Leader Communications Inc.

Leader Communications Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, operates as a prime contractor delivering telecommunications infrastructure, IT services, and technical engineering support across Department of Defense, civilian, and federal agency customers on a mix of set-aside and full-and-open vehicles. The company competes predominantly under SDVOSB and total small business set-asides, with a smaller portion of work on unrestricted vehicles; it is also minority-owned and veteran-owned, positioning it across multiple socioeconomic categories that recur across its prime footprint.

Leader Communications' capability portfolio centers on base telecommunications system operations and maintenance, cable plant services, network enterprise support, IT infrastructure operations, software engineering, and command-and-control facility configuration management. Recent named work includes a $36.97 million delivery order from Army Cyber Command (November 2024) under the Information Management Communications Services IV (IMCS IV) IDIQ for IT services and administrative telephone services infrastructure operations and maintenance support at Fort Moore, Georgia, running through February 2030 and generating $3.1 million in invoiced labor across 27.0 FTEs in FY2025 with no subcontractor engagement; a $3.25 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order from Air Combat Command (September 2025) under the OASIS+ SDVOSB IDIQ for command and control facility configuration management support to USSTRATCOM at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, through July 2030; and a $9.23 million delivery order from the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center (August 2025) under the OASIS+SB Total Small Business IDIQ for C-130J Hercules Transport Aircraft engineering requirements review support in Warner Robins, Georgia, running through February 2031.

The vendor's customer base spans 53 distinct federal agencies, but concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of the Air Force and Department of Transportation entities. By award count, Air Force Materiel Command leads with 43 awards ($44 million combined potential value), followed by DOT's Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation (40 awards, $22.6 million) and DOT's Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters (30 awards, $1.33 billion). By potential value, however, GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio with 17 awards carrying $6.2 billion combined potential value, followed by Army Cyber Command (8 awards, $1.95 billion) and FAA Headquarters (30 awards, $1.33 billion). This divergence reflects Leader Communications' concentration of large-ceiling IDIQ vehicle positions rather than high-volume transactional work with any single customer.

Leader Communications holds positions on multiple high-capacity government-wide and agency-wide vehicles. Most significantly, the company received awards on two OASIS+ multiple-award IDIQs in late 2024: OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside (December 2024, $999.99 billion ceiling, five-year period through December 2029) and OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (September 2024, $999.99 billion ceiling, through September 2029). It also holds a $20 billion ceiling on NASA's SEWP VI GWAC (November 2026, through October 2036) under both Total Small Business and Partial Small Business set-aside variants. At the agency level, Leader Communications sits on IMCS IV (Army Cyber Command, $990 million ceiling through June 2028) and maintains a $392.8 million multiple-award BPA with Air Education and Training Command for digital and IP-based voice systems, Giant Voice, cable, antenna, microwave, and land mobile radio sustainment across CONUS and OCONUS Air Force installations (August 2025 award through August 2030). The company also holds a single-award $7 million indefinite-delivery contract with Air Mobility Command for base telecommunications services at Dover Air Force Base (May 2026 through April 2031) and seats on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and various legacy Army IDIQ vehicles (IMCS III, Veterans Technology Services 2 GWAC).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $54.5 million across prime contracts from FY2022 through FY2025, with FY2024 capturing $18.4 million across 118 FTEs and FY2025 showing a sharp contraction to $3.7 million across 29.2 FTEs. This trajectory reflects a transition in the SCI-reportable contract mix — the large IMCS IV and OASIS+ vehicles are newer (2023–2024 awards) and may not yet have generated full-year SCI reporting, and the vendor's invoicing patterns are likely front-loaded early in performance periods. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Leader Communications achieved zero subcontractor engagement by hours, indicating a fully self-performed delivery model on the service contracts captured in that dataset. GSA labor rates span 28 active categories ranging from $75.70/hr (Computer Programmer 1) to $221.93/hr (Computer Systems Engineer/Architect 3), with a median government-paid rate of $56.55/hr and a 90th percentile of $81.32/hr on invoiced work; no security-cleared roles appear in the GSA schedule offering.

Total awards in the source data number 407 across all federal sources (prime and sub combined, though 100% are prime), with 406 awarded as prime contracts or IDVs and 1 as a named subcontractor role. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $73.19 billion, but only $432.7 million (1%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the majority of the portfolio sitting in large-ceiling vehicle awards with minimal drawdown. Activity levels have remained relatively flat over the past five years — 3 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 to date — suggesting steady but modest new-task-order velocity rather than aggressive growth. Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 3 awards (combined potential value $2.1 million) reach ultimate completion in that window, indicating a backlog of longer-term vehicle stability. By capability focus, the top NAICS codes are Engineering Services (94 awards), Wired Telecommunications Carriers (89 awards), Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (35 awards), Facilities Support Services (29 awards), and Custom Computer Programming Services (28 awards), reflecting the company's anchor role in military base communications infrastructure and IT operations.
