(DOWAGIAC, Mich., January 16, 2025) – Bodwé-KVG JV, LLC, a newly formed Joint Venture between Bodwé Professional Services Group (Bodwé) and KVG, announced today it was awarded a seat on Naval Supply Systems Command’s (NAVSUP) Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC) latest iteration. This 10-year contract includes a five-year base period and five one-year option periods, with a base ceiling value of $225 million and an overall ceiling of $455 million. The award is in appreciation for Bodwé-KVG’s commitment to delivering exceptional logistical, operational, and expeditionary support services in demanding environments worldwide.
"We are honored to secure this critical award, which underscores the depth of expertise and the collaborative strength of the Bodwé-KVG Joint Venture," said Jeremy Berg, chief operating officer of Bodwé. "This win is a testament to the incredible work and dedication of our team and our partners at KVG, who have demonstrated unparalleled leadership and success in this program's previous iteration."
The Joint Venture unites Bodwé of Mno-Bmadsen, the non-gaming investment enterprise and wholly owned instrumentality of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, with KVG, a globally recognized expeditionary logistics firm renowned for supporting critical U.S. Government missions. The Bodwé-KVG JV was formed to offer seamless solutions in contested environments and respond to complex mission requirements for federal agencies. This significant contract marks a milestone for the partnership and positions Bodwé-KVG as a key player in supporting the U.S. Navy's global expeditionary mission. “We are prepared to meet program requirements quickly, aiming to deliver efficient and innovative solutions in support of NAVSUP’s global objectives,” Steven Anderson, vice president, Global Support Services. “This achievement concludes a productive inaugural year for the Bodwé-KVG JV and paves the way for continued momentum in 2025.”
The WEXMAC 1.0 program set the foundation for this follow-on contract, on which KVG was the leading performer globally. The inaugural task orders are already out for competition amongst the awardees. "We are thrilled to continue our support of the WEXMAC program now with Bodwé, which not only reinforces the strength of our partnership but also highlights the trust placed in our joint capabilities," said Eli Abbott, president at KVG.
