Paragon Professional Services LLC

Paragon Professional Services LLC, an Alaska Native Corporation-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in Anchorage, Alaska, operates predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering environmental remediation, detention and transportation services, construction and facility infrastructure work, and administrative staffing to federal agencies. The vendor competes almost exclusively under 8(a) set-aside vehicles (8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) designations recur across most of the prime footprint), with a smaller share of full-and-open awards.

Paragon's customer concentration is extreme and skewed toward enforcement and detention operations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement dominates both award count and dollar value, accounting for 21 awards worth $747.6 million in combined potential value — roughly 42% of the vendor's entire known portfolio. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (Baltimore, Sacramento, and Alaska districts combined) follows with 34 awards valued at $458.7 million. The Department of Energy Office of Cyber Security represents 13 awards, $152.4 million. These five entities alone account for 77% of the combined potential value across 118 awards. Within that ICE concentration, a single indefinite delivery contract for detention and transportation services at the El Paso Service Processing Center carries a $331.3 million ceiling, with four delivery orders issued to date totaling over $267 million in combined value — this represents both the vendor's single largest vehicle and a material recompete exposure.

Capability footprint is bimodal. The first pillar is mission-critical detention and transportation logistics for ICE enforcement and removal operations across Baltimore, Newark, New York City, and Boston field offices. Recent awards include $7.023 million for El Paso detention and transportation services (awarded September 30, 2026, ultimately completing October 31, 2026), $4.875 million for Boston Field Office transportation (June 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027), and $1.748 million for Newark transportation and guard services (June 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027), all set aside for Total Small Business or awarded without set-aside under the parent IDC. The second pillar is environmental remediation and site characterization work, concentrated across EPA Region 7 (residential remediation in the Southeast Mines area of Missouri), Department of Energy (closure project operations at Former Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 in Bakersfield, California), Army Corps of Engineers (operations and maintenance at Sharpe Army Depot in California, environmental remediation across Alaska), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (site characterization and remediation at Marine Corps installations). Representative environmental awards include a $12.832 million EPA Region 7 remediation task order (May 22, 2026, through June 2, 2027, 8(a) Sole Source), a $13.32 million Department of Energy project management and field work order for Former Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 (March 7, 2025, through March 6, 2030, 8(a) Sole Source), a $22.008 million Navy construction contract for the Hidden Lane Waterline Extension in Sterling, Virginia (January 2, 2025, through April 21, 2027, 8(a) Sole Source), and a $99.324 million Army Corps of Engineers construction contract for storm window and door installations at the U.S. Capitol Complex (June 2, 2023, through June 20, 2027, 8(a) Sole Source). A third emerging capability is international facility operations and security: a $95.162 million Bureau of Diplomatic Security contract for mission guard services at the U.S. Mission in Moscow, Russia (awarded September 26, 2022, through September 25, 2027, 8(a) Sole Source) and a $35.785 million Bureau of Overseas Building Operations contract for compound window replacement in Cairo, Egypt (awarded September 30, 2024, through January 30, 2029, Competitive 8(a)).

Parent vehicle footprint is concentrated on GSA Multiple Award Schedule (28 task orders, $215.5 million combined potential value) and several Army Corps of Engineers indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor holds a $331.3 million single-award IDC with ICE for El Paso detention services (no set-aside, ultimate completion September 29, 2027); an $81.298 million single-award IDC with ICE for transportation and guard services across Baltimore, Newark, New York City, and Boston (Total Small Business set-aside, through March 31, 2027); a $98.99 million single-award 8(a) Sole Source IDC with Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District for environmental remediation services (through September 14, 2027); a $49.9 million single-award IDC with Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District for professional support services in Washington, D.C. (through September 27, 2027); and a $49.5 million single-award 8(a) Sole Source IDC with EPA Region 7 for residential remediation (through February 22, 2029). Newer vehicles include a $97 million Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ awarded May 1, 2025, by Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District for environmental remediation services across Alaska (through April 30, 2030), and a $45 million Competitive 8(a) IDIQ awarded August 6, 2025, by the Bureau of Land Management for construction hazmat and abandoned mine land response (through August 6, 2030).

Activity has grown materially over the past five fiscal years — from 15 awards in 2022 to 28 in 2023, then plateauing at 24 awards annually in 2024 and 2025 — with five awards recorded in 2026 to date. The recompete cliff is substantial: 28 awards worth $352.8 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, anchored by the ICE El Paso detention contract (completion September 29, 2026, and the renewal deliveries through 2027) and multiple EPA and Army Corps environmental task orders.

Service Contract Inventory captures $287.6 million invoiced across federal service contracts from FY2022 through FY2025, reflecting the vendor's growing footprint in staffed and labor-intensive service delivery. FY2022 invoiced $10.3 million across 18.8 FTEs; FY2023 jumped to $95.3 million across 320 FTEs; FY2024 held $83.7 million across 350 FTEs; and FY2025 invoiced $98.4 million across 453 FTEs — showing sustained headcount growth tied to ICE detention operations and environmental remediation fieldwork. Derived government-paid hourly rates across SCI-reportable work run median $109.70/hr, with the 10th percentile at $0/hr (administrative classifications where dollars are flat-rate task orders) and the 90th percentile at $633.73/hr (specialized senior environmental and security roles). The vendor self-performs most labor: across prime SCI contracts, subcontractors account for only 5% average share of contractor hours, with nine named subcontractors across the portfolio, indicating a largely in-house delivery model. GSA Schedule labor categories span 60 offerings from Laborer ($39.27/hr) through Program Manager Sr. III ($244.44/hr), with environmental engineers, industrial hygienists, CADD operators, and project controls specialists in the mid-range ($80–$150/hr), and no security-cleared positions offered.

Teaming is minimal. Paragon operates as a prime on 98% of awards and carries two named joint ventures in the corporate structure: Paragon-Jacobs Joint Venture, LLC and Paragon Central JV, LLC, both minority-owned and 8(a) certified. Two sub-award records surface, both to the Paragon-Jacobs Joint Venture as prime (Fort Randall Dam CMS and Offutt CMS staffing contracts with Army Corps of Engineers, 2023–2024), suggesting the joint ventures operate independently rather than as active subcontractor feeders to the parent. Named subcontractors on prime contracts are sparse; the source identifies PWS International, Inc. (design and construction for the Cairo embassy window replacement and Capitol Complex security window work) and JS Global, LLC (electrical and construction services on Army Corps Baltimore projects) as recurring subs, alongside Shorts Specialty Construction LLC and Tribalco LLC on international Bureau of Overseas Building Operations work. The vendor's parent is Bsnc Government Services, LLC, also an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned, minority-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business headquartered at the same Anchorage address, reflecting corporate structure alignment behind a single set-aside certification.

Paragon's 8(a) certification (active through August 6, 2026, per one award's disclosure) is the defining competitive posture: the vendor's entire business footprint runs on 8(a) set-asides or unsegregated full-and-open awards. No market segment is pursued outside 8(a) designation. This concentration on ICE detention services and environmental remediation creates both scale — nearly $2 billion in combined potential value across 118 awards — and vulnerability: ICE represents 42% of the portfolio by dollars, the El Paso contract alone anchors $331 million of that, and 28 awards face completion inside twenty-four months, requiring substantial recompete effort to maintain revenue continuity.
