Goldbelt C6, LLC

Goldbelt C6, LLC, a subsidiary of Goldbelt, Incorporated, competes as a prime contractor delivering staffing augmentation, professional services, scientific research support, and maritime operations expertise to federal civilian and defense agencies primarily through 8(a) and full-and-open competitive delivery orders placed against its own indefinite delivery contracts. The company is an Alaska Native Corporation-owned, 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, with 241 recent prime awards totaling $51.85 billion in combined potential value, though only $424.8 million has been obligated to date (reflecting the backlog-heavy nature of large government-wide vehicles and indefinite delivery contracts).

Goldbelt C6's customer concentration anchors to the Department of Health and Human Services—the Food and Drug Administration leads by award count with 85 awards valued at $81.7 million, followed by CDC Pittsburgh with 17 awards worth $176 million—but the dollar concentration tells a different story: GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates potential value at $50.03 billion across four awards, driven by the 8(a) STARS III government-wide acquisition contract seat. The Department of State, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Defense Health Agency round out the top five customers by dollars. State Department task orders under the contractor's $137.5 million single-award staffing IDC (awarded February 2022, expiring January 2027) have generated substantial volume across the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (19 awards, $15.6 million), the Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor (17 awards, $33.5 million), and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (80 task orders under IDC 19AQMM22D0021, $106.8 million combined potential value). Coast Guard awards span engineering and sustainment support for Vessel Traffic Services (a $25 million single-award IDIQ awarded September 2023) and hazardous materials support (a $9.88 million IDIQ awarded April 2023). The Defense Health Agency's Omnibus IV military medical research and development contract has anchored $58 million in recent awards for blast-induced neurotrauma research, hearing center operations, and test engineering support.

Goldbelt C6 operates across six prime indefinite delivery contracts and participates in the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC. The top vehicles by task-order volume are the $137.5 million State Department staffing IDC (80 task orders), the $20 million FDA research and development support services contract (45 task orders), and the $75 million Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs IDC (37 task orders). The contractor's capability footprint centers on staffing and solutions support—junior and senior program officers, policy advisors, administrative assistants, analysts, and subject matter experts serving State Department bureaus—alongside scientific research delivery: toxicology research, food safety analysis, dietary ingredient reviews, cosmetic safety assessment, pathogen detection, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and diarrheal disease research for FDA and the Defense Health Agency. Representative work includes a $27.66 million delivery order from the Defense Health Agency for Hearing Center of Excellence support services (awarded September 2024, completing February 2029); a $19.89 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order for blast-induced neurotrauma research and analysis at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (awarded November 2024, completing August 2029); a $10.22 million 8(a) Sole Source delivery order from the Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor for professional services to the F Directorates (awarded February 2026, completing January 2028); a $6.2 million full-and-open delivery order from the Coast Guard for Vessel Traffic Services software and system administrative services (awarded December 2025, completing August 2029); and recurring FDA research support delivery orders totaling over $30 million cumulatively across toxicology, food safety, and regulatory science domains.

Set-aside posture is mixed. Goldbelt C6 competes predominantly under 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) designations where set-asides apply—the State Department staffing IDC and subordinate task orders, the CDC and FDA work, and the Air Force PMEL II contract all carry 8(a) or total small business set-asides—but also wins substantial work on full-and-open competitive basis without set-aside designation, notably Coast Guard VTS awards and numerous State Department bureau task orders. About 65% of the vendor's award count is concentrated in the top five customer agencies; by potential dollar value, the concentration shifts dramatically toward GSA STARS III and large single-award vehicles held with State, DoD, and Coast Guard.

Activity trajectory shows consistent volume through 2023 (53 awards in FY2023) declining sharply to 41 awards in FY2024 and only 7 awards through mid-2026, reflecting the maturing nature of large IDIQs issued in 2021–2023 now generating task orders rather than new prime awards. Fifty-six awards with potential combined value of $251.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure and opportunity for competing vendors to displace the contractor on State Department staffing, FDA research support, and Coast Guard VTS vehicles.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue reached $36.6 million in FY2024 across 253 FTEs—up from $22.1 million and 232 FTEs in FY2023—reflecting scaling of staffing delivery and research support operations. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts span a wide spectrum: 10th percentile $4.18 per hour (likely administrative assistant positions), median $45.34 per hour (program officer and analyst roles), and 90th percentile $76.73 per hour (senior staff and specialized scientists). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Goldbelt C6 self-performed approximately 90% of contractor hours; 53 named subcontractors were engaged at an average sub-hours share of 10%, indicating the vendor builds most delivery internally but engages specialized subs for targeted capability gaps in staffing and field-level work.

Goldbelt C6 operates exclusively as a prime contractor—241 prime awards, zero sub-awards in the source data—positioning it as a direct federal customer relationship owner rather than a sub feeder to larger integrators. The contractor brings Alaska Native Corporation ownership, 8(a) certification, and established relationships with State Department, CDC, FDA, Coast Guard, and Defense Health Agency through both ongoing IDIQ vehicles and competitive task order wins. Recompete cliff exposure across staffing, research support, and maritime operations work through 2026–2027 creates near-term partner and displacement opportunities for competitors and prime contractors seeking teaming or organic capability augmentation in staffing, toxicology, food safety analysis, and program management domains.
