About the company
Lawrence Economic Development Corporation, a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in South Point, Ohio, operates as a federal grant recipient providing procurement technical assistance and regional economic development services to businesses and underserved communities across Appalachian Ohio. The organization functions exclusively as a prime recipient across its federal footprint (96% of recent awards); it does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and federal contracting with LEDC is limited to cooperative agreements and project grants.
LEDC's primary capability centers on administering the APEX Accelerator, a Procurement Technical Assistance for Business Firms (PTAP) program operating under CFDA 12.002 through the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Since 2022, LEDC has received four consecutive cooperative agreements from the Office of the Secretary of Defense to establish and maintain this accelerator, providing free education and technical support to help businesses—including newly started entities—develop capacity to compete for federal, state, and local government contracts. The most recent award, dated April 1, 2026, carries $408,195.24 in funding for the April 2026–March 2027 performance period. Prior APEX Accelerator cooperative agreements ran through August 2022, August 2023, May 2025, and April 2026, representing sustained, recurring demand from DoD for LEDC's PTAP delivery in the region.
Beyond PTAP, LEDC serves as a prime recipient on regional economic development and workforce training initiatives. In September 2023, LEDC received a project grant from the Employment and Training Administration focused on the Southern Ohio Manufacturing Workforce Pipeline, targeting 50 total participants and 10 participants obtaining new or enhanced employment across dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new workforce entrants in Scioto and Lawrence Counties through the Scioto–Lawrence County development corridor. The award runs through September 2026 and includes planned subawards to regional partners. LEDC also holds project grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission for workforce training and arts, culture, and tourism initiatives (both awarded October 2022, running through September 2025).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Defense Logistics Agency and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, which together account for 13 of the 21 awards reflected in the top-customer rankings (88% coverage of all awards). LEDC's combined dollar obligations across all 24 federal awards total $20 million, spanning activity from October 2007 to April 2026. Activity has slowed in recent years—one award in 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026—compared to three awards each in 2022 and 2023. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. The organization holds one sub-award relationship as a sub-recipient under Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative Inc. on an Appalachian Regional Commission construction grant dated April 2023.
