About Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC
Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC is a tribally-owned Native American small business headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that has established itself as a capable federal contractor serving defense, civilian, and homeland security agencies. As a tax-exempt corporate entity registered in SAM.gov, the company holds multiple small business certifications including SBA 8(a) Program Participant status (expiring September 16, 2029) and SBA HUBZone Firm designation, positioning it to compete for specialized procurement opportunities reserved for disadvantaged and minority-owned enterprises. Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC provides a diverse portfolio of services spanning construction, environmental remediation, facility services, emergency management, professional support services, and information technology solutions to the federal government.
The company's prime federal contract awards demonstrate substantial experience across multiple service categories and federal agencies. In construction and facility services, Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC has executed major projects including a $34.7 million definitive contract awarded by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center for dormitory construction at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas (completion date March 31, 2026), a $4.15 million renovation contract from the U.S. Air Education and Training Command for facility improvements in San Antonio, Texas (completion date July 28, 2026), and a $7.3 million design-build contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for road repairs at Fort Johnson, Louisiana (completion date March 11, 2026). The company also holds substantial experience in demolition services, having been awarded a $3.6 million contract from the Navy Installations Command for demolition of various facilities at Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas in June 2024, and a $199,459 contract for demolition of a live fire training facility at the same installation in June 2025. Environmental remediation work includes a $3.18 million Total Small Business set-aside contract from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for hazardous soil remediation at the AK-Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska (completion date September 30, 2026) and a $398,157 contract from the Southwestern Region for water storage tank cleaning, inspection, and refurbishment of the Bethel Water Storage and Management treatment plant in Bethel, Alaska (completion date January 31, 2026). The contractor has also provided professional services including a $794,534 contract from the Wisconsin National Guard for Army Substance Abuse Program alcohol counselor services in Madison, Wisconsin (completion date September 15, 2029) and a $506,265 media relations services contract with the Wisconsin National Guard (completion date September 2, 2027). Additionally, the company was awarded a $562,147 emergency management services contract from the Air National Guard for Camp Douglas, Wisconsin operations (completion date September 27, 2027) and a $28,586 purchase order from the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection for document readers at Madawaska, Maine. All of these awards utilized 8(a) sole source or Total Small Business set-aside designations, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting disadvantaged small business enterprises.
Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC maintains two significant federal contract indefinite delivery vehicles that enable broader engagement with federal agencies. The company holds a Government Wide Acquisition Contract through the General Services Administration's 8(a) STARS III program with a $50 billion ceiling value and an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2026, awarded on February 23, 2022, under the competitive 8(a) set-aside designation. This GWAC enables the company to provide comprehensive information technology services government-wide, including data management, IT operations and maintenance, IT security, software development, and IT system design, addressing mission-critical technology requirements across diverse federal agencies with support for both domestic and international performance locations. Additionally, Potawatomi Defense Operations LLC was awarded a Multiple Award Task Order Contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District on September 29, 2025, with a $20 million shared ceiling value and performance period extending through September 28, 2032 under a HUBZone set-aside designation. This MATOC, funded by the Defense Logistics Agency's Fort Worth office, procures horizontal construction services including design-build and design-bid-build construction projects such as infrastructure development, roads, parking lots, bridges, airport runways, and drainage improvements, primarily supporting Fort Johnson, Louisiana, though available for other USACE civil and military programs, Department of Homeland Security requirements, and Southwestern Division Installation Information Systems customers within designated boundaries. The contract structure applies firm fixed price and fixed price incentive firm pricing with individual task orders carrying a minimum guarantee of $2,500 and subject to Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, enabling the government to issue task orders as project requirements emerge over the seven-year base ordering period with potential extension to an eleven-year maximum performance period.
