R.j. Runge Company, Inc.

R.J. Runge Company, Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Port Clinton, Ohio, operates as a federal prime contractor (99% of awards) delivering construction, facility maintenance, electrical, HVAC, and trade services to civilian agencies, predominantly through indefinite-delivery vehicles and delivery orders rather than full-and-open competition.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in NASA and GSA work. NASA Glenn Research Center accounts for 134 awards ($290.9 million combined potential value) across roughly 18 years of activity — the vast bulk of R.J. Runge's total portfolio of 243 awards worth $503.5 million. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 is the second customer by both count and dollars, with 41 awards ($111.1 million combined potential value). Together, these two agencies account for 72% of all awards and 80% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard, and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts complete the top five, but at substantially smaller scale. This concentration reflects R.J. Runge's core positioning as a facility-maintenance and construction contractor for federal real property rather than a diversified services vendor.

R.J. Runge sits on two principal indefinite-delivery vehicles. The Glenn Multiple Award Construction Contract 2, a $100 million NASA IDIQ, has generated 27 task orders worth $48 million in combined potential value. More recently, on September 27, 2024, GSA Region 5 awarded R.J. Runge a $50 million small-business-set-aside indefinite-delivery contract for repair and alterations services across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, with a base term through November 2026 and annual task orders capped at $10 million. This GSA vehicle is already active — the Transportation Security Administration issued a $349,710 delivery order in March 2026 for TSA office renovation at Dayton International Airport. Additional parent vehicles include two older NASA IDIQ contracts (NNC09BA21B and NNC14BA21B) and a GSA multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (47PF0018D0076). Recent representative prime work spans the scale of R.J. Runge's delivery: a $3.625 million NASA Glenn Primary Cooler Repair delivery order (May 2024, total small business set-aside, subcontractors Deerpath Corp, Metal Forming Solutions LLC, and Chemsteel Construction Company); a $2.388 million NASA Glenn ISP STEAM Retrofit delivery order (August 2024, total small business set-aside); and a $1.888 million GSA Region 5 Motor Controls installation at the Peck Federal Building in Cincinnati (March 2024, total small business set-aside, subcontractors Debra-Kuempel Inc. and Calvin Electric LLC).

Activity was front-loaded earlier in the source timeline — twenty awards in 2022 — but has declined sharply to two awards in 2025 and two in 2026 (most recent, July 1, 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, six awards with combined potential value of $8.7 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete. R.J. Runge operates predominantly under total-small-business set-aside and competitive 8(a) designations on NASA and GSA vehicles; full-and-open delivery orders also appear in the portfolio but are less frequent.

Service Contract Inventory captures a narrow slice of R.J. Runge's federal activity — FY2022 through FY2024, 42 SCI-reportable records (all as prime), $3.5 million in total invoiced revenue. SCI invoicing ranged from $1.6 million in FY2022 to $1.2 million in FY2024, with reported FTE delivery contracting from 1.4 in FY2022 to 0.2 in FY2024. On the SCI records captured, government-paid hourly rates ran a median of $296.70/hr, with senior labor pricing through the 90th percentile at $681.23/hr and base rates at the 10th percentile around $87.11/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average 6% share of total contractor hours, with seven named subcontractors appearing in the SCI dataset. R.J. Runge's subcontracting footprint in the source is minimal; the vendor names Deerpath Corp, Metal Forming Solutions LLC, Chemsteel Construction Company, Debra-Kuempel Inc., and Calvin Electric LLC on prime contracts for specialized work (piping, rigging, mechanical, electrical) but operates primarily as a general contractor orchestrating its own delivery teams. As a subcontractor, R.J. Runge reports only two sub awards: scaffolding labor and PSL Stahl Heater installation on a NASA Test Facilities Operations Maintenance and Engineering II support-services contract.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on facility construction, renovation, electrical systems (high and low voltage), HVAC maintenance and upgrade, roofing, cooling tower systems, security infrastructure, and trade services for federal R&D and administrative facilities. NAICS concentration tracks Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (147 awards) and All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (68 awards). The vendor competes almost exclusively under small-business set-asides, particularly total-small-business designations on NASA and GSA vehicles, rather than full-and-open federal procurement.
