What Echelon 1 Solutions does

Echelon 1 Solutions (E1S) is a Tampa, Florida-based Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded in 2019 that provides logistics optimization, facilities management, and acquisition support services to U.S. Department of Defense organizations. The company operates at the intersection of operational requirements and procurement execution, helping DoD customers integrate requirements development, funding alignment, and procurement through flexible DoD acquisition vehicles. It was founded by a 28-year military logistician with experience in maritime operations, industrial support, Special Operations, and expeditionary support, and the firm is registered with Cage Code 8F5C1.

E1S's commercial offering combines its own logistics, facilities, and production support services with four core partner brands—Highland Engineering, Rapistak, SecurAll, and SharkCage—integrating commercial products to address physical security, space optimization, supply chain management, and production support requirements for military customers. The company publishes a transparent MSRP price list of more than 20 active SKUs spanning diving equipment, platforms, and security products, with prices ranging from approximately $736 to $260,960 and separately itemized installation services typically priced at 10-15% of the base unit cost.

Revenue mechanics rely on direct enterprise/government sales: E1S engages prospects via its website contact channel (phone and email), responds to DoD solicitations through government procurement portals, and sells products and installation services through one-time unit pricing. The customer base is concentrated within DoD organizations, served by a team of 1-10 employees. The company holds no external funding, has no parent company, and maintains no disclosed subsidiaries, operating as an independent privately-held entity.

Emerging players

• Mission Essential Personnel: Mission Essential provides government and DoD support services including logistics, facilities, and contingency operations, partially comparable to E1S in DoD-focused logistics and operational support, though at greater scale and with broader geographic reach.

Direct peers

• COLSA Corporation: COLSA is a mid-size defense services company providing systems engineering, logistics, and integration support to DoD, comparable to E1S in its focus on DoD customers and logistics/operational support, though at significantly larger scale.
• Markon Solutions: Markon is an SDVOSB providing management consulting, acquisition, and facilities support to the federal government, closely comparable to E1S in SDVOSB status, customer focus on DoD/IC, and integrated acquisition-and-facilities service delivery.
• Camgian Microsystems: Camgian is an SDVOSB defense technology firm selling sensor and integrated systems into DoD, comparable to E1S in SDVOSB status and DoD product-integrator model, though with more proprietary hardware focus.
• Aetos Systems: Aetos Systems is an SDVOSB providing IT, systems engineering, and operational support to DoD and federal agencies, comparable to E1S as a small SDVOSB integrator reliant on set-aside contracts and federal procurement vehicles.
• CALIBRE Systems: CALIBRE Systems is a defense and federal professional services firm that, like E1S, is SDVOSB-certified and provides facilities, logistics, and acquisition-related services to DoD and other federal clients. It is the most direct comparable in terms of SDVOSB positioning, DoD customer base, and integrated services model.

Broad incumbents
