Lakota Solutions LLC

Lakota Solutions LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business headquartered in Sitka, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor across defense agencies, delivering equipment maintenance, logistics support, construction, facility operations, and mission support services through a portfolio of single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts. The company holds SBA 8(a) Business Development Program certification and self-certified small disadvantaged business status, with set-aside work split between competitive and sole-source 8(a) procurements; recent activity shows Lakota competing both under set-asides and full-and-open competitions across its prime vehicle base.

Lakota's capability portfolio centers on corrective and preventative maintenance of material handling equipment at distribution facilities, aerospace ground equipment support at Air Force installations, unit-level equipment and systems maintenance for the Army at Fort Drum, facility construction and upgrades for Navy installations, and labor and logistics support services at DLA distribution centers. Representative awards include a $32.8 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency for labor and logistics support at DLA Distribution Norfolk and DLA Land & Maritime at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (awarded April 2024, competitive 8(a), Portsmouth, Virginia); a $49 million single-award contract with the Air Force Materiel Command for aerospace ground equipment maintenance at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (awarded February 2023, competitive 8(a), with annual delivery orders running $5.6 million to $5.9 million); and a $6.3 million single-award contract with the Army Sustainment Command for missile defense mission support services at Fort Drum, New York (awarded December 2024, 8(a) sole-source).

Customer concentration is pronounced: the top five agencies by award count account for 72 percent of recent awards, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (68 awards, $101.9 million combined potential value), the Army Forces Command (20 awards, $29.2 million), the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (15 awards, $11.7 million), the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (14 awards, $20.7 million), and the Navy Installations Command (8 awards, $1.8 million). By potential value, however, the concentration is extreme: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors 100 percent of combined potential value through Lakota's position on the 8(a) STARS III governmentwide acquisition contract (1 award, $50 billion ceiling, awarded June 2022, competitive 8(a), through July 2026). The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution ranks second by potential value at $101.9 million, followed by the Air Force Materiel Command at $80 million across seven awards.

Lakota holds five named parent vehicles: a $32.8 million DLA single-award IDC (37 task orders, $15.6 million obligated); a $6.3 million Army Sustainment Command IDC (multiple delivery orders for MDRS-AFSBN); the $49 million Air Force Materiel Command AGE maintenance contract (three consecutive annual delivery orders); a $4.5 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command single-award IDC for general construction (three delivery orders, $711 thousand obligated); a $6.13 million Army Northeast Region IDC for Fort Drum missile defense mission support (four delivery orders); and a position on the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III GWAC accessible government-wide. The company also recently qualified for a $151 billion multiple-award Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract awarded December 2025, with an initial $500 delivery order.

Award trajectory has been volatile: 18 awards in 2022, rising to 22 in 2023 and 21 in 2024, then declining to 14 in 2025 and 3 in the first quarter of 2026. Nine awards (combined potential value $15.9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the company.

SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $3.7 million in FY2023 and $5.8 million in FY2024, with no SCI records in FY2022. The SCI dataset reflects roughly 26.1 FTEs delivered in FY2023 and 31.7 FTEs in FY2024 across the two prime contracts captured. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ran a median of $70.84 per hour, with rates spanning $55.51/hr at the tenth percentile to $93.00/hr at the ninety-fifth percentile. Lakota performs 100 percent of its work on SCI-reportable prime contracts with its own labor—zero subcontractor engagement within the SCI dataset. All 174 awards in the source are prime awards; the company has not executed subcontractor work captured in federal award repositories.

Lakota Solutions LLC operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary under parent company Shee Atika Commercial Services, LLC, also an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned, minority-owned, 8(a)-certified firm. The geographic concentration of awards reflects Lakota's operational footprint: DLA Distribution facilities across the United States (Warner Robins, Georgia; Bremerton, Washington; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Corpus Christi, Texas; Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania; Texarkana, Texas); Air Force operations at Eglin, Florida; Army installations at Fort Drum, New York; and Navy facilities in Jacksonville, Florida and the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. The company operates across a narrowly focused NAICS and PSC profile: 79 awards carry NAICS 332710 (machinery and equipment repair and maintenance), 25 awards carry NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), and 20 awards carry NAICS 811111 (general automotive repair). Correspondingly, 51 awards cluster under PSC 4940 (material handling equipment maintenance and repair), 21 under PSC 4970 (motor vehicle maintenance), and 11 under PSC 4950 (miscellaneous materials handling).
