Waterfront Training Solutions Inc.

Waterfront Training Solutions Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Chesapeake, Virginia, provides career development consulting, training facilitation, and instructional design services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on definitive contracts and GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicles. The vendor holds dual SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (both valid through September 1, 2027), and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. Waterfront operates as a Subchapter S corporation structured for set-aside competition, with 67% of recent awards held as prime contracts.

Waterfront's customer footprint is nascent and concentrated across three agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick holds one prime contract valued at $577,256 for career path development consulting; the GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds the MAS vehicle (1 award, $35.7 million ceiling); and the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research holds one sub-award under Peraton. The two customer-concentration rankings align — GSA dominates by potential value due to the MAS multiple-award vehicle structure, while VA dominates obligated volume on the definitive contract side. In September 2024, Waterfront won a firm fixed price SDVOSB set-aside contract with VA to develop career path guides, competency models, assessments, and individual development plans across ten VA occupations including Human Resources, Medical Instrument Technician, Social Worker, Public Affairs, and Administrative Officer; the contract carried a twelve-month base period and completion date of February 25, 2025. In July 2025, Waterfront was added to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with a $35.7 million ceiling through July 8, 2030, opening direct ordering access across the federal government's multi-agency catalog framework.

Recent activity shows two awards placed in 2025 following one in 2024, with combined potential value of $36.3 million against only $770 thousand in obligated dollars (2% of ceiling), indicating the MAS vehicle and the VA contract are early in execution. Waterfront subcontracts to Peraton on a Department of the Navy manpower, personnel, training, and education (MPTE) task. The vendor's labor portfolio on GSA spans thirteen categories, ranging from Training Facilitator I at $49.50 per hour to Subject Matter Expert III at $171.79 per hour, with most roles requiring a bachelor's degree and security clearance. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows $13 thousand in FY2024 invoicing across 0.1 FTEs on a single prime contract, with median government-paid rates around $131.94 per hour—a SCI figure that reflects partial-year execution on a new definitive contract and does not represent full-year or enterprise revenue. Waterfront performs no subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable contracts; across the current award set, the vendor builds its own delivery teams rather than leaning on subs.
