Waypoint LLC

Waypoint LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Lead, South Dakota, functions as a 100% prime contractor delivering maritime husbanding, port operations coordination, and expeditionary logistics support to the Department of Defense and federal agencies, competing predominantly under full-and-open awards without set-aside restrictions on its largest and most prominent contracts.

Waypoint operates as a limited liability company and holds no federal grants or subcontracts in its portfolio—all 1,205 awards in the source data are prime federal contracts. The company's concrete service footprint centers on maritime husbanding and port operations: ship provisioning, equipment rental, material handling, transportation coordination, lodging and life support, force protection, hazardous waste removal, and emergency response at naval vessel port calls. Recent representative work includes $15.9 million in comprehensive tug and pilot services for INR 250 (New York Harbor) across all Navy and visiting ships; a $22 million five-year base life support contract with Army Southern Command for 150 recurring personnel and surge capacity to 1,500 at the Jungle Operations Training Center in Cristobal, Panama; $3.5 million in husbanding services for USS Nimitz at Clearwater, Florida; and $2.1 million in husbanding support for USS Iwo Jima in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Waypoint also delivers expeditionary base operations, third-party logistics coordination, and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief services under WEXMAC TITUS, with awards spanning lodging, provisions, material handling, transportation, and construction materials across six continents.

Customer concentration is extreme and Navy-dominated. The top five federal agencies account for 77% of award count, anchored by US Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) with 349 awards ($522.3 million), US Pacific Fleet Forces with 169 awards ($2.15 billion), Coast Guard with 160 awards ($3.9 million), Military Sealift Command with 128 awards ($28.3 million), and Chief of Naval Personnel with 127 awards ($3.9 million). By dollar value, Naval Supply Systems Command dominates with 13 awards carrying $68.09 billion combined potential value—nearly 96% of Waypoint's total portfolio—reflecting the firm's anchor position on the $67.85 billion WEXMAC TITUS IDIQ. This concentration creates structural imbalance: NAVSUP's 13 awards dwarf the rest of the customer base, while the 349 Atlantic Fleet awards span much smaller individual task orders.

Waypoint holds seats on three major federal contract vehicles. The Global Husbanding Support Services IDIQ (Naval Supply Systems Command-administered, $244 million ceiling) generates 496 task orders valued at $149.2 million—Waypoint's primary vehicle for maritime husbanding at Navy and Coast Guard vessel port calls worldwide. The Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract TITUS (WEXMAC TITUS, $67.85 billion with partial small business set-aside through December 31, 2029) produces 159 active task orders at $47.8 million combined value, with Waypoint delivering base operations, life support, provisions, material handling, lodging, and expeditionary support across humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and contingency operations globally. The predecessor World Wide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract vehicle carries 126 task orders at $26.8 million. Task order values range from under $10,000 to over $4 million, with the majority structured as firm fixed-price awards.

Activity trajectory shows growth interrupted by currency shift. Waypoint executed 179 awards in 2022, 145 in 2023, rebounded to 200 in 2024, peaked at 244 in 2025, and has 142 awards through September 2026 (year-to-date). The compressed 2026 figure reflects data currency (snapshot as of October 15, 2026) rather than decline. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $70.92 billion, but obligated dollars total only $244.6 million (0.3%)—a flag that reflects Waypoint's heavy weighting toward the WEXMAC TITUS IDV's ceiling rather than actual invoiced spend. Within the next twenty-four months, six awards carry completion dates, representing $9.8 million in potential recompete exposure.

Waypoint carries zero subcontract presence—the contractor operates entirely as a prime. Service delivery locations span operational and administrative sites worldwide: place of performance includes Ponce, Puerto Rico; Singapore; Yokosuka, Japan; Panama; Guam; the Philippines; multiple U.S. ports (New York, San Francisco, Clearwater, Jacksonville, Key West); and scores of international ports across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Indo-Pacific. Administrative oversight remains at the Lead, South Dakota headquarters. Primary NAICS coding reflects port and harbor operations (647 awards), logistics consulting (335 awards), and frozen fruit/vegetable manufacturing (117 awards, likely a misclassification artifact in government databases). Primary PSC codes align: ship husbanding management/integration (352 awards), logistics support (344 awards), fruits and vegetables (136 awards), and husbanding removal services (64 awards).

Waypoint competes predominantly under full-and-open solicitations; set-aside designations appear on approximately 40–50% of task orders (partial small business or total small business sets), but the company's woman-owned small business status does not restrict it from full-and-open competition. The firm's business model is transactional and port-centric: short-duration delivery orders (typically 3–14 days) for individual vessel port calls, with payment triggered on completion. This rapid-mobilization model explains the 0.3% obligation rate—most awards are completed within contract performance windows before payment accrual. Waypoint's footprint is geographically dispersed and operationally responsive rather than geographically concentrated, positioning it as a logistics provider for global naval and defense operations rather than a fixed-facility contractor.
