About DLS Engineering Associates Inc.
DLS Engineering Associates Inc., doing business as DLS Engineering, is a women-owned small business (WOSB) based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that operates predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) providing engineering services, program management, facilities support, and administrative consulting to federal civilian and defense agencies. The vendor competes across full-and-open and set-aside vehicles; recent activity shows heavy reliance on WOSB set-asides, most visibly two OASIS+ vehicles (women-owned and total small business IDIQs awarded in September and December 2024) and direct WOSB delivery orders through GSA's Multiple Award Schedule.
DLS Engineering's customer concentration splits sharply by dollars and volume. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard dominates award count with 109 awards totaling $301 million combined potential value, but Navy Naval Sea Systems Command commands the dollar rank — six awards carrying $13.96 billion in combined potential value, a massive disparity driven by a handful of major platform-support contracts. Department of Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command round out the top five by potential value, together accounting for 100% of the combined potential value across the portfolio. This concentration pattern reflects DLS Engineering's core business: the vendor is tightly integrated into Coast Guard maintenance and facilities work (109 awards spanning legacy IDIQs HSCG4705D3EFK21, HSCG3810D500003, and HSCG3808DJ00002, with 28, 19, and 18 task orders respectively) and serves as a significant prime on Navy shipbuilding and sustainment programs. Engineering services and administrative management consulting represent the top NAICS categories (37 and 34 awards respectively), with secondary concentrations in facilities support services and computer facilities management. On GSA Schedules, DLS Engineering holds positions under GS23F0067N and GS10F0370T with 14 and 13 task orders respectively.
Recent flagship work includes two massive vehicle positions awarded in late 2024 and early 2025: the OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ (September 2024, ceiling no dollar limit specified) and the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (December 2024, ceiling no dollar limit specified), both running through 2029 and 2030 respectively, each representing multi-year government-wide sourcing vehicles for federal agencies. DLS Engineering also holds a seat on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program — a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ awarded December 2025 for integrated defense systems work across research, development, prototyping, and production through 2035. On active delivery orders, DLS Engineering delivered $170,716 in program management support for the Air Force's $100 million TT Temporary Duty-to-School program under its GSA Schedule, and previously executed a $15 million delivery order for Air Education and Training Command subject matter expert support services.
Activity over the past five years shows sporadic volume (three awards per year in 2019–2020 and 2024–2025, one in 2026 year-to-date), but the two recent OASIS+ vehicle awards and the SHIELD IDIQ seat represent dramatic step-changes in potential-value exposure. Total awards across the portfolio number 206 (204 prime, 2 sub) with $14.54 billion in combined potential value, though only $130.7 million (1% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the front-loaded nature of IDV ceiling values. In its rare subcontractor role, DLS Engineering delivers Air Force network operations and intranet control support to Abacus Technology Corporation on two awards (February 2026 and June 2025). Service Contract Inventory captures only 7 records (all as named subcontractor, none as prime), covering FY2022–FY2024 with 10.8 FTEs in FY2022 declining to 8.2 FTEs by FY2024 — a minimal footprint relative to the prime-heavy award structure and an indicator that SCI-reportable service-contract work is a small piece of the vendor's federal delivery model. GSA labor categories (65 active categories) span $56.74 to $243.59 per hour with no security clearances required, positioning the vendor for civilian-agency professional services work across junior engineering, program management, quality assurance, and director-level roles.
