Southco Services LLC

Southco Services LLC, doing business as Southco Electrical & Elevator Services LLC, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Augusta, Georgia, that operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying elevator inspection, maintenance, modernization, and electrical services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides; recent activity shows 52 of 94 total awards (55%) carry explicit SDVOSB set-aside or sole-source designations, with the remainder issued full-and-open or under small-business set-asides on GSA schedules and VA vehicles.

Southco's capability portfolio centers on elevator safety inspection, testing, load verification, repair, and modernization for federal healthcare facilities. Concrete representative work includes a $2.54 million delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (September 2026, completion August 2027) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for elevator inspection, maintenance, and electrical services in Cleveland, Ohio; a $906.5 thousand delivery order from VISN 7 (May 2026, completion April 2031) for elevator maintenance and repair across South Carolina VA facilities; a $457.66 thousand purchase order from VISN 7 (April 2023, completion March 2028) for elevator service and maintenance in Dublin, Georgia; and a $281.98 thousand Air Force definitive contract (September 2024) for elevator modernization at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, including control system replacement and governor installation. The vendor also delivers electrical services including critical circuit installation, as evidenced by a $165.89 thousand definitive contract from VISN 19 (December 2021) to install critical electrical infrastructure for lab equipment at a Colorado VA medical center. Southco's GSA Schedule labor rates span six categories at $209.51 to $431.58 per hour, covering one-person and two-person elevator maintenance crews and electrical services technicians, all requiring high school education and five years of relevant experience with no security clearance positions offered.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Veterans Affairs across multiple regional networks. The top five VISN customers by award count account for 78 percent of awards: VISN 4 leads with 30 awards and $1.5 million combined potential value, followed by VISN 9 (22 awards, $577 thousand), VISN 12 (8 awards, $566 thousand), VISN 7 (7 awards, $1.6 million), and VISN 19 (6 awards, $441 thousand). Notably, VISN 10, though placing only 4 awards, anchors the largest dollar concentration at $2.7 million combined potential value, driven by the single $2.54 million delivery order. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Air Force Test Center, and Air Force Materiel Command represent limited non-VA exposure totaling fewer than ten awards and under $300 thousand combined. This concentration—94 of 94 awards from Department of Veterans Affairs networks plus fewer than 10 from other agencies—signals an almost exclusive federal healthcare facility footprint.

Southco's vehicle position spans three primary vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (contract ceiling $500 thousand, September 6, 2024 through September 5, 2029) with 7 task orders worth $2.9 million in combined potential value; a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with VISN 4 (contract ceiling $790.535 thousand, February 15, 2022 through February 14, 2027, SDVOSB set-aside) supporting 29 delivery orders worth $750 thousand; and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with VISN 9 (contract ceiling $324 thousand, April 7, 2023 through March 31, 2028, SDVOSB set-aside) generating 21 task order calls worth $253 thousand. Activity has grown across the measurement window—15 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2026—with 31 awards (combined potential value $4 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure.

The vendor's work concentrates in NAICS 541350 (Building Inspection Services), which accounts for 70 of 94 awards, with secondary niches in 541380 (Facilities Support Services, 11 awards) and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors, 7 awards). PSC coding reflects inspection-focused delivery: Inspection-Miscellaneous (41 awards) and Other QC/Test/Inspect-Miscellaneous (18 awards) dominate the portfolio. Southco operates with no identified subcontractors across its prime award footprint and maintains no federal grant recipient activity. The combined potential value of $9.4 million against $4.4 million already obligated (47 percent realization rate) reflects a mix of long-term multiple-year service contracts with staggered funding and newer single-year or option-year deliveries typical of VA facilities maintenance work.
