About the company
1ST Choice, LLC, doing business as 1ST Choice Government Solutions, is an SBA-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business and women-owned small business based in Silver Spring, Maryland, that provides temporary administrative, clerical, and professional staffing services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor on GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicles, with no subcontractor activity in its recent award footprint.
1ST Choice operates across 274 prime awards with a combined potential value of $328.1 million against 58 distinct federal customer agencies. The vendor's customer concentration is highly fragmented by award count — the top five agencies account for only 32% of awards — but heavily skewed by potential value, where GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates with five awards carrying $256.6 million in combined potential value, almost entirely attributable to two Federal Supply Schedule (MAS) contracts awarded in February and March 2024, each carrying a $123.5 million ceiling through 2029. NOAA represents the second-largest customer by potential value ($14.7 million across 16 awards), followed by the Department of Transportation, the Treasury Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Navy Office of Naval Research. Excluding the two large GSA MAS vehicles, the vendor's award footprint consists of 269 smaller task orders and BPA calls, predominantly sub-$1 million, against Treasury, NOAA, Justice (U.S. Attorney's Offices), and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on temporary staffing, administrative support, clerical services, and office management, grounded in award categories spanning Temporary Help Services (188 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (35 awards), and Office Administrative Services (27 awards). Representative recent work includes a $6.5 million delivery order from NOAA (April 2026, through March 2031) for administrative and communications support services under the non-set-aside MAS, a $214 thousand Total Small Business clerical contractor services delivery order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices (February 2025, through February 2028), and a $246 thousand BPA call from the Office of the Inspector General (awarded September 2021, completed September 2024) for administrative assistant support in Miami Lakes, Florida. The GSA labor portfolio spans 177 categories with hourly rates from $31.01 (Desk Clerk) to $105.11 (Computer Programmer IV), covering clerical, technical, quality assurance, illustration, and mid-level programming roles, all without security-clearance requirements and with education requirements ranging from high school through bachelor's degree.
1ST Choice places the majority of its work under the Multiple Award Schedule (148 task orders, $35.8 million combined potential value), with secondary vehicle activity under legacy temporary support contracts with Treasury (the OCC Temporary Support Service vehicle, 35 orders through 2016) and general administrative staffing arrangements. The vendor holds two active GSA MAS multiple-award schedules: one non-set-aside contract (March 2024–2029, $123.5 million ceiling) and one Total Small Business set-aside contract (February 2024–2029, $123.5 million ceiling), both in place to support nationwide federal ordering. Activity has been sparse in recent years — one award in 2026, one in 2025, two in 2024, and three in 2021 — with only one award ($214 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The SCI dataset captures $100 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2022 (1.2 FTEs) with no SCI-reportable activity in FY2024, reflecting the vendor's positioning on firm fixed-price and schedule-based task orders that fall below the SCI reporting threshold or are not SCI-reportable service contracts. Across its prime contract footprint, 1ST Choice operates with zero subcontractor engagement, building its delivery teams directly rather than leveraging subs.
