Damiano Cataldi Maintenance Services, Inc.

Damiano Cataldi Maintenance Services, Inc., a woman-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Carolina, Puerto Rico, provides grounds maintenance and janitorial cleaning services to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds SBA certifications as an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business and a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business, competing exclusively in set-aside categories across a sixty-one-award footprint spanning two decades.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on two service lines: janitorial and custodial cleaning (31 awards across NAICS 561720 and PSC code D301) and landscaping and groundskeeping (18 awards under NAICS 561730 and PSC D307). Recent representative work includes a $133,269.58 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration on September 17, 2025, for window and cab shade cleaning at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in Carolina, Puerto Rico, running through September 30, 2030; a $62,050 purchase order from the International Institute of Tropical Forestry (USDA Forest Service) awarded October 1, 2026, for grounds maintenance at the Sabana Field Research Station in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with pricing at Service Contract Labor Standards rates ($9.50 per hour plus $5.55 fringe); and a $27,200 purchase order for grounds maintenance at the Guayama Research Area in Puerto Rico, also awarded October 1, 2026, with Option Year 1 exercised through December 31, 2030.

Customer concentration reflects a bifurcated federal footprint. By award count, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (10 awards, $3.8 million combined potential value) dominates, followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (8 awards, $250 thousand) and FAA's Southwestern Region (8 awards, $626 thousand). By potential value, however, the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region anchors the portfolio with 3 awards worth $4.1 million combined — representing 36% of the vendor's total $11.5 million potential value across all sixty-one awards. The top five customer agencies account for 54% of award count and 78% of potential value. All work is performed in Puerto Rico, with 73% of combined potential value obligated.

Activity has declined markedly over the past five years, from four awards in 2018 and three in 2019 to one award in 2021, one in 2025, and two in 2026 (including the most recent awards in October 2026). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Place of performance encompasses multiple locations across Puerto Rico, including federal research stations, airports, and national historic sites.
