Jeffrey Lating

Jeffrey Lating, a sole proprietorship based in Sparks Glencoe, Maryland, delivers specialized training services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with a focus on peer support and crisis intervention instruction. Lating holds a Ph.D. and operates without set-aside eligibility, competing in full-and-open federal training procurements.

Over the past two decades, Lating has generated 68 prime awards with a combined potential value of $73 thousand and $70 thousand in obligated dollars (96% execution rate). Customer concentration is fragmented across four agencies, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency Preparedness Section anchoring 42 awards ($18 thousand combined potential value) and representing the dominant customer by volume, while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 and the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security each account for significant dollar values despite smaller award counts. The Department of Veterans Affairs holds parity with FEMA in combined potential value ($18 thousand) across two awards. Work is categorized primarily under NAICS 61 (Educational Support Services, 57 awards) and PSC L (Education/Training, 46 awards under the general education and training code).

Recent activity shows sporadic engagement — two awards each in 2023, 2024, and 2026 — rather than sustained pipeline growth. Lating's award pattern reflects consistency in small-dollar, short-duration contracts. Representative work includes a $9,797.75 ratification purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 in July 2026 for training fees (ultimate completion September 2026), a $7,787.81 purchase order from the same VA entity in July 2026 for group crisis intervention training (September 2026 completion), and recurring peer support training contracts with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security ranging from $2,727 to $2,752 per course, dating to at least 2022. The Department of State work, delivered in two-day formats at locations including Sparks, Maryland and Vienna, Virginia, supports the Bureau's personnel protection and diplomatic security mission. Lating operates without subcontractors and does not hold seats on government-wide IDIQs or parent vehicles; all work flows directly as purchase orders from customer agencies.
