Kaiva Services, LLC

Kaiva Services, LLC, a tribally-owned, minority-owned small business operating under parent company Kaiva Corporation, delivers facility maintenance and repair, IT infrastructure, physical and electronic security systems, and specialized technology solutions to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) primarily through 8(a) sole-source and Buy Indian set-asides. Headquartered in Ivins, Utah, and incorporated as a tax-exempt entity, Kaiva Services holds active SBA certifications as an 8(a) Program Participant (expiring February 14, 2030) and HUBZone firm, with seven named joint-venture subsidiaries spanning construction, IT infrastructure, and specialized contracting.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward civilian health and infrastructure agencies. The top five customers by award count—the Indian Health Service (76 awards, $34.6 million), the National Park Service National Office (48 awards, $17.1 million), the HHS Office of the Inspector General (26 awards, $29.8 million), the Bureau of Indian Education (10 awards, $2.2 million), and the USDA Forest Service (9 awards, $17.7 million)—account for 75% of awards. The potential-value rankings diverge sharply: the Army's PEO Ammunition dominates dollars ($69.4 million across two awards) despite minimal award count, followed by IHS ($34.6 million) and OIG ($29.8 million). The Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center anchors $26.2 million in just two awards. This concentration reflects a portfolio skewed toward a small number of high-ceiling indefinite delivery contracts alongside numerous smaller facility maintenance and IT equipment purchases.

Recent capability work demonstrates breadth across six major service lines. IHS awards dominate by count and include a $1.8 billion network infrastructure refresh at Billings, Montana (September 2026), a $2.7 million video surveillance systems contract at Kayenta Service Unit (February 2026), a $1.376 billion CCTV upgrade at Western and Yuma facilities (July 2023), and a $930.8 thousand task order for Lenel and Milestone access control services in Aberdeen, South Dakota (May 2025). The National Park Service portfolio centers on facility maintenance: a $1.189 billion HVAC maintenance contract for the National Mall (March 2024), facility repairs totaling hundreds of thousands across multiple parks, and emergency waterline and roof repairs. The HHS OIG contract vehicle ($24 million, August 2024 through August 2027) funds Electronic Physical Access Control System (EPACS) installations and physical security services nationwide, with task orders for EPACS deployments in Boston ($412.8 thousand, September 2024), Tallahassee ($104.2 thousand, September 2024), San Diego ($56.9 thousand, September 2024), and system engineering administration ($361.3 thousand, September 2026). Department of Army PEO Ammunition awarded a $34.7 million competitive 8(a) IDIQ (August 2025 through August 2030) for 105mm M1 ammunition wood-box packaging. The Naval Air Warfare Center established a $20 million 8(a) sole-source indefinite delivery contract (July 2025 through July 2030) for corrosion training and facility services (COECF mobilization) at Chesapeake, Virginia, with an initial delivery order for $6.16 million invoicing $2.2 million in FY2025.

Kaiva Services holds eight parent contract vehicles anchoring recurring revenue. The two largest are Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $24 million single-award 8(a) sole-source vehicle with HHS OIG for physical security services nationwide (25 task orders, $5.8 million combined potential value), and a $20 million single-award 8(a) sole-source vehicle with Naval Air Warfare Center for corrosion training and facility services (1 task order on record). The National Office's $7.5 million single-award 8(a) sole-source HVAC maintenance contract (September 2025 through September 2030) supports Washington, DC-area facilities. The Indian Health Service holds a $9.2 million single-award IDIQ for FIPS-201 and HSPD-12 compliant physical access control and surveillance systems in the Great Plains Area (3 task orders, $906 thousand potential value). The IHS also established a $330 thousand single-award BPA for LAN/HDMI drops and switch/router installation (2 task orders, $100 thousand), and a $200 thousand single-award BPA for similar network and AV installation services (2 task orders). The Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security maintains a $3.7 million single-award 8(a) sole-source IDC for locks and lock components (March 2022 through March 2027). A new $10 million multiple-award Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise construction MATOC (June 2026 through November 2031) positions Kaiva Services as one of up to twelve awardees for design-build and design-bid-build services across nine IHS regions. A $34.7 million Army ammunition packaging IDIQ (August 2025 through August 2030) rounds out the major vehicles.

Activity has grown substantially year over year—26 awards in 2022, 33 in 2023, 64 in 2024, 45 in 2025, and 46 in 2026—driven largely by the few large IDIQ awards ($34.7 million Army ammunition, $24 million HHS OIG, $20 million Naval Air Warfare Center) issued in 2025–2026 that push nominal potential value to $256.8 million, though only $91.2 million (36%) has been obligated. Forty-one awards (combined potential value $43.3 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting significant recompete risk concentrated in IHS facility and IT infrastructure work, National Park Service maintenance contracts, and smaller National Office HVAC task orders.

Service Contract Inventory reporting reveals a narrower view of Kaiva Services' service delivery footprint: $11.3 million invoiced in FY2024, $6.7 million in FY2025, across roughly 2.0 FTEs in FY2025, with government-paid hourly rates ranging from $160/hr at the 10th percentile to $1,741/hr at the 90th percentile (median $290/hr). These rates span labor-intensive field operations (plumbing, HVAC repair, electrical installation) at lower rates and specialized security systems engineering and program management at higher rates. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 35% of delivered hours on average, with 17 named subcontractors engaged. This sub-engagement level indicates Kaiva Services operates with mixed make-versus-buy strategy: direct execution of facility maintenance and IT equipment installation, with augmentation through specialty subcontractors for design-build construction, security systems integration, and specialized training delivery.

Kaiva Services competes almost exclusively under set-aside authority—8(a) Sole Source, Competitive 8(a), Buy Indian, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, and HUBZone dominate the award list—and does not pursue full-and-open competition. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of awards), with minimal sub work (one sub-award to Kaiva-Signature JV, LLC under its own parent structure, and one sub-award to Razor Consulting Solutions). This posture positions Kaiva Services as a direct-delivery tribal prime vendor to federal agencies rather than a feeder to larger integrators.

The category concentration spans six primary NAICS codes: Electrical Contractors (45 awards), Other Computer Related Services (37 awards), Facilities Support Services (33 awards), Plumbing/HVAC Contractors (15 awards), and Security Systems Services (14 awards). Performance occurs nationwide with administrative headquarters in Ivins, Utah; work sites include Washington, DC area (facility maintenance), multiple IHS service areas (Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Minnesota), National Park Service locations across the continental US, military installations (Edwards Air Force Base, Beale Air Force Base, Fort Necessity), and federal office buildings. The seven subsidiary entities registered with SAM suggest teaming strategies for larger JV pursuits, particularly in construction and specialized services where prime contractor capacity or bonding constraints would otherwise limit Kaiva Services' access to larger awards.
