Artemis

Artemis LDE Division, doing business as LDE, a France-based for-profit limited liability company, provides logistics and enterprise resource planning services to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and has built a narrow, specialized customer footprint centered on State Department book programs and cultural diplomacy initiatives.

LDE's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs accounts for 14 of 16 awards and $10.3 million of the $11.2 million combined potential value; the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs holds the remaining 2 awards and $870 thousand. This 100% State Department concentration reflects LDE's deep specialization in the Regional Book Program, supporting the distribution of educational publications in French and Portuguese through the U.S. Embassy in Paris and related locations across France. Work encompasses shipping, warehousing, distribution, and ERP support for the Nouveaux Horizons and Books in French/Books in Portuguese program lines.

LDE holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with State: a $2,989,700 single-award IDC (19GE5019D0014) awarded October 1, 2024, running through September 29, 2027, and a $3.35 million contract (19GE5024D0042). The vendor has exercised multiple option years across these vehicles; recent representative work includes a $554,065.74 delivery order for logistics and ERP services supporting the Regional Book Program (Option Year 2), a $608,747.04 order for regional book program logistics and ERP, and a $669,388.21 order for logistics services at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. All work is performed in France, with place of performance at Hindisheim and Molsheim. NAICS classification centers on General Warehousing and Storage (8 awards) and Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers (4 awards); PSC codes cluster around warehouse operations and book distribution support.

Activity is sparse but persistent. The vendor has received one award per year in recent years (2022–2025), with a single award in 2026; combined dollars obligated stand at $4.8 million (43% of the $11.2 million potential value ceiling). Only one award ($554 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. LDE does not subcontract and holds no GWAC or government-wide vehicle positions; it operates as a direct vendor to State's book program logistics operations only.
