First Title & Escrow, LLC

First Title & Escrow, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Rockville, Maryland, delivers title insurance, title searches, closing services, and real estate transaction support to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The firm is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, though a significant share of recent calls and delivery orders carry no set-aside designation. NAICS 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices) frames 88 of the 111 awards in the source footprint.

First Title & Escrow holds a multi-million-dollar portfolio anchored by a $14 million indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (awarded January 30, 2023, through January 28, 2028) for realty support services—land surveys, easement preparation, title searches, title insurance, and closing services—across the Arkansas Valley Conduit project and related water infrastructure initiatives in the western United States. Under that vehicle, the firm delivered a $2,500 post-award conference service in February 2023 and a $23,975.75 delivery order for land surveys on two parcels of the AVC Boone Reach 2 project in Loveland, Colorado, in June 2023. The firm also holds multiple blanket purchase agreements with Army Corps of Engineers districts: a $200,000 BPA with the New York District (awarded April 15, 2022, through June 12, 2027) issuing six calls for title and closing services; a $495,000 multiple-award BPA with the Corps' General offices (awarded March 10, 2022, through March 10, 2027) for title services in Missouri and Illinois; and a substantial portfolio of smaller BPA calls with the Baltimore District across projects including Welsbach and General Gas Mantle Superfund Site ($38,132), Greenbrook Flood Damage Project ($32,333), and Indian River Inlet ($5,190), all awarded April 15, 2026, under Total Small Business set-asides with completion dates extending to 2027–2029. The firm also subcontracts title services to USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for Agricultural Conservation Easement Program work, most recently a $28,780.94 BPA call in November 2023 for title and closing services across eight wetland reserve easement enrollments in Louisiana.

Customer concentration shows fragmentation. By award count, the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service leads with 39 awards ($17 thousand combined potential value—notably micro-transactional), followed by the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District (22 awards, $2.3 million) and USDA NRCS Southeast Region (17 awards, $159 thousand), together covering 86% of awards. By combined potential value, however, the Bureau of Reclamation dominates at 97% of the portfolio (3 awards, $14 million), with the Corps of Engineers Baltimore District second at $2.3 million. The divergence reflects the Bureau's single large IDIQ anchoring the value footprint while transactional title calls scatter across multiple districts and NRCS regions.

Activity shows volatility: eight awards in 2021, thirteen in 2022, declining to five in 2023 and five in 2024, with three awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Five awards totaling $224 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore enter recompete window. The firm holds no subcontract portfolio—all 111 awards are primes—and does not participate in GWACs or government-wide IDIQs visible in the source data. Parent vehicles are single-award and multiple-award BPAs issued by specific Corps districts and NRCS regions, with the NRCS National BPA (12FPC119A0003) representing the highest order count (12 task orders, $147 thousand combined potential value) among recurring vehicles.
