Ldss, Inc.

Ldss, Inc., doing business as Ldss, is a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, that delivers professional consulting, leadership development, organizational performance improvement, and technical assistance services as a prime contractor to civilian federal agencies. The vendor operates predominantly under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) through a single-award blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget, with 99 percent of its recent award volume structured as prime contracts and minimal subcontract engagement.

Ldss's client footprint is heavily concentrated in Interior. The Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget accounts for 528 awards worth $389.4 million in combined potential value—98 percent of all awards—making it the dominant customer by count. A secondary mega-contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ($6.01 billion ceiling) and smaller task orders to the Defense Contract Management Agency ($4.2 million), the National Science Foundation ($3.8 million), and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board ($3 million) round out the top five customers by potential value. The concentration skew is extreme: Interior dominates by award count while the DLA contract dominates dollars.

Ldss's capability portfolio centers on soft-skills consulting delivered through Interior's Federal Consulting Group umbrella. Named work includes multiple delivery orders and BPA calls to the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) for leadership training programs (Emerging Leaders I, II, and III; Practical Introduction to Supervising Employees; Leading from the Frontlines; Senior Leadership Cohort programs) ranging from tens of thousands to over $700 thousand per call; a $3.8 million Definitive Contract with the National Science Foundation for sexual assault and harassment prevention and response (SAPHR) services, including victim advocacy and workplace climate assessment through subcontractors Alteristic, Inc., the National Organization for Victim Assistance, and Soteria Solutions; a $2.6 million delivery order with the Defense Contract Management Agency for leadership development assessment and coaching; and repeated calls from the Office of Personnel Management's Center of Leadership Development for consulting and facilitation support to leadership courses. Additional work spans the Environmental Protection Agency (office-of-research and environmental-quality consulting), the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (stakeholder engagement and organizational development), the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (workforce augmentation), and the National Park Service (coaching and facilitation). Recent call sizes range from $1,042 to $4.3 million.

Ldss holds two Interior BPAs issued under the MAS: a $36.5 million single-award agreement awarded February 20, 2024, extending through May 26, 2026, and a $30 million follow-on BPA awarded April 19, 2023, expiring July 18, 2024 (now expired). These are the parent vehicles for nearly all task-order activity. Over 60 calls have been issued from the primary BPA to Interior-managed programs and pass-through orders for CECOM, OPM, NSF, EPA, DHS CISA, DNFSB, USPTO, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and SOCOM. The MAS vehicle itself carries 908 task orders worth $529.9 million combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio. A secondary GSA vehicle—The Professional Services Schedule—carries 155 task orders worth $44.9 million.

Activity has been cyclical. Award volume peaked at 85 in 2024, declined to 19 in 2025, and fell to 3 through mid-October 2026, reflecting the expiration of the $30 million BPA in July 2024 and reliance on the newer $36.5 million primary agreement. Within the next twenty-four months, seven awards carrying $10.1 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion, presenting moderate recompete exposure tied to Interior BPA call cycle management.

SCI-reported invoicing tells a smaller story. The dataset captures $76.7 million in prime-contract invoicing across FY2022–FY2025, declining from $17.8 million in FY2022 to $13.9 million in FY2025. FTE staffing on SCI-reportable work ranged from 9.2 FTEs in FY2022 to 7.3 FTEs in FY2025, indicating a compact delivery footprint. Median government-paid hourly rates sat at $275.65/hr, with a 10th percentile of $118.83/hr and a 90th percentile of $14,391.98/hr—the latter driven by high-value fixed-price task orders. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 37 percent of total contractor hours; Ldss named 168 unique subcontractors across the dataset, though recent sub-award detail shows engagement with Serco Inc., KBR Wyle Services LLC, and unspecified partners on logistics, information analysis, and engineering-research work.

Ldss's GSA labor portfolio spans 52 active categories priced from $39.71/hr (HR Junior Consultant, bachelor's degree) to $387.71/hr (Executive Coach, master's degree, 15 years' experience), with mid-range positions (Senior Management Consultant at $138.21/hr, Principal Consultant at $200.97/hr) anchoring most billable delivery. No security-cleared positions are offered. The vendor competes fully open; no set-aside posture recurs across the prime footprint, though its WOSB status may influence Interior's selection rationale given the absence of formal set-aside language in most awards.

The vendor's footprint is Interior-centric, MAS-dependent, and cyclically tied to BPA call-down patterns rather than organic expansion. Recent growth has stalled as older BPAs expire and the primary contract matures, leaving Ldss vulnerable to Interior's annual budget and program prioritization for Federal Consulting Group task orders.
