Ldss, Inc.

Ldss, Inc., doing business as Ldss, is an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, that delivers professional consulting, coaching, leadership development, and organizational performance improvement services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). Operating primarily on General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule vehicles, Ldss competes full-and-open and does not rely on set-aside designations—the company's WOSB status contributes to selection but is not a procurement mechanism.

Ldss's federal portfolio is heavily concentrated within a single customer relationship. The Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget accounts for 528 of 544 total awards (98% coverage) and $389.4 million of the $6.42 billion combined potential value. This concentration reflects Ldss's role as the prime contractor on two large blanket purchase agreements: a $36.5 million BPA running through May 26, 2026, and a second $30 million BPA extended through July 18, 2024. These vehicles, issued under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, funnel task orders to Ldss from dozens of federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Communication-Electronics Command (CECOM) for leadership training programs (Emerging Leaders I, II, and III; Practical Introduction to Supervising Employees; Leading from the Frontlines); the Office of Personnel Management's Center of Leadership Development; the National Science Foundation for victim advocacy and sexual assault and harassment prevention; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; the National Park Service; the Bureau of Indian Affairs; the Air Force Research Laboratory for digital transformation and technology transfer; and U.S. Special Operations Command. Recent representative task orders include $4.3 million for Air Force Research Laboratory Department of Air Force Technology Transfer and Transition support (September 2024), $3.6 million for Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board workforce augmentation (June 2025), and $1.6 million for Defense Contract Management Agency Leadership Development and Assessment (September 2025). This dependency on a single primary vehicle—while it generates substantial order flow—concentrates recompete risk: 7 awards totaling $9.7 million reach ultimate completion within the next 24 months.

Beyond the Department of the Interior relationship, Ldss holds one outlier award: a $6.01 billion Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime contract with a sub-award structure, though only 1% of the total award count consists of subcontract work. Recent sub-work includes program management and sustainment services to Serco Inc. (November 2025), information analysis center support (March 2025), and engineering and sustainment research to KBR Wyle Services (January 2024).

Ldss operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (99% of awards). Across its SCI-reportable service contracts—a federal-only reporting segment covering contracts above $150,000—the vendor reported $17.8 million in invoiced revenue in FY2022, $23.9 million in FY2023, and $21.1 million in FY2024, with workforce ranging from 35.8 to 47.0 FTEs on those contracts. SCI data shows an average sub-hours share of 40% across prime contracts, indicating Ldss builds delivery teams that rely substantially on subcontractors for roughly two-fifths of labor hours; 155 named subcontractors appear across the SCI dataset. Government-paid rates on SCI contracts span $118.73/hr at the 10th percentile (junior administrative roles) to a 90th percentile of $16,542.14/hr (reflecting senior coaching and facilitation roles billed at day or project rates). Median rates cluster around $281.87/hr, consistent with mid-to-senior professional services. Ldss's GSA labor portfolio includes 39 active categories ranging from Junior Administrative Specialist at $53.47/hr to Executive Coach at $387.71/hr, with no security-cleared positions offered and education requirements from high school through master's degree. The breadth of GSA categories—spanning administrative, program analyst, quality assurance, training, and coaching specialties—aligns with Ldss's stated capability in organizational development, leadership training, and consulting.

Award volume has been relatively stable at 74–85 awards per year from 2022 through 2024, dropping to 19 in 2025 and 1 in 2026; this decline reflects the recency of the source data (mid-2026) and does not yet capture ongoing ordering activity on the $36.5 million and $30 million BPAs, which continue to issue calls. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration is Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (538 of 541 awards), with negligible presence in research and development, training, and real-estate categories. The company does not compete on Department of Defense, intelligence, or defense industrial base contracts as a direct prime; its DoD exposure flows through subcontract relationships and the Defense Logistics Agency award.

Ldss does not operate under federal grant programs and carries no classified or security-cleared work in its disclosed footprint. The company's market position is characterized by depth in a single customer relationship (Interior's Federal Consulting Group network), horizontal delivery across civilian agencies via blanket purchase agreement calls, and a flexible subcontracting model that enables rapid scaling of coaching, facilitation, and organizational consulting services without maintaining a large permanent staff. The business model—heavy reliance on BPA vehicles, 40% average sub-hours, and nearly complete prime-contractor posture—positions Ldss as a specialized consulting firm rather than a broad systems integrator or major subcontractor feeder.
