Hunt Vac Services, LLC

Hunt Vac Services, LLC, a St. Louis, Missouri-based small disadvantaged woman-owned business, operates as a prime contractor providing maritime vessel maintenance and sewage system services to the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal agencies under total small business set-aside purchase orders. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned business; it competes exclusively under set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurement.

Hunt Vac Services' capability portfolio centers on specialized maritime vessel system maintenance, including dockside sewage and gray water system flushing, hydro-blasting, diesel tank pumping and inspection, and comprehensive sanitation system cleaning. Recent representative work includes a $7,489.30 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Coast Guard for dockside sewage flush services on the CGC Kickapoo (April 2026, total small business set-aside), a $38,926 purchase order for sewage and gray water flush and cleaning on the USCG Cutter Wyaconda (April 2025, total small business set-aside), and an $8,445 purchase order for diesel tank pumping, cleaning, and inspection on the CGC Obion (March 2025, total small business set-aside). The company has executed work across multiple Coast Guard cutters including the USCGC Kanawha, CGC Cheyenne, CGC St. Louis, CGC Cimarron, and CGC Obion since 2021.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Coast Guard. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 17 awards and $225 thousand in combined potential value (81% by award count), while the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service R9-Eastern Region and the Department of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command each hold 2 awards representing $917 thousand and $58 thousand respectively. Hunt Vac Services operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract engagement. The combined federal award footprint totals $1.2 million in potential value across 21 purchase orders since 2016, with $1.2 million fully obligated. Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, one in 2024, and two each in 2025 and 2026 — with only one award (the CGC Kickapoo dockside sewage flush, $7 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. NAICS coding reflects the specialized nature of the work: Ship Building and Repairing (7 awards), Septic Tank and Related Services (4 awards), and Solid Waste Collection and Hazardous Waste Treatment services rounding out the remainder.
