

Activity shows material contraction. The vendor executed nine awards in 2022, then dropped to two in 2023 and one in 2024, recovering slightly to four in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 29 awards totals $147.8 million, but only $9.9 million (7%) has been obligated, indicating large ceiling contracts with minimal drawdown. Three awards worth $5.1 million combined reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated in the MFSS IIA vehicle.

By category concentration, Polu KAI's work splits between Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (16 awards) and Facilities Support Services (13 awards), with professional support and real-property repair work making up the remainder. The vendor's capability footprint centers on hangar and facility repairs, HVAC and electrical installation, building demolition and site restoration, and facility operations and maintenance labor for military installations and medical centers.
