Leadership Connect, Inc.

Leadership Connect, Inc., doing business as Leadership Connect, is a Washington, D.C.-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation that sells subscription-based access to its data-driven decision intelligence platform, providing directories, organizational charts, contact information, expertise locators, and intelligence briefings to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of recent awards). The vendor competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across the vast majority of its federal footprint, though occasional awards have carried Total Small Business set-aside markings.

Leadership Connect's core capability centers on organizational intelligence and leadership research tools delivered through digital subscription platforms. Representative prime work includes a $1.29 million delivery order from the Government Accountability Office for a data feed of congressional and federal agency metadata to support GAO's USORG record system (ultimate completion January 2029); a $1.14 million delivery order exercising option year 2 for enterprise-wide electronic access to the Leadership Connect database, also from GAO (ultimate completion September 2029); and a $639.7 thousand delivery order from the Department of State's Office of the Secretary for web search portals and information services (ultimate completion March 2030). Smaller awards typically range from $8 thousand to $350 thousand for one-year or multi-year subscription renewals across civilian agencies.

Customer concentration is broad and distributed. The top five customer organizations by award count account for just 12% of total awards, with the Justice Management Division (21 awards, $214 thousand combined potential value), Department of State Bureau of Administration (14 awards, $440 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (14 awards, $142 thousand) leading by volume. When ranked by potential value, the concentration shifts: the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Chief Information Officer anchors the portfolio with 7 awards worth $2 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (8 awards, $987 thousand) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Central Office (9 awards, $720 thousand). This diffusion across 137 distinct customer agencies signals high customer fragmentation and reliance on numerous small subscription orders rather than a handful of large prime contracts.

Leadership Connect holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Library of Congress under the FEDLINK (Federal Library and Information Network) program, valued at $3 million with completion through December 31, 2026. This vehicle has generated approximately $3.3 million in aggregate delivery orders across federal agencies. The vendor also places work under several other indefinite delivery contracts, most notably IDC 03310319D0074 (19 task orders, $3.3 million combined potential value), IDC LCFDL16C0017 (18 task orders, $1.6 million), and IDC LC09D7056 (27 task orders, $913 thousand). These vehicles represent the vendor's primary paths to market; the FEDLINK vehicle in particular enables coordinated federal agency access to Leadership Connect's subscription offerings.

Activity has remained steady but modest in scale. The past five years show awards ranging from 13 to 23 per year, with 2024 representing a peak (23 awards). Recent trajectory (2025: 13 awards; 2026 year-to-date: 3 awards) suggests flat or slightly declining activity when annualized. Eighteen awards with combined potential value of $2.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors. Leadership Connect registered in SAM.gov in 2001 and has maintained continuous federal contracting activity; the award portfolio spans over two decades, indicating sustained market presence across civilian and select defense agencies with no identified major prime contractors or subcontractors.
