Reon Inc.

Reon Inc., a HUBZone-certified, minority-owned, Native American-owned small business based in Laurel, Maryland, delivers mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) infrastructure services and facility construction to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company holds active SBA 8(a) Program Participant and HUBZone certifications and competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles, with 8(a) sole-source awards representing the bulk of its higher-value contract work.

Reon operates across the full MEP service spectrum: variable frequency drive (VFD) replacements, HVAC system repairs and upgrades, chiller and refrigeration maintenance, electrical work, plumbing repairs, constant-temperature-room equipment replacement, preventive maintenance contracts, and facility renovations. Representative work includes a $2.41 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with NIH Construction to repair expansion joints on a cogeneration heat recovery steam generator and paint the cogeneration stack (awarded September 2025), a $3.4 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with NIH Construction for boiler plant ventilation system repair and replacement in Building 11 at the NIH Bethesda campus (awarded September 2025), a $2.54 million definitive contract (no set-aside) with NIH Construction for central utility plant fan deck and stack replacement (awarded October 2023), and a $2.49 million definitive contract (no set-aside) with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases for VFD replacements in Buildings 10 and 10B (awarded October 2023).

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward the National Institutes of Health and civilian research and operations agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 82% of awards: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia (64 awards, $14.4 million combined potential value), the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Construction (44 awards, $30.6 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (29 awards, $3.2 million), the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (7 awards, $12.5 million), and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (7 awards, $2.7 million). However, the dollar rankings diverge sharply: when measured by combined potential value, the GSA Region 10 account dominates at $500 million, anchored by a single multiple-award IDIQ for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) installation awarded September 2022 with a $500 million ceiling. This vehicle carries far more latent capacity than Reon's recurring task-order work with NIH and the Corps of Engineers, signaling access to a large government-wide procuring authority but limited recent activation — only two delivery orders against the GSA EVSE vehicle appear in the recent award history.

Reon holds five named indefinite delivery vehicles as prime: the $500 million GSA PBS EVSE installation IDIQ (multiple-award, Total Small Business set-aside, through August 2025); a $2.33 million single-award NIH Construction IDC for mechanical and refrigeration support at NIH Bethesda facilities (no set-aside, through December 2028, which has generated approximately $1.43 million in delivery orders since September 2023); a $9.8 million multiple-award HUBZone IDIQ with NIST for general construction services (through September 2026); a $750,000 single-award 8(a) sole-source IDC with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia for crane and rigging services in Westlake, Maryland (through January 2027, with four task orders totaling $44.2 thousand issued); and an $8 million single-award Total Small Business IDIQ with the Washington Aqueduct for electrical construction services at water treatment plant facilities in Washington, DC (awarded March 2026, through March 2031). The five vehicles span 84 task orders across the source data.

Award activity contracted in recent years: twelve awards in 2022 ramped to twenty in 2023, then dropped to ten in 2024, eight in 2025, and four in 2026 (as of the data snapshot in July). Combined potential value across all 184 prime awards totals $594 million; however, only $56.9 million (10% of potential value) has been obligated, indicating a large tail of indefinite delivery ceiling with low drawdown. Nine awards carrying combined potential value of $12 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in NIH Construction and NIST work.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $11.2 million across FY2022–FY2024: $553 thousand in FY2022, $6.1 million in FY2023, and $4.5 million in FY2024, delivered across 0.4, 6.1, and 2.1 FTEs respectively. These figures represent a partial subset of Reon's federal service activity and exclude goods, products, and below-threshold work. On SCI-captured contracts, the median government-paid rate ran around $619.51 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $3,267.67 per hour. Reon delivers services using its own direct workforce; the average sub-hours share across SCI-reported prime contracts was zero, indicating no named subcontractor engagement on the service contracts captured in SCI. The flat sub footprint in the SCI dataset and the 100% prime posture in the overall award portfolio signal that Reon builds its own delivery teams rather than subcontracting delivery to other vendors.

Reon registered as a federal contractor in April 2012 and has maintained continuous federal work, with a diversified but narrow customer base centered on facility infrastructure, maintenance, and MEP services across civilian civilian-sector research and operational installations. The vendor's market position rests on its small-business certifications (8(a) and HUBZone) and specialized technical depth in HVAC, refrigeration, electrical, and facility systems — capabilities that enable recurring sole-source and set-aside awards from established customers like NIH, NIST, and the Army Corps of Engineers, rather than broad competition or large prime-contractor tier relationships.
