The Underdogs Unlimited, LLC

The Underdogs Unlimited, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and multi-certified small business based in San Antonio, Texas, operates as a prime contractor delivering facility support, maintenance, and supply services to federal agencies under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business designations. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime (100% of the 37 recent awards in source) and does not appear on subcontractor rosters, meaning it builds and self-performs its own delivery teams rather than functioning as a feeder to larger primes.

The vendor's portfolio spans concrete facility and infrastructure support: pest control and janitorial services, propane and utility supply, elevator and UPS maintenance, heavy equipment rental, trash removal and disposal, pool and HVAC cleaning, linen rental and laundry, dry ice supply, and emergency roof replacement. Representative prime work includes a $1.554 million Transportation Security Administration janitorial and pest control contract at Newark Liberty International Airport (awarded May 1, 2024, SDVOSB set-aside, extending through April 30, 2029 with multiple option years), a $784,800 elevator maintenance order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 at George E. Wahlen Medical Center in Salt Lake City (SDVOSB set-aside, May 2025, base plus four one-year options through March 31, 2030), and a $631,340 water purification system maintenance purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 in Amarillo and Lubbock (SDVOSB set-aside, December 2024, through December 1, 2029). The vendor also holds two indefinite delivery contracts: a $53,200 single-award SDVOSB-reserved IDC with the National Cemetery Administration for propane supply (January 23, 2024, through January 22, 2029, with three delivery orders issued) and a $100,000 total-small-business IDC with the Bureau of Reclamation for pest control (April 8, 2022, through April 7, 2027, with four task orders issued, values ranging from $16,200 to $20,000).

Customer concentration is distributed across facility-heavy federal agencies. The top five customers by award count (covering 57% of awards) are the Bureau of Reclamation (6 awards, $190 thousand combined potential value), the National Cemetery Administration (5 awards, $72 thousand), the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (4 awards, $98 thousand), Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (3 awards, $1.1 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (3 awards, $1.1 million). By dollar magnitude, the Transportation Security Administration dominates (2 awards, $2.2 million potential value), followed by VISN 19, VISN 17, VISN 22 (2 awards, $421 thousand), and the Defense Commissary Agency (2 awards, $404 thousand). These five customers represent 80% of combined potential value across all awards, indicating significant concentration in VA health systems and DHS facility operations.

Awards are issued against two named indefinite delivery vehicles: IDC 140R3022D0004 (5 task orders, $90 thousand combined potential value) and IDC 36C78624D50044 (4 task orders, $19 thousand combined potential value). The vendor holds no positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA Schedules, or multi-agency vehicles; its business model rests on single-agency and facility-specific IDCs and direct purchase orders.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 9 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, and 8 in 2024; activity dropped to 5 awards in 2025 and 2 awards in 2026 (through August). Ten awards with combined potential value of $1.9 million face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. SCI-reported federal service invoicing grew from $144 thousand in FY2023 across 4.1 FTEs to $473 thousand in FY2025 across 10.1 FTEs—a 228% three-year increase in reported dollars and 146% FTE growth, though this remains a small subset of the vendor's total federal contract portfolio. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work run a median of $14.61/hr, with senior labor pricing through $23.96/hr and entry-level work at $5.06/hr. The vendor self-performs 93% of its SCI-prime labor (7% subcontracted hours share) and reports only one named subcontractor across the SCI dataset.

Capability concentration by NAICS and PSC reflects the vendor's facility-operations footprint: pest control (7 awards, NAICS 561710), propane and compressed gas delivery (5 awards, PSC Gases: Compressed And Liquefied), and janitorial and custodial work (4 awards, NAICS 561720). The vendor operates in niche facility maintenance and supply categories where SDVOSB set-asides and small business reserves are heavily used, with no exposure to IT, engineering, professional services, or goods manufacturing.
