DCS and Makai's Pele Solutions Triumphs with OASIS+ Award for Small Businesses

DCS and Makai's Collaborative Victory: Pele Solutions and the OASIS+ Award

In an exciting development for the business landscape, Pele Solutions, LLC, a joint venture formed by DCS Corporation and Makai LLC, has clinched a significant prime position in the General Services Administration's (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) Small Business Multi-Agency Contract (MAC). This achievement marks a notable milestone for the partnership, which was officially established in 2022 under the 8(a) Small Business Administration (SBA) mentor-protégé program, with DCS acting as the mentor for Makai.

A Strategic Alliance

The collaboration between DCS and Makai brings together two organizations with distinct strengths aimed at delivering exceptional services. DCS Corporation, an employee-owned entity with a focus on advanced technology and engineering solutions for national security, teams up with Makai LLC, a Native Hawaiian consulting and engineering firm. This alliance optimizes their capabilities to cater to a broad spectrum of customer needs within the defense and engineering sectors.

Winning this coveted OASIS+ contract enhances the operational reach of Pele Solutions, allowing them to offer comprehensive services across three primary domains: Management and Advisory Services, Technical and Engineering Services, and Research and Development Services. The award not only validates their efforts but also positions them for future growth opportunities.

Voices of Leadership

Stephanie Hutch, President and CEO of Makai, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership and its implications for the Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) community, stating, "Winning OASIS+ SB is a major strategic victory for Makai and the NHO community. We’re grateful for the SBA Mentor-Protégé program and DCS for their partnership and eagerly anticipate growth opportunities ahead."

DCS's Chairman and CEO, Jim Benbow, also shared his excitement: "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our capabilities and reach through this award. DCS and Makai remain committed to delivering exceptional technical expertise to our customers through the Pele Solutions joint venture."

Understanding OASIS+

The OASIS+ program is designed to be a versatile, government-wide multiple award IDIQ acquisition program, facilitating agencies' ability to procure a diverse range of service requirements that blend multiple disciplines. This flexibility caters to both commercial and non-commercial needs, with pricing and contract types being determined at the task order-level, allowing for tailored, comprehensive solutions for federal agencies.

Conclusion

With this award, Pele Solutions is perfectly positioned to leverage the strengths of both DCS and Makai for a competitive edge in the evolving government contracting landscape. The partnership not only showcases the power of strategic alliances but also reaffirms a shared commitment to excellence within the defense and engineering sectors. As they embark on this new chapter together, stakeholders can expect remarkable advancements in service offerings and capabilities.
