Landefeld John Steven

Landefeld John Steven, operating as John Steven Landefeld Division, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered as a sole proprietorship to receive federal contract awards. The entity specializes in providing professional engineering, technical, IT, and economic consultative services to the U.S. government, particularly to the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Since its registration in SAM.gov in February 2018, Landefeld has consistently secured contracts to support the BEA's programs through lecture series, research, and advisory services. As a subject matter expert in economics, Landefeld contributes valuable insights to inform the BEA's economic analysis, indicators, and statistical programs.

The majority of Landefeld's federal contract awards have been firm fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) calls from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These contracts have ranged in value from $12,000 to $50,870, with performance periods typically lasting several months to a year. The scope of services provided includes professional engineering and technical support, IT service management, operations center support, project/program management labor, and economic consultative services. Notable among these was an Applied Macroeconomics Lecture Series and a contract for broader economic consultative services. While most contracts were not designated with specific set-asides, two awards in 2019 and 2020 were set aside for total small businesses. All contract performance has been centered in Washington, D.C., aligning with the BEA's location and mission as the primary statistical agency measuring U.S. economic activity.
