Cavan Solutions Inc.

Cavan Solutions Inc., a Women-Owned Small Business based in Washington, D.C., is a specialized provider of systems engineering, program management, and technical support services to the Federal Aviation Administration, operating predominantly as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) on large indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor holds two substantial FAA IDIQs worth $2.268 billion and $6.588 million, respectively, and competes across both partial small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders, with no women-owned set-aside sole source limited to the smaller IDIQ vehicle.

Cavan's customer footprint is extraordinarily concentrated. The FAA Headquarters accounts for 32 awards and $4.59 billion of combined potential value (approximately 99.6% of the company's total federal award portfolio), with the FAA Technical Center representing 10 awards worth $19.9 million. NASA and the Navy account for four nominal awards with negligible combined value. This concentration reflects Cavan's embedded role in FAA modernization programs spanning the National Airspace System lifecycle. Concrete capability examples include a $25.77 million time-and-materials delivery order (awarded August 30, 2023, ultimate completion August 29, 2028) for operational traffic management support under the System Engineering and Technical Innovative Solutions (SETIS) IDIQ; a $21.9 million delivery order (awarded September 16, 2021, ultimate completion December 31, 2027) for air traffic and trajectory-based operations planning and analysis; a $15.8 million delivery order (awarded September 2, 2021, ultimate completion March 15, 2026) for NAVAID monitoring equipment program support; a $13.4 million delivery order (awarded October 1, 2024, ultimate completion December 31, 2027) for FAA Contract Towers program operations staffing; and a $4.5 million BPA call (awarded December 19, 2024, ultimate completion March 19, 2027) under the Electronic FAA Accelerated and Simplified Tasks (eFAST) vehicle for wake turbulence and emerging technologies support. Work is performed primarily in Washington, D.C., with subordinate locations including Atlantic City, New Jersey (simulation pilot support) and Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C. (program office front-office operations).

Cavan holds positions on five named parent vehicles. The largest is SETIS (Indefinite Delivery Contract 693KA921D00013), a $2.268 billion single-award IDIQ under a partial small business set-aside from which 16 task orders have been issued carrying $164.9 million in combined potential value. The smaller PMO and program management support services IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Contract 693KA822D00019) carries a $6.588 million ceiling and has generated three task orders worth $6.6 million combined. The eFAST BPA has yielded five task orders worth $54 million combined, including the recent $4.5 million wake turbulence work and a $4.388 million controller training solutions program management support call (awarded April 13, 2026, ultimate completion October 19, 2028) under a WOSB sole-source set-aside. Two additional FAA IDIQs (693KA822D00017 and DTFACT17D00011) have generated six task orders worth $13.2 million combined. All task orders are priced time-and-materials.

Activity remained stable through 2024 (eight awards that year) but has slowed markedly in 2025 (two awards) and 2026 (one award to date), though the source data reflects a three-month lag. Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $136.2 million and face recompete exposure. These include the $25.77 million NAS operations delivery order (August 2028), the $21.9 million Advanced Air Mobility Office delivery order (December 2027), the $15.09 million contractor support delivery order (December 2028), the $13.4 million FCT program delivery order (December 2027), and multiple smaller sustainment and program-support orders.

In its subcontractor role, Cavan delivers technical services to Goodrich Corporation (SWIM capabilities support, awarded October 9, 2024), American Medical & Rehab Co (SWIM capability support under the EPICS vehicle, March 1, 2024), and University of California San Diego (engineering support under EPICS, March 1, 2024), with performance at NASA Ames Research Center and Langley Research Center. Cavan also appears as a sub-recipient under University of Texas at Austin grants for autonomous aerial cargo operations (awarded January 30, 2025, and January 18, 2024), though no grant CFDA numbers are provided in the source. The subcontractor footprint accounts for 12% of recent awards and reflects secondary positioning on NASA and defense vehicle work.

Service Contract Inventory data capture is sparse: the dataset shows 62 records (53 prime, 9 sub) across FY2022–FY2024 but reports zero invoiced revenue for all fiscal years. FTE trajectory from SCI reads 6.3 FTEs in FY2022, 0.0 FTEs in FY2023 (likely a reporting gap), and 7.4 FTEs in FY2024. The mismatch between the large award ceiling values and zero SCI invoicing suggests either that most Cavan work is classified, exempt from SCI reporting, or conducted on cost-plus or fixed-price vehicles with different accounting treatment than the service-hour contracts SCI captures. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors contributed 0% of total contractor hours, indicating Cavan builds and retains its own technical workforce for FAA delivery orders.
