Dowl, LLC

Dowl, LLC, a professional services firm headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, delivers surveying, engineering, environmental assessment, and architectural design services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) competing on an unrestricted basis with no socioeconomic set-asides. The company is a for-profit limited liability company with offices in Bellevue and Redmond, Washington, and operates subsidiaries including Dowl-Wsp JV; across its 548 federal awards in the source dataset spanning the past four decades, Dowl has concentrated its work in surveying and mapping services (132 awards) and broader engineering services (288 awards) supporting military construction, civil works infrastructure, and environmental initiatives.

Dowl's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District (ENDIST Alaska), which accounts for 255 awards and $32.7 million in combined potential value — representing 80% of the top-customer award count and 48% of total combined potential value across all 548 awards. The General Services Administration anchors the second-largest potential-value position at $11 million (a single award), followed by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 ($5.7 million across 6 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R10-Alaska Region ($3.2 million across 12 awards). Beyond ENDIST Alaska's dominance, the Department of the Army placed 134 awards (though with minimal dollar volume), the U.S. Coast Guard 23 awards, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service 10 awards. Work is performed across Alaska and subordinate facilities at Eielson Air Force Base, Fort Wainwright, and Elmendorf Air Force Base, with some projects extending to the western United States and isolated locations including Hawaii and South Dakota.

Dowl holds its primary vehicle position through a $9.5 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with ENDIST Alaska awarded on March 16, 2022, with ultimate completion March 15, 2027. Under this IDIQ, Dowl has executed 21 delivery orders (from the detailed award list provided) ranging from $6,041 to $147,669, with individual task orders typically valued between $20,000 and $150,000. The parent vehicle blocks indicate Dowl places task orders under five additional legacy IDIQ vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract W911KB04D0001 (70 task orders, $693 thousand combined value), Indefinite Delivery Contract DACA8501D0001 (64 task orders, no dollar total provided), Indefinite Delivery Contract W911KB11D0003 (59 task orders, $3.5 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W911KB07D0001 (50 task orders, $1.9 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W911KB16D0006 (46 task orders, $2.7 million). These five vehicles alone account for 289 task orders. Dowl also holds a GSA Federal Acquisition Service vehicle position valued at $11 million. Representative recent work includes a $236,727 delivery order from ENDIST Alaska for programming and pallet processing facility work at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (April 2, 2026), a $147,669 Copper River Aerial LiDAR survey near Glennallen (August 29, 2024), a $382,042 Title III services contract with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge (March 7, 2023), and a $406,306 Title III construction contract with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 for Huron, South Dakota (June 29, 2022).

Activity has declined over the recent period: 14 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $330 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure relative to Dowl's historical volume. Service Contract Inventory data captures minimal federal services work above the $150,000 threshold — $61 thousand in FY2023 — with no FTE trajectory recorded, reflecting that SCI's reporting threshold and scope do not encompass the majority of Dowl's surveying and mapping deliverables.

Dowl operates as a prime contractor across nearly all of its federal awards (99%). The source data shows four sub-award positions with Glacier Construction Inc. (rock dowel professional engineering services on the AK PFH 58(1) Neck Lake Road Reconstruction, May 16, 2025), AECOM Technical Services Inc. (land surveying on the 23 ADAK PFAS RI/FS IPCE, July 3, 2024, and environmental consulting for an Izembek National Wildlife Refuge EIS, January 16, 2024), and Watterson Construction Co (civil design services on the FTW453 Physical Fitness Center at Fort Wainwright, March 20, 2024). The sub footprint is negligible relative to Dowl's prime presence and suggests the company builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractor capacity. The broader award portfolio framing — topographic surveys, LiDAR mapping, hydrographic surveys, and engineering design support — reflects Dowl's positioning as a regional specialist in Alaska-focused infrastructure assessment and design services with established relationships across military and civil works federal customers.
