Dawson Solutions, Inc.

Dawson Solutions, LLC, a Native Hawaiian-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, delivers environmental remediation, facilities maintenance, construction services, and professional technical support to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) across a broad customer base dominated by defense and civilian environmental programs. The company operates as a subsidiary of Hawaiian Native Corporation, a minority-owned Native Hawaiian organization, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements rather than set-asides, though it maintains 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) eligibility across its vehicle portfolio.

Dawson Solutions holds three government-wide contract vehicles that anchor its federal footprint: the $999.999 billion OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 2024, expires December 2029) through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, the $1.136 billion SEER Chemical, Environmental, and Munitions Contract through the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (10-year term through October 2031), and the $800 million Aqueous Film Forming Foam Support Services contract also through the Army Corps of Engineers (through February 2029). A fourth vehicle, the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC, places Dawson on GSA's IT services roster through July 2026, though this vehicle carries lower task-order activity relative to the environmental and facilities contracts. The company also holds positions on dozens of agency-specific IDIQs and multiple-award schedules, including EPA's Cincinnati Operations and Maintenance contract (68HERC20D0020), Navy FACNET contracts for facilities work at Pearl Harbor and other installations, and Army Corps of Engineers environmental remediation vehicles across multiple districts.

Environmental remediation, facilities operations and maintenance, and HVAC/mechanical services dominate Dawson Solutions' service delivery footprint. Recent representative work includes $52.1 million for hazardous site assessments and fire-debris removal across 1,581 properties in Lahaina, Hawaii following the August 2023 fires (8(a) sole source, awarded October 2023); $29.7 million for environmental response operations at Joint Base Cape Cod under the SEER contract (September 2025); $23.2 million for munitions and explosives of concern removal and closure at former Camp Swift, Texas (8(a) sole source, August 2024); $20.1 million in logistical support and data analysis to the Army National Guard G4 directorate under OASIS SB (July 2022); and $14.1 million in professional support services to U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Finance and Administration (8(a) sole source, August 2023). Across the Navy contract vehicles, the company performs recurring HVAC maintenance, chiller repairs, piping work, and cooling-tower services at Pearl Harbor and other installations, with individual task orders typically ranging from $5,000 to $500,000. EPA facility work centers on Cincinnati-area operations and maintenance, including snow removal, LED lighting upgrades, cooling-tower repairs, asphalt and concrete rehabilitation, and hazardous-materials management at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center.

Customer concentration is acute. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for approximately 99% of the combined $62.57 billion portfolio value, driven by GSA's $60.01 billion OASIS+ Unrestricted vehicle ceiling. Excluding OASIS+ and other government-wide vehicles, the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville (via SEER and AFFF vehicles) anchors $1.96 billion in potential value; Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Savannah carries $68.2 million across 22 environmental remediation awards; Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection holds $46.2 million across 16 awards for environmental planning and monitoring; and Air Education and Training Command placed $45.3 million across four awards for engineering and emergency management support. By award count, the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Administration and Resource Management leads with 74 task orders ($33.4 million potential), followed by Naval Facilities Engineering Command with 60 awards ($42.4 million potential), reflecting Dawson Solutions' embedded role in recurring facilities maintenance at EPA and Navy installations. The sharp drop in award volume from 68 awards in 2022 to 12 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 signals either a consolidation of task orders into larger vehicles or a shift in contracting activity not yet captured in the source data; the 25 awards ($93.5 million potential) maturing within the next twenty-four months represent significant recompete exposure.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $19.4 million across FY2022–FY2024, with activity concentrated in FY2024 ($15.9 million invoiced across 71.8 FTEs). The FTE trajectory shows volatility—20.0 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 6.3 in FY2023, then rising to 48.7 in FY2024—reflecting the uneven timing of large environmental remediation projects and emergency response work. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts span from $69.32/hr at the 10th percentile to $1,047.24/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $142.58/hr, indicating a labor mix spanning field technicians and equipment operators at the lower end through senior subject-matter experts and program managers at the upper end. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 15% of contractor hours, with six named subcontractors including Chemical Response & Remediation Contractors, Inc. (chemical waste services), WM Ambienta, Inc. (queen conch surveys and planning), Bio-Studies Inc. (wetland delineation and surveys), HWA Wildlife Consulting, LLC (migratory bird and wetland surveys), and others. The sub-engagement share is modest, indicating Dawson Solutions typically self-performs the core work and brings in specialized vendors for narrowly defined technical tasks.

On the GSA Schedule, Dawson Solutions offers 66 active labor categories ranging from $38.20/hr (Journeyman Public Relations Specialist) to $238.94/hr (Subject Matter Expert), with pricing graded by experience, education, and specialty. Environmental scientists junior-level start at $74.12/hr, certified industrial hygienists at $130.67/hr, and specialized roles such as geophysicists for unexploded ordnance projects at $113.23/hr. Security clearance requirements are limited to select professional roles; most categories require high school to bachelor's education with 0–10 years of experience, aligning with the company's established labor-rate posture on federal service contracts.

Teaming relationships show Dawson Solutions as a prime on virtually all work, with Aptim Federal Services, LLC (oil and gas support services), BL Harbert International LLC (weapons-generation facility construction support), and Universal Solutions International, Incorporated (Air Force Civil Engineering Center advisory services) representing named primes under which Dawson subcontracts. This subcontractor footprint is minimal relative to the company's $62.57 billion prime portfolio, confirming Dawson as a prime-focused contractor rather than a sub-feeder operation.

The company's award portfolio is heavily weighted toward full-and-open competition on non-set-aside vehicles, though the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, OASIS SB participation, and recurrent 8(a) sole-source awards on environmental contracts reflect strategic use of small-business set-asides where applicable. Across the past several years, Dawson Solutions has secured consistent task-order flow from core customers in environmental remediation, facilities maintenance, and technical professional services, with the largest dollar concentrations anchored in multi-billion-dollar government-wide vehicles that position the company to compete across all major federal agencies. The recent award of the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (December 2024) signals GSA's confidence in the company's ability to deliver broadly scoped professional and technical services, expanding its addressable market beyond the environmental and facilities domains where it has historically concentrated.

Dawson Solutions, LLC is an SBA Certified NHO-Owned federal contractor providing environmental consulting, engineering services, remediate properties contaminated with munitions and explosives of concern, contract management, business management, project and program management, and federal acquisition support or services, with CMMC-2 Certification.
