Lcof Silver Spring Operating LLC

Lcof Silver Spring Operating LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a for-profit limited liability company, operates as a prime contractor providing event and conference support services — hotel meeting space, audiovisual equipment, sleeping room blocks, and facility rentals — exclusively to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under Total Small Business set-asides and unrestricted full-and-open competitions.

Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, Lcof Silver Spring Operating LLC has built a narrow but sustained customer relationship with NOAA. All nine of the vendor's federal awards derive from a single customer — the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — representing the entirety of the vendor's federal portfolio ($232 thousand combined potential value). The work centers on recurring NOAA advisory panel meetings, training conferences, and regional fishery management council gatherings held in the Silver Spring and Washington, D.C. area. Representative awards include a $69.980 million firm fixed-price purchase order placed September 14, 2023, for Regional Fishery Management Council Training conference space with four one-year option periods and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2028; a $60.262 million Total Small Business purchase order awarded August 12, 2026, for 2026 New Council Member Training meeting hotel space, meeting room space, and audiovisual services scheduled for October 20–22, 2026; and a $28.437 million Total Small Business purchase order awarded July 28, 2026, for HMS Advisory Panel meeting space and hotel accommodations in Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. Two awards with combined potential value of $98 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure for both the vendor and competing bidders.

Lcof Silver Spring Operating LLC operates purely as a prime contractor on federal work (100% of awards) with no subcontract presence in the source data. Awards concentrate in NAICS Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels (all nine awards) and PSC Lease/Rental of Conference Space and Facilities (seven awards). The vendor's activity profile shows three awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — a pattern of modest, episodic wins rather than sustained growth, with $114 thousand obligated against $232 thousand ceiling value across the portfolio (49% utilization rate). The Total Small Business set-aside designation appears in five of nine awards; the remaining four awards competed unrestricted. The vendor's federal footprint reflects deep specialization in NOAA meeting logistics rather than diversified federal market presence.
