About Black Pine
A two-person, veteran-owned supplier that publishes its numbers.
The firm
Why this site reads like a spec sheet
Most of the work of winning a federal contract happens before anyone talks to you. A contracting officer doing market research has a requirement, a NAICS code, a deadline, and a browser with eleven tabs open. They are not reading a story. They are looking for a UEI, a CAGE code, a certification that is current, and evidence that the firm can perform at the size of the requirement.
So this site is built to answer that in ninety seconds, and to survive being printed in black and white into a market research file. Where we do not have a number yet, the slot says so rather than filling with a phrase. A firm that is vague about its own capacity is telling you something.

Service
The veteran part, told once
Micah Kennell, President & CEO, is the veteran owner.
Service record to be supplied — branch, unit, dates, rating.
Veteran-owned is a differentiator, not a business model. Contracting officers have seen the flag-waving version a thousand times and it reads as a substitute for capability. The record goes here, stated plainly and once, and then the rest of the site gets on with the work.

Past performance
The record
Black Pine is a young firm. Rather than dress that up, here is what a buyer can legitimately weigh instead — and what we will hand you the moment you ask.
Newly established in 2026 — no prior federal awards.
Each record published in the CPARS shape a contracting officer already reads: customer, contract or PO number, value, period of performance, scope, outcome, and a named reference with a direct phone number. Commercial and state or local work counts in exactly the same format.
What stands in for a long federal record
- Key personnel past performance. What the principals delivered at prior firms, by customer, value and scope.
- Commercial and state work published in the same CPARS shape as federal work.
- Supply proof. Distributor accounts, supplier quotes and letters of supply — evidence we can get the product, at the quantity, by the date, without a federal award behind it.
- Live references. Names and direct phone numbers. A buyer who can call two people in five minutes will take a chance that a buyer who cannot never will.
- Specificity. Exact scopes, real codes, published limits. It is the cheapest credibility available and most firms skip it.
