MEC Energy Services LLC

MEC Energy Services LLC, doing business as Mecs, LLC, a Native American-owned, SBA 8(a)-certified tribally owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in New Town, North Dakota, delivers professional staffing, facilities operations and maintenance, program management, and administrative support services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor across civilian agencies and defense. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides, though it also holds positions on unrestricted government-wide vehicles and holds a GSA Schedule with 106 labor categories spanning administrative, technical, and facilities roles.

MEC's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of State across multiple bureaus, with the top five funding agencies accounting for 57% of recent awards by count but a markedly different picture by dollar value. The Department of State Bureau of Administration leads by award volume with 22 awards valued at $42.6 million combined, followed by the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (14 awards, $80.8 million), and the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (13 awards, $20 million). However, by potential value, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio with 2 awards valued at $10 billion combined, driven by an unrestricted Indefinite Delivery Contract (19AQMM19D0120) that accounts for 57 task orders worth $144.1 million, and the Department of State Office of Acquisition Management with 6 awards (combined potential value $1.9 billion), including a $1.78 billion Facilities Operations and Maintenance IDIQ (IDIQ 19AQMM23D0050) with 14 task orders valued at $28 million. The Department of the Air Force places the vendor on the Rapid Sustainment Directorate Multi-Award Contract (RO MAC), a $975 million vehicle awarded July 30, 2024. This concentration in facilities and operations support stands in stark contrast to the staffing-services emphasis of State Department work — the vendor is simultaneously a high-volume professional-services provider to diplomatic bureaus and a large-scale facilities operator for infrastructure customers.

Representative prime awards span multiple functional domains. The State Department Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs awarded a $37.5 million competitive 8(a) definitive contract on October 1, 2023, for professional services in Doha, Qatar, covering program management, medical care, transportation, maintenance, and administrative roles; FY2024 and FY2025 invoicing totaled $7.5 million across 242 FTEs. The same bureau issued an 8(a) sole-source delivery order on September 21, 2026, valued at $4.6 million for Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Unit program support through September 20, 2029. The Department of State Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs issued a BPA call on September 30, 2026, worth $11.4 million for facility management services at the U.S. Consulate Frankfurt through September 29, 2031. The State Department also awarded a $25 million definitive 8(a) contract on April 3, 2023, for staffing support services at U.S. embassies (closed out January 23, 2025). On the defense side, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center awarded an $6.1 million firm-fixed-price 8(a) contract on August 2, 2022, for C-130 Corrosion Prevention and Control Program work at New Town, North Dakota.

MEC sits on multiple significant parent vehicles. The vendor holds a seat on the OASIS+ 8(a) Small Business Multiple Award IDIQ (awarded January 8, 2026, by GSA with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling through January 7, 2031) and the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside multiple-award IDIQ (awarded October 17, 2025, by GSA through October 16, 2030), both enabling task-order issuance across federal agencies governmentwide. The vendor also holds a $15 million single-award 8(a) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the Department of State's Office of Acquisition Management (awarded March 10, 2023, with ultimate completion September 9, 2026), which serves as the authorizing vehicle for numerous delivery orders across State Department bureaus for professional staffing and program support. MEC holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract with 106 active labor categories and hourly rates from $52.29 to $200.44 (awarded December 12, 2023, through December 11, 2028). A $200 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for facilities maintenance services at U.S. embassies was issued by the State Department Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs on January 24, 2025, through January 23, 2027; two BPA calls have been placed under this vehicle to date, one valued at $18.4 million for Russia and one at $19.4 million for China. The vendor also operates under five other high-value parent IDIQs: the unrestricted IDIQs 19AQMM19D0120 (57 task orders, $144.1 million combined potential value), 19AQMM23D0050 (14 task orders, $28 million), 19AQMM20D0030 (5 task orders, $15.8 million), 19AQMM25A0173 (3 task orders, $50 million), and W9098S19D0006 (2 task orders, $17.2 million).

Activity has contracted sharply after a 2022 peak. The vendor received 24 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 year-to-date, signaling a declining trajectory. The recompete cliff looms significantly: 30 awards (combined potential value $178.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing substantial contract renewal risk and recompete opportunity for competitors.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $131.9 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue across FY2022–FY2025. FY2024 represented the peak invoicing year at $35.3 million across 1,082 FTEs; FY2025 invoicing was $55.4 million but across only 273 FTEs, reflecting a shift toward higher-value-per-FTE work. The median government-paid hourly rate across all SCI-reportable prime contracts is $69.58/hr, with a 10th-percentile floor of $6.17/hr (reflecting low-cost administrative staffing roles, particularly overseas), a 90th-percentile ceiling of $137.64/hr, and GSA Schedule rates reaching $200.44/hr for subject-matter-expert roles. Across prime contracts captured in SCI, named subcontractors account for an average of 9% of total contractor hours, with 32 distinct subcontractors reported across the portfolio; the vast majority of work is self-performed. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans entry-level clerk and maintenance roles ($52–$74/hr), audit and accounting professionals ($85–$103/hr), management analysts and program managers ($122–$145/hr), and subject-matter experts ($200/hr), with all roles requiring a high school or bachelor's degree and no security-cleared positions offered.

The source material references multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles and single-award IDIQs, but does not name specific subcontractors engaged in the work. MEC operates as a prime-focused organization with minimal sub engagement — all 106 prime awards in the recent portfolio carry no identified sub-awards, and SCI reporting shows 9% sub-hour share with only 32 named contractors engaged, suggesting MEC builds its own delivery teams for the vast majority of work, particularly on staffing and operations contracts where the vendor is the identified performer.
