Cypress Solutions LLC

Cypress Solutions LLC, an SBA-certified 8(a) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business based in Gonzales, Louisiana, operates as a prime contractor delivering facilities maintenance, janitorial services, disaster recovery support, and construction services to federal agencies. The firm is minority-owned and Black American-owned; it competes almost exclusively under set-aside vehicles, with 8(a) Sole Source designations anchoring the majority of its prime work.

Cypress Solutions' customer concentration centers on FEMA and related disaster-recovery missions. Of 23 total prime awards, the Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 11 awards valued at $21.7 million combined potential value (84% of total portfolio), making it the dominant customer by both volume and dollars. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard holds the second position with 2 awards ($1.7 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering District New Orleans awarded a $1.1 million building-cleaning contract most recently in March 2026. The top five customers by dollar value collectively represent 100% of the portfolio's combined potential value.

Cypress Solutions' capability footprint is heavily concentrated in low-complexity service delivery. The portfolio breaks down as follows by award category: janitorial services (16 awards), commercial and institutional building construction (5 awards), site preparation (1 award), and food service (1 award). Representative prime work includes a $8.5 million FEMA purchase order for maintenance and deactivation of temporary tent housing units in support of Hurricanes DR-4559 and DR-4570 (awarded December 2023, running through December 2025); a $5.9 million FEMA definitive contract for construction of a 97-pad temporary community housing site in Laplace, Louisiana following Hurricane Ida (awarded April 2022); a $1.1 million definitive contract with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's Engineering and Installation District New Orleans for building cleaning services across multiple locations through March 2031 (awarded March 2026); and a $1.6 million Coast Guard definitive contract for mess attendant services in New Roads, Louisiana (awarded December 2021, running through November 2026). COVID-19 pandemic cleaning and disinfection support through FEMA BPA calls in 2021 represents earlier-stage relationship-building work.

Cypress Solutions operates entirely as a prime contractor — 23 awards (100%) carry prime status with zero sub awards in the portfolio. The vendor does not sit on multi-award government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide IDIQs; instead, it executes work under two FEMA Blanket Purchase Agreements (70FBLA20A00000005 with 9 task orders totaling $86 thousand, and 70FBLA21A00000001 with 1 task order at $24 thousand), with the remainder as direct definitive contracts or purchase orders.

Award activity has been volatile. The portfolio shows 7 awards in 2021, dropping to 1 in 2022, recovering to 3 in 2023, then declining to 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. Of the current portfolio's $25.9 million combined potential value, $21.4 million (83%) has been obligated. The recompete cliff shows only 2 awards completing in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $1.7 million, indicating moderate near-term recompete exposure despite the larger historical dollars flowing through disaster-recovery contracts that have since closed out.

From a Service Contract Inventory perspective, Cypress Solutions reports SCI-captured invoicing of $16 thousand in FY2022, $261 thousand in FY2023, and $3.7 million in FY2024 across 2.0, 3.8, and 16.1 FTEs respectively — a sharp ramp in FY2024 reflecting scaled-up facilities operations. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performs 100% of contracted hours in-house with no named subcontractors (0% average sub-hours share). Government-paid rates on these contracts range from $15.73/hr at the 10th percentile to a median of $48.98/hr, with senior labor reaching $138.42/hr at the 90th percentile — a spread consistent with mixed-skill facilities and administrative staffing. SCI covers federal service contracts above $150 thousand and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and non-federal revenue; the $4 million SCI total represents a subset of the vendor's federal services activity captured in that dataset.
