Gateway To Outdoor Solutions, LLC

Gateway To Outdoor Solutions, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Festus, Missouri, provides cemetery grounds maintenance and landscaping services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration as a prime contractor, with 100% of its recent award footprint concentrated in SDVOSB-set-aside and full-and-open procurements for the VA.

Gateway operates as a limited liability company under NAICS 541900 (Landscaping Services) and PSC J103 (Housekeeping — Landscaping/Groundskeeping), delivering comprehensive cemetery stewardship including mowing, trimming, fertilization, herbicide application, headstone maintenance, aeration, overseeding, sod installation, grave repairs, tree removal, and shrine restoration projects. The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: 69 of 74 total awards (93%) flow to the National Cemetery Administration, representing $42.7 million of the $43.2 million combined potential value across all recent awards. Remaining awards are scattered across the Army Reserve Command, the Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 15, and the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service — all sub-$400 thousand individually.

The primary vehicle anchoring recent activity is a $5.056 million single-award SDVOSB-set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded April 1, 2025, covering grounds maintenance at Danville National Cemetery, Illinois through March 31, 2030. Since award, the National Cemetery Administration has issued six delivery orders under this IDC totaling approximately $714,623, including a $244,575 base-year order (April–September 2025, extended through December 2025), a $349,400 delivery order (September 2025–December 2025), a $78,000 order (December 2025–March 2026), a $43,498 order (March–March 2027), a $229,650 order (April 2026), and an $8,000 order (June 2026). Gateway also maintains positions on four legacy VA IDCs (36C78620D0074, 36C78625D50190, 36C78619D0088, 36C78619D0049) carrying 32 task orders combined and $6.6 million in combined potential value, the bulk of which has completed. Activity has accelerated slightly in the most recent two years — four awards in 2025 and five in 2026 — though the broader footprint shows sporadic ordering over a fifteen-year vendor tenure with the VA dating to at least 2011. Five awards (combined potential value $539 thousand) reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor performs all work independently with no identified subcontractors and does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles, multi-agency IDIQs, or GWACs; its footprint is entirely dependent on the single dominant customer.
