Effort, LLC

Effort, LLC, a limited liability company based in Annapolis, Maryland, delivers event management, logistics, and temporary infrastructure support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, with occasional small-business set-aside task orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—52 awards across the past several years, with zero subcontractor engagement—and specializes in large-scale federal commemorations, national celebrations, and ceremonial events in the National Capital Region and at remote federal installations.

Effort's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in National Capital Region event work. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service National Office dominates the portfolio at 41 awards (78% of all recent awards) and $20.3 million in combined potential value, anchored by a $9.5 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (IDC 140P3020D0009) for event management across the National Capital Region that has generated 33 task orders. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research contributes five awards totaling $5.1 million in combined potential value, primarily through a $3 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (86614322A00001) for innovative housing showcase support services running through March 2027, with four BPA calls issued to date. The Department of the Army Reserve Command places two awards worth $2.1 million, predominantly for temporary tent and field-feeding infrastructure at Fort Hunter Liggett in California. The Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard, National Gallery of Art, and other agencies account for the remainder. Recent representative work includes a $684,723 delivery order from the National Office (June 2026) for Fourth of July commemoration event management and logistics under the NPS-NCR contract; a $294,201 order (March 2026) for National Cherry Blossom Festival 2026 event support; a $3.6 million purchase order from the Department of the Army (June 2023) for a self-sustaining base camp supporting the National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, providing site design, food services, lodging, power, water, and sanitation for up to 500 personnel; a $1.9 million Army Reserve purchase order (May 2023) for temporary tent structures and field feeding at Fort Hunter Liggett; and a $665,000 BPA call from HUD (January 2025) for innovative housing showcase support services on the National Mall under time-and-materials pricing.

Vehicle position shows Effort holds three primary indefinite-delivery and blanket-purchase vehicles. The NPS-NCR IDC (140P3020D0009), valued at $9.5 million and set aside for small businesses, has generated the vast majority of Effort's volume—33 task orders totaling $7.5 million in combined potential value since award. A second NPS-NCR IDC (140P3026D0001), valued at $2 million and awarded March 2026 with a single-award structure, has generated four task orders ($1.2 million combined potential value) as of late June 2026. The HUD innovative housing showcase BPA (86614322A00001), valued at $3 million, has issued four calls totaling $2.1 million combined potential value. These vehicles are the operational backbone of Effort's federal footprint, allowing flexible task-order issuance across multiple line-of-business events (Fourth of July celebrations, Memorial Day, Labor Day, concert series, cherry blossom festivals, presidential inaugurations, and HUD housing showcases).

Activity trajectory shows steady output with a slight decline in 2026 year-to-date. Awards have remained relatively flat over the past five years—ranging from nine to ten per year across 2022–2025—with six awards recorded in 2026 as of late June. Combined potential value stands at $31.4 million across 52 awards, with $16.9 million obligated (54% of potential). Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a recompete exposure of $1.2 million combined potential value. The vendor's service-contract portfolio captured in the Service Contract Inventory is modest, reflecting Effort's emphasis on goods and equipment rental rather than services above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $566 thousand in FY2024 across roughly 19.2 FTEs, with a median government-paid hourly rate around $14.15/hr. SCI data is sparse and covers only a narrow subset of the vendor's full federal revenue; the portfolio's dollar concentration in capital-intensive event infrastructure (tents, portable facilities, power generation, audiovisual staging) sits outside SCI reporting scope.

Effort's primary NAICS concentration is 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), which covers 41 awards, with secondary codes including 541613 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services, 5 awards) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services, 3 awards). The primary PSC framing is Support–Management: Other (40 awards) and Support–Management: Logistics Support (6 awards), reflecting the event management and logistics character of the work. Effort competes predominantly in full-and-open solicitations with no SBA set-asides, though some task orders under the NPS-NCR IDC carry small-business set-aside designations. The vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint—100% of awards are prime contracts with zero named subcontractors—and operates with internal capacity for event planning, temporary facility procurement and deployment, security coordination, audiovisual staging, catering logistics, and operational infrastructure management across the National Capital Region and select military installations.
