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, delivers environmental remediation, hazardous materials abatement, and facility maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement with occasional SDVOSB set-aside awards.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on asbestos, lead, and mold abatement; emergency sewage and water remediation; and hazardous soil remediation at federal healthcare and operational facilities. Representative work includes a $424,804 definitive contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs for stairwell emergency sewage and asbestos removal at a Los Angeles VA facility (awarded September 23, 2026, completion December 7, 2026), a $393,750 contract for asbestos-laden soil remediation at a VA facility in Southern California (August 18, 2026), and a $286,700 purchase order for asbestos, lead abatement, and mold removal services at VA medical facilities (awarded November 4, 2025, completion November 3, 2026). The vendor's work spans emergency response and planned maintenance across VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 locations throughout Southern California and Nevada.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 accounts for 112 awards (59% of all awards) with $23.8 million combined potential value. The top five customers by award count cover 79% of recent awards; by potential value, the top five cover 64% of combined potential, with VISN 22 dominating both rankings. Secondary customers include the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles (9 awards, $11.3 million), NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (7 awards, $4.9 million), the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (1 award, $3.4 million), and the United States Marine Corps (7 awards, $3 million). The vendor serves 13 distinct federal agencies in total.

Vehicle positioning centers on VA indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor places task orders against VA Indefinite Delivery Contract VA26212D0154 (17 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), VA262C0457A (7 task orders, $1.3 million), and also holds positions on National Defense Authorization Act contract vehicles including NND08AD43C (6 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), N6247312D2610 (5 task orders, $2.3 million), and Army Corps of Engineers contract W912PL07D0025 (5 task orders, $3.2 million). These are narrow, single-customer or regional vehicles rather than government-wide acquisition contracts.

Activity has declined from a peak in 2022 (14 awards) through 2026 (5 awards year to date), with 2025 showing a significant drop to 4 awards. The vendor has accumulated 188 prime awards totaling $72.7 million in combined potential value since 2004, with $44.6 million (61%) obligated. Only 5 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.4 million), indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the source data.

NAICS concentration reflects the hazmat remediation and facility maintenance focus: Remediation Services accounts for 87 awards, Site Preparation Contractors for 34 awards, and Commercial and Institutional Building Construction for 31 awards. The top PSC codes are Environmental Systems Protection—Environmental Remediation (43 awards) and Repair or Alteration of Hospitals and Infirmaries (19 awards). The vendor carries SDVOSB certification and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business; it competes in both set-aside and full-and-open postures, though the majority of recent awards carry no set-aside designation.
