Duty First LLC

Duty First LLC, a small disadvantaged business and small business joint venture based in Palmdale, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering telecommunications subscription services and facility maintenance to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force, with all six recent federal awards (100%) issued as prime contracts rather than subcontract work. The vendor competes full-and-open across its current footprint — no set-aside designations appear on its Naval Special Warfare Command (NSAWC) work, though its single Air Force Materiel Command purchase order carries a Total Small Business set-aside.

Duty First LLC's recent capability portfolio centers on two distinct service lines. The primary business is DirectTV subscription services, equipment, and support delivery, reflected in five awards totaling $658 thousand in combined potential value to NSAWC. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NSAWC (five-year term through August 20, 2030, $500 thousand ceiling) from which four delivery orders have been issued to date, consuming approximately $158 thousand against the available ceiling. Representative orders include a $50,841 delivery order issued April 25, 2026, a $45,600 order from September 3, 2025, and an $11,642 order from April 15, 2026, all for DirectTV subscription services and equipment at NSAWC facilities in San Diego. The secondary business line is light facilities maintenance: a $6,000 carpet cleaning and environmental maintenance purchase order awarded by Air Force Materiel Command on August 8, 2025, for work at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Customer concentration is extreme. NSAWC accounts for 100% of combined potential value across the six awards, with the Air Force Materiel Command contributing a single $6,000 order. Activity is nascent — the vendor's first award appears in August 2025 — with four awards (combined potential value $158 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. The vendor has not sub-awarded work and does not appear on any government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs; all revenue flows through the single NSAWC indefinite delivery contract and the one-off Air Force purchase order.
