NELOGIS

What NELOGIS does

NELOGIS Corporation is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded in 2006 by Col. Raymond L. Rodon (USA, Retired) and headquartered in Durham, New Hampshire. Originally a Texas-based water filtration company reincorporated in 2013 as Next Evolution Water Solutions LLC, it pivoted into defense logistics in 2014 via a Defense Logistics Agency warehousing contract at Tobyhanna Army Depot and consolidated into a single corporation in 2018. The firm delivers logistics, procurement, training, fuel operations, aviation services, water purification, energy solutions, infrastructure development, unmanned aerial systems training, and stability/advisory services primarily to U.S. federal agencies (DLA, DoD, Department of State, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force) and to international organizations (United Nations, NATO, African Union). Operations span four continents through offices in Durham, Washington D.C., Bogota, and Dubai, with active theater presence in 20+ countries across Africa, the Middle East, South America, Central America, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific.

The company's core technology stack centers on operational logistics and supply-chain management systems rather than software products: it operates bulk petroleum facilities and aircraft refueling vehicles (including F-35 Lightning II refuelers), maintains a Reliability Based Maintenance program at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, provides UAS/UAV solutions and training, and runs advanced warehousing and distribution operations for DLA. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through U.S. government contracting vehicles — IDIQ prime contracts (SeaPort NxG, AFRICAP, CNGT AMIC, USSOUTHCOM HAP), task orders, fixed-price awards, and subcontracting arrangements with primes such as DGC International. Notable contract wins include an $11.6M aircraft refueling contract at NAS Patuxent River (December 2023) and cumulative AFRICAP task orders across Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, DRC, Togo, Niger, and Comoros. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and leverages SDVOSB status for preferential federal set-aside access.

NELOGIS is a privately held, founder-controlled small business with 11–50 employees, no disclosed institutional investors, and no funding rounds on record. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales through formal federal procurement channels — direct solicitation responses, recompetes on incumbent installations, prime vehicle task order capture, and strategic consortium arrangements. Distribution is reinforced by ISOA membership, a press-release-driven PR presence, and a website portfolio of 14+ case studies. Leadership combines former senior military officers (Col. Rodon as CEO, retired Army leadership across operations and training), former senior civilian government executives (former DLA Energy Deputy Director, former GSA Director), and a former UN program head as COO — a credential stack that is itself a key competitive asset for winning and managing complex federal logistics contracts.

Direct peers

• DGC International: DGC International is NELOGIS's documented strategic partner since 2015 on Army Corps of Engineers logistics contracts, delivering highly comparable international procurement, engineering, and logistics services to DOD and State Department customers.
• Vectrus Systems: Vectrus is a publicly traded defense contractor focused on global base operations, logistics, and sustainment services for U.S. military and government customers — the same core service portfolio NELOGIS provides to DLA and the Navy at Patuxent River and Lemoore.
• Planate Management Group: Planate is an SDVOSB government contractor providing base operations, facility management, and engineering support to federal agencies — a near-identical business model to NELOGIS with similar headcount scale and set-aside positioning.
• Caliburn (J&A Logistics / Trimatric): Caliburn is a government services firm specializing in humanitarian assistance, contingency operations, and base life support — closely parallel to NELOGIS's AFRICAP and stability operations work across Africa and the Middle East.
• RONCO Group: RONCO Group is a small government contractor providing logistics, training, demining, and stability operations internationally, with overlapping AFRICAP and counter-narcotics clientele — a direct competitor for the same task orders NELOGIS pursues.
• SOSi (SOS International): SOSi provides logistics, intelligence, training, and base operations support across the DoD, DHS, and State Department — directly comparable to NELOGIS's professional and technical services portfolio at similar mid-market scale.

Broad incumbents

• KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root): KBR is a major government services prime delivering large-scale logistics, base operations, and sustainment solutions globally — the dominant incumbent NELOGIS competes against or partners with on larger IDIQ programs such as LOGCAP and AFRICAP.
• Amentum (formerly PAE): Amentum is a large federal services contractor providing logistics, operations, and maintenance support to U.S. and allied governments — the broader incumbent counterpart against which NELOGIS's military logistics work is benchmarked.

Others

• Safe Ports Inc. Safe Ports is the former employer of NELOGIS CEO Col. Rodon and operates port logistics and supply chain services for DLA — a thematic/leadership predecessor rather than an active competitor, given NELOGIS's prior DLA Guam transition work for Safe Ports.
• UnityTec: UnityTec is a strategic partner (since 2015) with capabilities in defense, training, and development work — a comparable SDVOSB-adjacent government contractor occasionally partnered with NELOGIS on joint pursuits rather than a direct head-to-head competitor.
