Charis Services LLC

Charis Services LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Laurel, Maryland, provides wheelchair van transportation services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor, with 100% of its federal award footprint concentrated in SDVOSB and full-and-open VA procurement. The company is a minority-owned, Black American-owned for-profit limited liability company that also holds self-certified small disadvantaged business status and veteran ownership designations.

Charis Services LLC operates entirely within a narrow, specialized capability: wheelchair-accessible van transportation for veterans between VA medical facilities, community-based outpatient clinics, and approved non-VA medical providers. The firm delivered services under four active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6) ranging from $234 thousand to $3.5 million in ceiling value, including a $2.8 million SDVOSB-set-aside IDC for Fayetteville, North Carolina operations (awarded June 2023, extending through September 2026) and a $3.5 million SDVOSB-designated IDC covering broader VISN 6 service areas (awarded October 2022, extended through September 2025). Recent delivery orders under these vehicles include a $827 thousand SDVOSB sole-source purchase order for three-month Hampton VA services (January–June 2026), a $1.1 million SDVOSB-set-aside delivery order for Fayetteville operations (October 2024, extending through September 2027), and a $1.4 million full-and-open delivery order for Hampton services (October 2024, completing December 2025). The company also holds a $1.8 million SDVOSB-set-aside executive driver transportation contract with VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick for government employee and senior executive mobility within fifty miles of Washington, D.C., covering VA medical centers in Richmond, Virginia and Martinsburg, West Virginia (awarded June 2022, extending through May 2027).

Customer concentration is extreme: 37 of 42 awards (86% of combined potential value at $28.9 million) flow from VISN 6 alone. The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick accounts for 2 awards ($3 million combined potential value). The remaining award count is split among VISN 4 and VISN 15, both with negligible dollar values. Award volume has declined materially—eight awards in 2022 to two in 2026 year-to-date—and five awards totaling $4.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Combined potential value across the footprint is $31.9 million, with $18.7 million (59%) already obligated. The firm holds no parent vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs; all awards are single-award VA contracts or delivery orders against VA-held indefinite delivery contracts. Charis Services LLC does not subcontract and carries no teaming relationships in the award record.
