Cypress Solutions LLC

Cypress Solutions LLC, a woman-owned and minority-owned 8(a) small disadvantaged business based in Gonzales, Louisiana, provides janitorial services, building maintenance, construction, and disaster-recovery facility services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company operates exclusively under set-asides — predominantly 8(a) Sole Source, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Total Small Business designations — and has delivered work across seven customer agencies in the past several years.

Cypress Solutions' customer base concentrates heavily on disaster-response and facilities management work. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 83% of combined potential value across recent awards ($21.7 million across eleven awards), driven by a series of temporary housing unit maintenance, deactivation, and construction contracts stemming from Hurricane Ida and Louisiana Disasters 4559 and 4570. The Department of Homeland Security's Coast Guard holds two awards totaling $1.8 million (mess attendant services and janitorial services at Air Station New Orleans), and the company has completed isolated work for the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (ENDIST New Orleans, $1.1 million for multi-location building cleaning), the Transportation Security Administration ($240 thousand for janitorial services at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport), and the Air Force Space Command ($381 thousand for antiterrorism barrier construction at Kennedy Space Center). The recompete cliff is modest: two awards totaling $1.8 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.

Cypress Solutions' capability portfolio spans janitorial and custodial services (17 awards), commercial and institutional building construction (5 awards), and specialized support functions such as mess attendant services. Representative prime contracts include an $8.5 million FEMA purchase order awarded in December 2023 for maintenance and deactivation of temporary housing units supporting DR-4559 and DR-4570, a $5.9 million FEMA definitive contract from April 2022 for construction of a 97-pad temporary community housing site in Laplace, Louisiana, and a $1.6 million Coast Guard definitive contract from December 2021 for mess attendant services at New Roads, Louisiana running through November 2026. SCI-reported invoicing reached $3.7 million in FY2024 across 16.1 FTEs on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, with government-paid hourly rates spanning from a low of $15.73/hr to a high of $138.42/hr (median $48.98/hr). The company self-performs all contracted hours and does not engage subcontractors. Award activity shows peaks in 2021 (seven awards tied to initial Hurricane Ida response) and 2024 (multi-year maintenance and disaster-recovery obligations), with sparse activity in intervening years reflecting the episodic nature of disaster-recovery contracting.
