Dynamic Planning & Response

What Dynamic Planning & Response does

Dynamic Planning & Response (DP&R), founded in 2011 by retired U.S. Army officer Chels Chae, is a Honolulu-headquartered Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) providing professional consulting services to federal government clients. The firm operates across five core service lines: Emergency Management/Program Management (disaster preparedness exercises and homeland security support), Facility Management (electrical, HVAC, engineering, and architectural services), IT & Communications (network management, C4ISR management, systems integration, and the proprietary DC3 Mobile Communications System built on Cisco infrastructure), Medical Staffing (personnel and billing support for VA hospitals and health centers), and Training & Leader Development (design thinking and leadership workshops). Its technology backbone includes access to a sourcing network of 1,500 vendors and 1.1 million SKUs for immediate technology product distribution. The firm holds positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles including HCaTS, STARS III, and OASIS+, enabling streamlined federal procurement access.

DP&R generates revenue exclusively through professional services contracts awarded by federal agencies, primarily under SDVOSB set-aside competitions and via teaming subcontracts with prime contractors such as GDIT, V2X (formerly Vectrus), and Cayuse Technologies. Named customers include the U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Defense, Pacific Air Forces, Tripler Army Medical Center, VA Hospitals, the State of Hawaii, and the 9th Mission Support Command. The company graduated from the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program in December 2023 after 11 years, and subsequently transitioned from a brick-and-mortar office to a fully virtual operating model to reduce overhead. Notable recognitions include the HIREVets Platinum Medallion Award (2021) and consecutive Best Places to Work in Hawaii designations (2022-2024). The firm maintains a dispersed workforce of 11-50 employees across the mainland U.S. and U.S. territories, with international workshop engagements in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan.
