About the company
Applied Development, LLC, a woman-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, 8(a)-certified small business headquartered in Riverdale Park, Maryland, delivers American Sign Language interpreting, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART), foreign language translation, and disability program support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor competes across mixed set-aside postures—8(a) Sole Source awards anchor the largest individual contract ceilings, while unrestricted delivery orders and BPA calls form the bulk of volume. Applied Development is minority-owned (Black American) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; its SBA 8(a) certification expires May 29, 2025.
Capability portfolio centers on accessibility and communication services. Recent prime work includes a $15.4 million definitive contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development (awarded September 2022) for ASL interpreting, CART, and note-taking services through September 2027; a $4.5 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract with the Defense Human Resources Activity (awarded September 2021) for labor supporting strategic communication services through September 2026; a $4.5 million firm-fixed-price contract with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (awarded February 2024) for sign language interpreter support services through January 2029; and a $4.4 million delivery order from the Department of State (awarded April 2025) for sign language interpreting services at unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret classification levels through April 2027. On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Applied Development holds 32 active labor categories spanning administrative assistance ($33.60/hr) through subject-matter expert roles ($252.85/hr), with education requirements from high school through bachelor's degree and no clearance required for most categories; a $1.5 million WOSB-set-aside MAS delivery order with the General Services Administration (awarded March 2026) for national deaf and hard of hearing interpreter services runs through March 2028.
Customer concentration is highly fragmented across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count—Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (9 awards), Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (8 awards), Department of State Bureau of Human Resources (7 awards), Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (6 awards), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (6 awards)—represent only 38% of awards. By potential value, however, the distribution becomes extreme: Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick anchors the footprint with $25 billion in combined potential value across two awards, followed by Defense Human Resources Activity ($16.5 million across 5 awards), NASA Shared Services Center ($8.6 million across 2 awards), the Executive Office of the President White House Office ($4.5 million across 3 awards), and the Department of the Army Medical Command ($3.8 million across 2 awards). The VA Strategic Acquisition Center outlier reflects a single massive IDV or master vehicle holding; the true operating customer base skews toward smaller order values across dozens of agencies.
Parent vehicles position Applied Development as a specialized-services provider with repeatable task-order platforms. The vendor operates under an Indefinite Delivery Contract 19AQMM23D0056 carrying 8 task orders worth $6.8 million combined potential value (likely a VA vehicle given the naming convention), Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C24518A0067 with 6 task orders ($297 thousand combined), BPA 20341219A00005 with 5 task orders ($123 thousand combined), Indefinite Delivery Contract VA25917D0112 with 5 task orders ($1 million combined), and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule with 4 task orders ($1.9 million combined). Applied Development also holds a $15 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of State Bureau of Human Resources (awarded March 2023, completion March 2028) and an $8.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded September 2022, completion September 2027).
Activity trajectory shows volatility over the observation window: 11 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, recovering to 10 in 2024, then falling to 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. The vendor faces a recompete cliff of eight awards (combined potential value $29 million) with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $8.1 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($408 thousand in FY2022, $3 million in FY2023, $4.7 million in FY2024), with government-paid hourly rates ranging from a 10th-percentile floor of $111.66/hr to a median of $168.97/hr to a 90th-percentile ceiling of $964.41/hr on prime contracts. SCI workforce showed 0.3 FTEs in FY2022, scaling to 15.1 FTEs in FY2023 and holding at 14.9 FTEs in FY2024; these figures reflect only SCI-reportable prime contracts and represent a subset of the vendor's total federal services delivery and a smaller subset of total enterprise revenue. Applied Development operates as a prime contractor across all awards and subcontracts only 6% of hours on SCI-reportable contracts to a single named subcontractor, indicating a capacity-driven, in-house delivery model rather than a teaming or feeder strategy.
