Walter Thomas & Associates, Incorporated

Walter Thomas & Associates, Incorporated, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and minority-owned firm headquartered in Long Beach, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering environmental remediation and hazardous materials abatement services to federal facilities, particularly VA medical centers across Southern California and Nevada. The company competes in both SDVOSB set-aside and full-and-open solicitations, with set-aside designations appearing on roughly 15% of recent awards and the remainder awarded on unrestricted basis.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on asbestos, lead, and mold abatement; emergency environmental remediation; sewage cleanup and containment; and facility decontamination at federal healthcare and operational sites. Representative work includes a $286,700 asbestos, lead abatement, and mold removal contract awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) in November 2025 with completion through November 2026; a $422,075 emergency mold and asbestos abatement order at VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System facilities awarded in June 2024; a $256,237 emergency stairwell and dialysis abatement contract at the Los Angeles VA facility in August 2023; and a $95,400 emergency dumpster asbestos abatement purchase order awarded by VISN 22 in June 2026 with performance at the VA facility in Los Angeles.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the VA. VISN 22 accounts for 108 awards (59% of the vendor's total award count) and $22.6 million in combined potential value (32% of total dollars), with work performed at VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, Sepulveda VA facility, and West Los Angeles VA medical center. The second-largest customer by dollar value is the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles, with nine awards totaling $11.3 million in combined potential value for site preparation and facility work. NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (seven awards, $4.9 million), the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (one award, $3.4 million), and the United States Marine Corps (seven awards, $3 million) comprise the remaining active customer base. Across the portfolio, thirteen distinct federal agencies have awarded contracts; VISN 22 concentration creates significant customer dependency but also indicates deep, specialized capability in VA facility remediation.

The vendor holds task orders on five VA indefinite delivery contracts: VA26212D0154 (17 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), VA262C0457A (7 task orders, $1.3 million), and three additional IDCs carrying smaller task-order volumes. Army Corps of Engineers contract W912PL07D0025 carries five task orders totaling $3.2 million. All work is performed as firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts; the vendor does not participate in GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or GSA schedules in the source data.

Award activity has declined materially. The vendor received fourteen awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, and eleven in 2024, falling to four awards in 2025 and one in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across all 184 prime awards stands at $71.6 million, with $43.5 million (61%) obligated. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $382 thousand, which indicates minimal recompete exposure but also reflects the decline in annual fundings. Walter Thomas & Associates operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company's NAICS concentration reflects its environmental remediation specialization: Remediation Services dominates with 86 awards, followed by Site Preparation Contractors (34 awards) and Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (28 awards).
