ADC LTD NM

ADC LTD NM, doing business as Adcl, is a minority-owned, woman-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that operates as a prime contractor providing background investigation services, contract security officer services, and investigative support to federal agencies exclusively on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. The vendor competes across GSA Multiple Award Schedule platforms and single-award IDIQs, holding no current subcontractor relationships and performing 100% of work as a prime.

Adcl's capability footprint centers on personnel vetting, background investigations for federal employees and contractors, and armed and unarmed contract security officer services. Concrete work includes a $120 million single-award BPA with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through July 2029 for background investigation services supporting the Office of Professional Responsibility; a $109.1 million single-award IDC with the Federal Aviation Administration covering armed contract security officer services across 17 FAA facilities in the Western Service Area through March 2027; a $30.6 million IDC with the FAA Eastern Service Area for security officer services through September 2025 (recompete risk); and a $24.95 million FAA IDC for Southeastern Service Area contract security officers completing September 2026. Adcl also holds a $5.1 million single-award BPA with the U.S. Secret Service for background investigations and recent delivery orders include $48.1 million to Customs and Border Protection, $31.2 million to ICE, $2.93 million to the Secret Service, and $826,650 to CISA, all for background investigation services.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward Department of Homeland Security components. The top five customer agencies by potential value—CBP ($554.2 million, 20 awards), ICE ($506.1 million, 16 awards), FAA ($342.1 million, 5 awards), GSA ($298.2 million, 2 awards), and DHS Chief Procurement Officer ($251.7 million, 4 awards)—represent 91% of combined potential value across 235 awards. CBP and ICE alone account for approximately $1.06 billion, or roughly 49% of the vendor's total $2.15 billion portfolio. A secondary cluster sits with Social Security Administration (29 awards, $5.9 million combined potential value) for residency verification investigative services. The vendor serves 34 distinct federal agencies total, but DHS-related work dominates by magnitude.

Adcl's top vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 90 task orders valued at $1.7 billion. Single-award IDCs and BPAs with ICE, FAA, and the Secret Service anchor the highest-value work. The vendor also places work against Human Resources & Equal Employment Opportunity Services (31 task orders, $666.9 million combined potential value), though this vehicle designation appears to reflect administrative classification rather than the core security and investigative scope. Primary NAICS categories are Investigation and Personal Background Check Services (44 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (43 awards), and Security Guards and Patrol Services (34 awards).

Recent activity shows modest volume: six awards in 2026 year-to-date, seven in 2024, four each in 2022 and 2023, and three in 2025. Eight awards totaling $92.3 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk and opportunity for competitors on FAA and SSA platforms. The vendor's SCI-reportable federal service-contract activity shows $76 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, with 171 FTEs in FY2024 (a sharp increase from 25.9 FTEs in FY2023), reflecting the scale-up of FAA security operations. On SCI-captured contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $121.74 per hour, with investigator and analyst roles clustered in the $84–$107 range and security escort and unarmed guard roles priced at $52–$72 per hour. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio reflects this same spectrum: Security Escort positions at $52/hour through Lead Investigator roles at $107.12/hour, with security-clearance requirements for higher-level investigative and case-analysis positions. Adcl performs zero subcontract work and uses zero subcontractors on SCI-reportable prime contracts, indicating a vertically integrated delivery model reliant on direct-hire personnel rather than sub-team subcontractors.
