Genwest Systems Inc.

Genwest Systems Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Edmonds, Washington, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering environmental science, marine response, data management, and emergency preparedness services to federal agencies on GSA Schedules and agency-specific vehicles. The company holds SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), expiring July 8, 2028, and competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides on its single-award BPAs with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though it also wins full-and-open delivery orders under the multi-award ProTech 2.0 - Oceans Domain IDIQ.

Genwest's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely within a single customer. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 242 of 304 recent awards (85% of the award count) with a combined potential value of $8.2 billion — nearly all of the vendor's total potential value across all federal sources. This extreme concentration reflects Genwest's positioning as a specialized NOAA contractor rather than a broad-based federal services provider. Other named customers — the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the Department of the Navy, and the Environmental Protection Agency — represent single-digit awards with minimal dollar magnitude.

Genwest holds four principal parent vehicles. A single-award SDVOSB-reserved BPA awarded May 14, 2025, carries a $17 million ceiling through May 13, 2030, and covers incident response, preparedness and planning, marine debris management, data management, and facility support across NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration; five call orders have been issued, including a $9.8 million incident response and preparedness call (July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2030) and a $2.8 million data management and application development call for the Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program (August 20, 2025, through February 19, 2027). An older $10.9 million single-award BPA awarded March 1, 2023, runs through February 28, 2025, and has been substantially exercised against five call orders for spatial data branch support, Deepwater Horizon long-term data management, marine debris monitoring, and incident response preparedness. Genwest is a prime on the multi-award ProTech 2.0 - Oceans Domain IDIQ ($8 billion total ceiling, small-business set-aside, completion April 18, 2029), where it has received three delivery orders totaling approximately $7.85 million through October 2024 for FOIA support ($606 thousand, completion September 30, 2029), West Coast Region scientific and technical support ($2.4 million, completion April 30, 2029), and hatchery genetic management and environmental compliance reviews for Puget Sound and Columbia River regions ($4.84 million, completion June 8, 2029). The vendor also holds a $26.5 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (multiple-award vehicle, ceiling through March 9, 2027) under SINs spanning budget and financial management, GIS, IT, environmental consulting, business information, and training services, with labor categories priced from $68.79/hr (information technician entry level, no clearance) through $407.88/hr (senior subject matter expert, doctorate).

Genwest's capability portfolio centers on environmental science and marine operations for civilian coastal agencies. Named representative work includes the $9.8 million incident response and preparedness call spanning emergency incident management, exercises, and preparedness planning for NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration; the $2.8 million data management and application development support for NOAA's Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program; a $4.84 million delivery order providing hatchery genetic management plans and National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act compliance reviews for West Coast Region salmon restoration programs; a $1.025 million marine debris response, assessment, and support services call; and multiple legacy call orders for Deepwater Horizon long-term data management, marine debris monitoring and assessment, and Block 59 Loop Spill emergency response. Work locations span NOAA facilities nationwide, with concentrations in Silver Spring, Maryland; Seattle and Woodway, Washington; and Mobile, Alabama.

Award activity has declined from a peak of seven awards in 2023 to two awards in 2026 year to date, with four awards (combined potential value $4.5 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data, which captures federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, shows $21.2 million in invoiced revenue across 28 prime records spanning FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $8.5 million, 42.4 FTEs; FY2023: $7.8 million, 39.8 FTEs; FY2024: $4.9 million, 23.2 FTEs), with an FTE trajectory declining toward smaller team deliveries. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates run approximately $102.53/hr, with the 10th percentile at $86.54/hr and the 90th percentile at $131.33/hr; the vendor does not report subcontractor hours and delivers work entirely through its own staff. Genwest competes as a pure prime — it has no sub-award history in the source — and does not appear on other primes' subcontractor rosters.
