About the company
Makwa Global Security Solutions, LLC, an SBA 8(a)-certified tribally owned and minority-owned small business based in McLean, Virginia, delivers international law enforcement advisory services, overseas staffing support, and criminal justice training to the Department of State as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards held as prime positions. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source designations account for the vast majority of prime awards) and holds a $100.3 million indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for overseas staffing services, complemented by a $6.5 million Criminal Justice Expertise Program blanket purchase agreement with the Office of Acquisition Management.
Makwa's customer footprint is highly concentrated within the Department of State, which accounts for 100% of identified awards across four internal agencies. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security anchors the relationship by dollar value, with four awards totaling $249.4 million in combined potential value, led by a $100 million 8(a) sole-source indefinite delivery contract for overseas staffing (awarded September 30, 2022, through September 29, 2026) and a $36.2 million delivery order issued September 30, 2026, under that parent vehicle. The Office of Acquisition Management drives volume with 30 awards totaling $34.4 million, concentrated under the Criminal Justice Expertise Program BPA ($6.5 million vehicle, 38 task orders). The Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement contributes 10 awards worth $1.6 million. The Air Force represents a single outlier: a $25.9 million firm fixed-price definitive contract for Agile SSD and agile engineering support, issued September 29, 2023, with ultimate completion January 28, 2027, set under an 8(a) sole-source designation.
Makwa's capability portfolio centers on international law enforcement advisory services, overseas staffing deployment, criminal justice training design and delivery, and supporting services to diplomatic missions. Representative work spans regional corrections training in Morocco, subject matter expert tactical trainers in Haiti, criminal justice and cybercrime advisory services in Nigeria, justice assessments in Mauritania, women-in-leadership training in Vietnam, and educational and construction engineering advisory support across Lebanon, Georgia, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ukraine. Work is performed on time-and-materials and firm fixed-price bases across multiple international locations alongside domestic support from Washington, D.C. and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
SCI-reported invoicing shows consistent growth: $15.2 million in fiscal 2023 (44.0 FTEs), $20.4 million in fiscal 2024 (44.6 FTEs), and $26.7 million in fiscal 2025 (54.3 FTEs). On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid hourly rates ran a median of $156.57 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile at $287.30 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Makwa self-performed roughly 82% of contractor hours, with 18% subcontracted to a named roster of 13 subcontractors, indicating a primarily in-house delivery model with selective use of specialized support.
Activity has fluctuated year over year—six awards in 2022, nineteen in 2023, eight in 2024, four in 2025, and seven in 2026 through September—with ten awards (combined potential value $80 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete or extension. The vendor operates as a subsidiary of Makwa Global, LLC, the parent tribally owned entity also holding federal contract vehicles. Makwa Global Security Solutions holds no sub-award footprint; all identified activity is prime delivery.
