D7, LLC

D7, LLC, doing business as Dawson D7, a Native Hawaiian-owned 8(a) small disadvantaged business, operates as a 100% prime contractor delivering construction, facilities maintenance, grounds services, and specialized technical support to the Department of Defense and 43 other federal agencies, with headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado and a parent company, Hawaiian Native Corporation, based in Honolulu. D7 competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-aside designations, with grounds maintenance, commercial construction, and facilities support work dominating its prime footprint across the past five years.

D7's customer base concentrates heavily on the Air Force Academy (46 awards, $41 million potential value), Marine Corps (26 awards, $4.4 million), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (17 awards, $33.8 million), and Navy Installations Command (14 awards, $6.3 million), together accounting for 60% of recent awards. By dollars, the vendor's portfolio is anchored by mega-vehicles: the Defense Logistics Agency Energy contract (3 awards, $2.51 billion combined potential value) and four GSA Public Buildings Service EVSE contracts for electric vehicle supply equipment across geographic zones A through D ($2 billion combined potential value). These two customer segments account for 94% of combined potential value, creating substantial concentration risk against platform modernization and energy infrastructure cycles. The top parent indefinite delivery vehicles include a $20 million Air Force Academy grounds maintenance contract (45 task orders), a $6.7 million Marine Corps Base Hawaii construction support IDIQ (37 task orders), and specialized single-award contracts with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for Great Lakes fire protection ($4.4 million ceiling).

D7 holds four major vehicle positions: the OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award GWAC with GSA (ceiling $999.999 billion, award date December 17, 2024, ultimate completion December 16, 2029); the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency ($151 billion ceiling, December 29, 2025 award through December 28, 2035); and the Fuels MATOC with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center for worldwide Department of Defense petroleum, oil, and lubricant systems construction and repair ($2.5 billion ceiling, March 25, 2035). Three GSA total small business set-aside IDIQs for electric vehicle supply equipment installation in geographic zones A, B, and C ($500 million each, awarded September 2022 through October 2022, ultimate completion dates August–October 2026) and a Naval Facilities Engineering Command 8(a) sole-source contract for Marine Corps Base Hawaii construction support ($24 million, August 22, 2022 award through August 21, 2027) round out the active vehicle portfolio. Delivery orders under the Air Force Academy grounds maintenance IDIQ ($20 million combined value across 45 task orders) and the Marine Corps Base Hawaii construction IDIQ ($6.7 million across 37 task orders) represent the vendor's most active transactional pipelines.

Recent activity trajectory shows volatility: 38 awards in 2022, declining to 26 in 2023 and 18 in 2024, then recovering to 30 in 2025, with only 5 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date as of mid-July. Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $148.6 million, exposing the vendor to material recompete cliff risk, particularly as multi-year vehicle option periods expire and refresh cycles begin across Air Force Academy, Marine Corps, and Navy Installations Command platforms.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts shows $93.8 million across fiscal years 2022–2024: $37.4 million in FY2022 (127 FTEs), $45 million in FY2023 (151 FTEs), and $11.4 million in FY2024 (63.7 FTEs). The sharp FY2024 decline in SCI-reportable dollars and headcount signals a shift toward task-order-based contract delivery or lower service-contract threshold work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $63.55/hr at the 10th percentile to a median of $157.42/hr and $834.77/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting mix across grounds labor, technical specialists, and IT support disciplines. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average 15% of contractor hours, with 20 named subs reported; D7 typically builds delivery teams internally while engaging select specialized subs for discrete technical or trade work such as electrical, HVAC, and structural services.

D7's recent representative work includes a $14.95 million competitive 8(a) definitive contract with U.S. Army ENDIST Sacramento (award October 15, 2023) for design, supply, and installation of two 2000-kilowatt backup generators at the Defense Distribution San Joaquin facility in Tracy, California, with completion by September 16, 2027 and subcontractors including Merrick & Company for design, All Power Inc. for generator installation, and SWCA Environment Consultants for environmental permits; a $20.2 million 8(a) sole-source repair contract with Army ENDIST Honolulu (September 30, 2022) for Building 759 repair work at Schofield Barracks on Oahu, Hawaii (ultimate completion December 9, 2024); a $11.6 million design-build hangar renovation and hoist installation contract with Air Force Global Strike Command at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (July 14, 2023, ultimate completion July 10, 2025); a $7.93 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Engineering and Support Center (April 19, 2023) for roads and grounds maintenance at Defense Intelligence Agency Headquarters at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, DC (ultimate completion October 19, 2027); and a $3.6 million competitive 8(a) delivery order from the Department of Defense Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (January 29, 2026) for program management and requiring activities support in Colorado Springs (ultimate completion January 28, 2027). D7 also holds a $24.7 million 8(a) sole-source Defense Health Agency contract for military health system governance and administrative program support (award February 15, 2022, ultimate completion February 28, 2027) and a $20.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee Defense Threat Reduction Agency counterintelligence professional services contract (award March 1, 2022, ultimate completion February 28, 2027) with Upslope Advisors Inc., a minority-owned SBA 8(a) participant, as a named subcontractor.

D7's capability footprint spans commercial and institutional building construction (57 awards), landscaping and grounds maintenance (47 awards), facilities support services (14 awards), HVAC and plumbing contracting (10 awards), and computer systems design (6 awards), grounded in recurring delivery across Air Force grounds maintenance contracts (PSC housekeeping–landscaping and groundskeeping codes predominate), Marine Corps quick-turn facility repairs and emergency construction support (PSC repair or alteration codes), Navy fire protection systems maintenance and SCADA support, and Army Corps of Engineers infrastructure projects in Hawaii and the continental United States. The vendor does not appear in the source as a significant subcontractor; all awards are prime contracts, positioning D7 as a direct federal contractor rather than a feeder to larger prime integrators, though D7 regularly subcontracts specialized trades and professional services to achieve delivery objectives.
