The KYA Group

What The KYA Group does

The KYA Group (legally KYA Services LLC) is a private specialty contractor specializing in indoor and outdoor facility modernization for public-sector clients, particularly K-12 school districts, community colleges, and municipalities across California and Texas. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Santa Ana, California, the company delivers turnkey construction, surfacing, and HVAC services through seven regional offices, an in-house installation workforce, and government procurement vehicles including GSA Schedule and California CMAS contracts. Its flagship proprietary offering is the CUUBE™ line of prefabricated steel structures available in 36, 60, and 100 series, marketed with a 100-year lifespan and DSA pre-checked designs to accelerate regulatory approval for educational facilities such as gymnasiums, classrooms, and multi-purpose buildings.

KYA's product portfolio also includes synthetic turf systems (with GeoCool™ infill and NR34 / MaxFlo shock pad technologies), poured-in-place playground surfacing, inclusive playground design, athletic field and track construction, gymnasium flooring, and HVAC preventative maintenance programs. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based construction contracts bundled with design, project management, and installation services, plus ancillary product sales of surfacing materials and equipment. The sub-brand KYA Active packages outdoor infrastructure solutions for K-14 education aligned with the CDC's WSCC framework, while the company leverages cooperative purchasing programs such as FCCC's CollegeBuys to streamline procurement for community colleges.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, augmented by cooperative and government procurement channels (CMAS, GSA Schedule, FCCC) that reduce friction for public-sector buyers. Strategic supplier partnerships with TenCate (turf systems) and TLS Choice (CUUBE Kit of Parts logistics) embed KYA into the supply chain for its core products. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company shows no external funding rounds, suggesting founder or management ownership, with the ESOP-branded logo indicating an employee ownership component. Customer concentration is high in the public education vertical, with single projects documented in the multi-million-dollar range.
