Pakolatus LLC

Pakolatus LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Baltimore, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering warehouse storage, transportation, and inventory management services to federal biomedical research agencies, with 100% of recent awards held as prime contracts under full-and-open and total small business set-asides. The vendor is a sole proprietorship, self-certified small disadvantaged business, and Asian-Pacific American owned entity operating under primary NAICS codes in general warehousing and storage (10 awards) and corrugated box manufacturing (4 awards).

Pakolatus's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Health and Human Services. The top five funding entities account for 94% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value, anchored by the HHS Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (5 awards, $10.6 million combined potential value) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (8 awards, $383 thousand combined potential value). The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations dominates by dollar value due to a $10 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded February 9, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027, covering laboratory and medical supplies procurement alongside logistics and warehousing services across NIH institutes including NICHD, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Food and Drug Administration. The National Eye Institute ($840 thousand definitive contract through May 31, 2027), the National Institute on Drug Abuse ($334 thousand), and FDA ($291 thousand) round out the portfolio. Representative work includes a $126.6 thousand purchase order from NICHD for warehouse storage and transportation of laboratory animal facilities equipment in Bethesda through December 2027; a $291.2 thousand total small business set-aside from FDA for storage and equipment transfer in Silver Spring through March 2028; and a $334.1 thousand total small business set-aside from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (funding NINDS) for warehouse storage and transport of animal healthcare supplies through April 2028, sourced to house approximately 17,000 rodent cages within 50 miles of Bethesda.

Recent activity has contracted — five awards in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with five awards totaling $1.7 million in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Pakolatus operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards), with no subcontractor relationships in the award footprint and no subcontracting activity captured in the Service Contract Inventory dataset. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $9 thousand in FY2022 across 0.1 FTEs at a government-paid rate of $61.01 per hour; subsequent fiscal years showed no SCI-reportable invoicing above the $150,000 threshold, indicating that most performance has been goods procurement (corrugated boxes) or below-threshold services — the portfolio's concrete service scope centers on temperature-controlled storage, secured warehouse space with loading dock and forklift access, inventory management with monthly reporting, transportation with up to 30 annual round trips and 4–6 hour emergency response capability, and logistics support for animal research equipment and medical supplies to support NIH mission-critical biomedical research programs.
