Solvere Technical Group, LLC

Solvere Technical Group, LLC, a Virginia Beach–based woman-owned small business certified as Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and 8(a) Program Participant, delivers maritime vessel maintenance and repair, naval engineering and technical services, and cybersecurity defensive operations support to the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security primarily as a prime contractor (64% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to larger systems integrators. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides — Competitive 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business, and Total Small Business designations recur across the prime footprint, with two subsidiaries (Sunstone Technical Group, LLC and Sunstone Technical Solutions, LLC) carrying aligned minority-owned and women-owned certifications.

Solvere's customer concentration skews heavily naval and maritime. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio (10 awards, $108.4 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (12 awards, $7.1 million combined potential value) and the General Services Administration (2 awards, $50 billion combined potential value, predominantly from the 8(a) STARS III GWAC). The GSA Federal Acquisition Service seat on the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III government-wide acquisition contract (Competitive 8(a), ultimate completion July 1, 2026) inflates potential-value rankings but carries minimal task-order activity in the source data. By raw award count, the Coast Guard leads with twelve orders — primarily small-dollar purchase orders for vessel repair and maintenance work — but Naval Sea Systems Command dominates the pipeline by dollars. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded Solvere a $20.2 million delivery order for Cyber Security Defensive Operations Engineering Support Services (Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside, cost-plus-fixed-fee, through September 2028), representing the single largest engagement in recent history.

Solvere's primary vehicle footprint sits on multiple indefinite delivery contracts anchoring naval and Coast Guard work. Naval Sea Systems Command awarded the contractor a $72 million Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Multiple Award Contract (Marine Boatyard Repair and Maintenance Support Lot I for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, ultimate completion September 2026) for small boat and craft repair, maintenance, and modernization services within a 100-mile radius of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. A companion $25.18 million Competitive 8(a) LITTLE BLUE III Multiple Award Contract (December 2024, ultimate completion December 2029) covers engineering and technical services for hull mechanical and electrical system upgrades and deployment. The Coast Guard awarded a single-award Competitive 8(a) Indefinite Delivery contract (September 2026, ultimate completion August 2031, $4.75 million ceiling) for 32-foot Transportable Port Security Boat maintenance and repair. A second Coast Guard single-award ID/IQ (September 2025, ultimate completion September 2030, $1.66 million ceiling) covers five-year East and West Coast vessel maintenance and repair support. Solvere also holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (March 2022, ultimate completion March 2027, $2.5 million ceiling) with 83 labor categories spanning general clerk ($30.56/hr) through senior subject-matter expert ($221.93/hr), no security-cleared positions, education from high school to bachelor's degree. The 8(a) STARS III GWAC positions Solvere to deliver information technology, engineering, and cybersecurity services across civilian federal agencies, though current pipeline visibility under that vehicle is sparse in the source.

Activity has accelerated from two awards in 2023 to thirteen in 2025, with five awards placed through mid-September 2026. Four awards (combined potential value $20.8 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months: the Marine Boatyard Repair contract ($72 million ceiling, expiring September 2026), a Coast Guard delivery order for SPC-BTD II and SPC-LE platform maintenance ($329,000, August 2027), and two smaller Coast Guard repair orders. The contractor's actual obligations run only $6.7 million against $50.14 billion in combined potential value — a reflection of the massive GSA GWAC ceiling and the indefinite-delivery vehicle structure, where task orders trickle in as operational requirements arise. Obligated dollars concentrate in active task orders under Navy and Coast Guard maintenance vehicles rather than across Solvere's broadest available capacity.

Solvere operates as a subcontractor to larger systems integrators and shipbuilders on naval and defense modernization programs. Named prime contractors include Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC (multiple SBIR Phase III follow-on awards for NAMTS shipboard maintenance systems and ODIN-EL learning management system for Navy personnel), Vigor Marine LLC (USNS Guadalupe fiscal year 2025 overhaul and annual SOLAS inspection labor and materials), Amentum Services, Inc. (on-site representative and risk management framework manager support for Submarine Networks), HX5 LLC (MSV(L) EMD Phase onsite support), Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. (Expeditionary Equipment Readiness support services), Thor Solutions LLC (technical engineering support under OASIS Small Business Pool 3 for Coast Guard ship design), The McHenry Management Group, LLC (National Security Cutter program management support), and Delphinus Engineering LLC (labor for unspecified option period exercise). Across SCI-reportable service contracts, Solvere appears in 46 named-subcontractor records (zero prime records in the SCI dataset), with a workforce trajectory of 15.5 FTEs in FY2022 rising to 25.4 FTEs in FY2025 — a scale and pattern consistent with a specialized sub-tier technical labor provider feeding larger primes rather than a stand-alone service delivery enterprise. The subcontractor footprint spans naval engineering, cybersecurity, mechanical and electrical systems support, and program management labor — capabilities that align with Solvere's own prime work in vessel systems and defensive operations but are delivered on customer terms set by larger prime contractors.
