QBS Inc.

QBS Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business based in Alliance, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor on federal construction, repair, renovation, and facilities support projects exclusively for the Department of Defense and related agencies. The company competes predominantly under HUBZone set-asides across its prime footprint, with recent awards split between HUBZone and full-and-open designations.

QBS Inc.'s customer base concentrates heavily on Army infrastructure work. The top five funding agencies by award count represent 57% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville (95 awards, $534.9 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (37 awards, $514 million). When ranked by dollar value, the concentration sharpens: the same two Army entities plus Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the Corps of Engineers Engineering District Savannah, and Army IMCOM Northeast Region account for 84% of combined potential value across $1.98 billion in total awards.

QBS Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on military facility construction, repair, and maintenance. Representative prime work includes a $16.3 million definitive contract with the Army Corps of Engineers (awarded July 2025) for construction of a new 24,500-square-foot fire station at Youngstown Air Reserve Base in Vienna, Ohio; a $9.043 million small-business set-aside definitive contract with the Air National Guard (awarded May 2023) for Building 1 renovation at Zanesville; a $1.539 million HUBZone definitive contract with Air Force Space Command (awarded July 2022) for renovation and repair of Facility 35420 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station; and numerous smaller delivery orders under task order vehicles for roof replacements, HVAC system upgrades, electrical repairs, runway resurfacing, fire suppression system installation, and interior renovations. Work is performed at military installations nationwide, including Fort Campbell (Kentucky), Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island (South Carolina), Detroit Arsenal (Michigan), and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (Florida).

QBS Inc. holds four major indefinite delivery vehicles: a $495 million Fort Campbell Construction Services MATOC (2023-2028) for repair, renovation, and construction at Fort Campbell with 36 active task orders; a $120 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command HUBZone Multiple Award Construction Contract (2023-2028) for Marine Corps facilities in Beaufort and Parris Island with nine active task orders; a $165 million Fort Knox HUBZone multiple-award IDIQ (2026-2031) for broad-range real property repair and minor construction; and a $92 million Detroit Arsenal Construction MATOC held as a prior vehicle. The firm also places significant task orders under Army Corps of Engineers IDIQs — notably DAHA3300D0004 (65 task orders), W912QR04D0016 (45 task orders, $49.7 million combined value), W912QR09D0018 (27 task orders, $66.1 million), and Navy Installations Command's N4008517D0540 (27 task orders, $59.9 million).

Activity has grown over the past three years — three awards in 2022 to twenty-one in 2024 — though 2025 and early 2026 show normalization at twelve and three awards respectively. Only four awards (combined potential value $20.3 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating light recompete exposure in that window. QBS Inc. operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data; 100% of its 410 awards are prime contracts or IDVs. The company's work concentrate in commercial and institutional building construction (214 awards) and heavy civil engineering construction (45 awards), with secondary depth in facilities support services. The company's HUBZone certification anchors most procurement set-asides, though recent large definitive contracts at Youngstown and Cape Canaveral were awarded under full-and-open competition.
