DescriptionBaton Strategies is pleased to present an acquisition opportunity for a specialized, national federal government contractor. Headquartered in the Northern Midwest with a national reach, the Company provides a diverse suite of mission-critical services, including construction, environmental remediation, marine/civil engineering, and site security to high-profile federal and state agencies.
Since its founding in 2017, the Company has established itself as a "sticky" institutional partner with a national footprint and deep-rooted relationships across multiple Tier-1 federal and state agencies. This proven track record and high barrier to entry are supported by a robust forward pipeline, including $32.2M in 2026 bid status and $76.6M in total identified opportunities—representing 1.4x 2025 revenue. Furthermore, a recently awarded MATOC (Multi-Award Task Order Contract) in FY26 provides a pre-vetted, multi-year runway for consistent task order awards through 2030, ensuring long-term revenue stability and significant growth potential.
The business is "manager-ready," featuring a structured management bench across four core divisions that handles day-to-day operations independently of ownership. To support buyer confidence and ensure a seamless transition, the valuation includes a $220,000 annual GM replacement reserve, offering a truly "plug-and-play" platform for a strategic or financial acquirer. Furthermore, the current owners are deeply committed to a successful handoff and are open to flexible transition structures—including potential consulting arrangements or phased exits—to ensure the thorough transfer of institutional knowledge and key agency relationships.
Support & TrainingThe four current owners, who currently oversee the core divisions, are committed to a successful handoff and the long-term success of the Company. They are offering a comprehensive training and transition period to ensure all institutional knowledge and agency relationships are transferred effectively. Ownership is open and flexible regarding the transition structure.
Market & CompetitionThe Company operates in a high-barrier market defined by deep institutional relationships and rigorous past-performance requirements. Its proven track record with federal and state agencies creates a significant competitive advantage and long-term loyalty. This is bolstered by a recently awarded MATOC, providing a "license to hunt" for task orders competitors cannot access.
Growth OpportunitiesThe growth story is supported by a massive $76.6M identified pipeline and a $32M+ 2026 bid/awarded runway. Immediate expansion opportunities include:
Self-Performance: Capturing additional margin by bringing hydraulic and dredging services fully in-house.
MATOC Utilization: Aggressively bidding task orders on existing multi-year contract vehicles.
Geographic Expansion: Leveraging their national past performance to win larger-scale projects in new regions.
Sub-to-Prime Conversion: Transitioning from a high-value subcontractor to a prime contractor.
