The Pawington, LLC

The Pawington, LLC, a South San Francisco-based small business partnership, provides kenneling and boarding services for working dogs used in federal border security operations, operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract held with the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection. All work is set aside for small businesses; the vendor competes under Total Small Business designations across its federal footprint.

The Pawington's federal customer base is entirely concentrated with DHS CBP, which accounts for all seven awards in the source data and $1.7 million in combined potential value. This single-agency concentration reflects the specialized nature of the vendor's offering — canine kenneling and boarding services supporting CBP's K9 operations at coastal border regions, particularly at San Francisco International Airport and the South San Francisco facility where The Pawington houses and maintains the working dogs. The vendor's capability is narrowly tailored to this mission; the source categorizes all work under NAICS Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services and PSC Support–Professional: Veterinary/Animal Care.

The Pawington holds a single-award IDC valued at $994,613.63, awarded by DHS CBP in March 2024 and running through March 2029. Four task orders have been issued under this vehicle to date, carrying $441 thousand in combined potential value. Representative delivery orders include a $90 thousand firm fixed-price order issued May 19, 2026, for kenneling services (ultimate completion March 30, 2027), a $180 thousand modification extending an earlier San Francisco International Airport K9 kenneling contract through April 30, 2026 (awarded March 30, 2025), and a $123,970 purchase order awarded September 30, 2022, for canine kenneling services. A single award (the May 2026 delivery order, $90 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete.

Activity has been intermittent — one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the task-order cadence of a single federal customer. The vendor entered the SAM.gov registration system in September 2022 and has received all awards from DHS CBP since that date. The Pawington operates no subcontract relationships and holds no position on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs; its federal business is anchored entirely to the CBP kenneling IDC.
