Genwest Systems Inc.

Genwest Systems Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Edmonds, Washington, delivers environmental science, marine emergency response, data management, and technical consulting services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor—305 awards, zero subcontracted work. The company holds SDVOSB and veteran-owned small business certifications expiring July 8, 2028, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides across a $26.5 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule and multiple NOAA blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme and decision-flipping: the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration represents 243 of 305 awards (80% of the portfolio) with $8.2 billion in combined potential value. This dominance is structural, not transactional—NOAA is the only customer generating significant federal funding leverage. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second by dollar value at $82.2 million (two awards: the $26.5 million Multiple Award Schedule contract and related vehicles), but GSA volume is negligible by count (2 awards of 305). The Department of the Interior, Department of the Navy, and Environmental Protection Agency account for the remaining 15% of awards and 0.2% of potential value.

Genwest operates from a portfolio of parent vehicles anchored to NOAA mission needs. The vendor holds a $17 million single-award SDVOSB-reserved Blanket Purchase Agreement for emergency response and restoration support services (established May 14, 2025, through May 13, 2030) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with five active call orders covering incident response, preparedness and planning, marine debris management, data management for the Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program, and BSEE/NOAA GNOME and EDSP tool updates. The vendor participates in the $8 billion ProTech 2.0 Oceans Domain multiple-award IDIQ (awarded April 18, 2024, through April 28, 2029) as a total small-business set-aside awardee, against which NOAA has issued three delivery orders totaling $7.85 million: a $4.84 million delivery order (July 30, 2024) for West Coast Region hatchery genetic management plans and National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act reviews, a $2.4 million delivery order (July 30, 2024) for scientific and technical support, and a $606 thousand delivery order (October 1, 2024) for FOIA support. The vendor also held a $10.9 million single-award SDVOSB-reserved BPA (March 1, 2023, through February 28, 2025, now expired) supporting spatial data branch case and technical methods, Deepwater Horizon long-term data management, marine debris monitoring and assessment, incident response preparedness, and incident response and exercises, issued against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Across the top three parent vehicles (Multiple Award Schedule, ProTech 2.0 Oceans Domain IDIQ, and The Professional Services Schedule), the vendor has placed 216 task orders with combined potential value of $262 million.

Recent representative work includes a $9.78 million time-and-materials BPA call (awarded July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2030) for incident response and preparedness support in Silver Spring, Maryland; a $4.84 million firm-fixed-price delivery order (awarded July 30, 2024, through June 8, 2029) for hatchery genetic management planning and environmental compliance reviews in Seattle; a $3.04 million time-and-materials call (awarded August 20, 2025, through August 19, 2027) for data management and application development to the Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program in Seattle; a $687 thousand time-and-materials BPA call (awarded August 17, 2026, through August 17, 2027) for Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations support in Silver Spring; and a $437 thousand time-and-materials call (awarded June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028) for BSEE/NOAA GNOME and EDSP tool updates in Silver Spring. Capability framing across awards centers on emergency response coordination (oil spill and hurricane incident response, assessments, and restoration), marine debris monitoring and management, environmental compliance engineering under National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act, long-term environmental data management (especially Deepwater Horizon legacy work), and technical support to NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration and National Marine Fisheries Service.

Activity has contracted year over year: four awards in 2022, declining to three in 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months exposes four awards with combined potential value of $5.2 million, primarily from the expired or expiring 2023 BPA structure and calls closing out in 2025 and 2026. The vendor's SCI-reported invoiced revenue declined from $8.5 million in FY2022 to $4.5 million in FY2025 across a federal workforce that fell from 42.4 FTEs to 19.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts run a median of $102.53 per hour, with rates spanning $86.54 per hour (10th percentile) through $131.33 per hour (90th percentile). Genwest's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 26 categories from information technician roles ($68.79/hr, associate degree, no experience) through senior subject-matter expert positions ($407.88/hr, doctorate, thirteen years of experience), with scientist, analyst, program manager, and specialist roles across the spectrum; no subcontractor activity is reported on SCI contracts, and the company self-performs all federal service delivery.

Genwest operates as a pure NOAA contractor—structural customer concentration creates singular pursue-or-skip logic for competitive intelligence and partnership analysis. The recompete cliff and five-year FTE decline signal either contract ramp-down or shift in NOAA procurement strategy. The vendor's exclusive SDVOSB posture and zero-sub footprint position it as a feeder into larger NOAA prime relationships rather than a teaming lead or multi-agency growth vehicle.
