Destination Zero, LLC

Destination Zero, LLC, doing business as Technical Safety Specialist, is a veteran-owned small business based in Vidalia, Georgia, that provides boiler and pressure vessel inspection, maintenance, and emergency repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, with 180 federal awards spanning over two decades and a current portfolio valued at $13.4 million in combined potential value.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated among Department of Veterans Affairs regional medical centers (Veterans Integrated Service Networks 1, 4, 6, 7, and 10), which account for 38% of the top-five customer ranking by award count and collectively represent the largest single-agency customer cluster. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard ranks second by potential value with 13 awards ($1.4 million), and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education and Navajo Region operations account for six awards ($1.3 million and $1.4 million respectively) following recent expansion into tribal facility servicing. The top five customers by combined potential value represent 51% of the vendor's total potential value across 33 distinct customer agencies, indicating moderate concentration with meaningful exposure across the federal facility maintenance landscape.

Destination Zero delivers work under five named parent indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements, with the Coast Guard IDC HSCG8306D3WF322 anchoring the largest vehicle with 13 task orders ($846 thousand combined potential value), followed by a VA IDC and three smaller vehicles. Representative prime awards include a $730,522 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Education for annual boiler inspections at 66 BIE schools and 9 BIA locations across the Navajo region (awarded May 2025, ultimate completion May 2030); a $250,995 definitive contract from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 for emergency boiler safety device repairs at a West Haven medical facility (awarded April 2022, completed December 2022); and a $21,500 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Department of the Interior for periodic pressure vessel inspections at the Stewart Lee Udall Building in Washington, DC (awarded May 2026, completion May 2031).

Award activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026 — rather than reflecting consistent pipeline momentum. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows only two SCI-reportable records (both as prime) totaling $621 thousand invoiced in FY2024 across 1.6 FTEs, indicating that most of Destination Zero's federal work falls below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. On the SCI-reportable contract captured, government-paid rates ran $191.78 per hour. The vendor performs its own work without named subcontractors, as evidenced by zero sub-hours share across SCI prime records and the 100% prime-award footprint across the full award portfolio. NAICS concentration skews toward plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (43 awards), followed by machinery and equipment repair and maintenance (31 awards) and testing laboratory services (28 awards), with PSC coding concentrated on plumbing and heating equipment inspection and maintenance.
