History
KIRA, Incorporated was founded by Carlos Garcia in 1987 with just $2,000 in start-up funds. In 1989 the company received 8(a) certification. The company graduated from the 8(a) program in 1998 with annual revenues of $3 million. Today KIRA is among the fastest growing Department of Defense facility maintenance and construction contractors in the United States.
Currently KIRA supports the Department of Defense at dozens of locations throughout the United States as well as overseas. KIRA operates electric, water and waste plants, maintains runways, provides vehicle maintenance services, supply services, as well as offering services supporting virtually every category of base operations and logistic functions currently being outsourced by the Department of Defense.
As the company approaches its 20th anniversary, KIRA has developed a remarkable track record for the quality of its services. Evidence of this are the award fee scores earned by KIRA; during the 19 years that KIRA has been in business, the average award fee score earned by KIRA has exceeded 98%.
Present Contracts
This performance has resulted in KIRA being awarded increasing larger contracts. In 2004, KIRA was awarded a $78 million, 8-year contract to perform maintenance services at multiple Navy locations in Northeast Florida. In 2005 KIRA began work on a 15-year, 200 employee assignment providing Base Operation Support overseas for the Navy under a subcontract from Computer Science Services (CSC.) Notable KIRA wins in 2006 include the $60 million Army Base Operations Support Contract (BOS) at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and the $178 million Base Operation Support Contract at Fort Carson, Colorado. KIRA was also recently awarded a 5-year Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to perform construction services on Air Force Military Bases in the United States. KIRA is a subcontractor on the 10-year A-76 Base Operations “Big BOS” contract at Keesler Air Force Base. All of these contracts were competitively procured; none were sole sourced or directed awards.
