Linchpin Solutions Inc.

Linchpin Solutions Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business and SBA 8(a) program participant, delivers command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) support services, training course instruction, satellite communications maintenance, logistics and warehouse support, and engineering services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards). The company competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides, with a secondary footprint on full-and-open vehicles like the SHIELD contract and allied-training delivery orders.

Linchpin is a Subchapter S corporation with subsidiary Linchpin Defense, LLC, and holds active SBA certifications as an 8(a) program participant (expires May 2027), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (expires May 2026), and veteran-owned small business (expires May 2026). The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and is Hispanic American-owned.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Defense components. The top five customers by award count account for 78% of recent awards, led by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (28 awards, $53.7 million combined potential value), the U.S. Marine Corps (11 awards, $74.5 million), and Army PEO Command Control Communications-Tactical (10 awards, $42.5 million), with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (4 awards, $128.7 million) and United States Special Operations Command (5 awards, $2.5 million) rounding out active engagement. The potential-value ranking diverges sharply from the award-count ranking because Linchpin holds three government-wide vehicle positions with combined ceilings of $87.8 billion; the GSA Federal Acquisition Service awards for OASIS+ 8(a) and OASIS+ SDVOSB IDIQs plus the Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD contract account for $87.4 billion of the $87.77 billion combined potential across all awards.

Linchpin's parent-vehicle footprint centers on four indefinite delivery contracts under Office of the Secretary of Defense (17 and 9 task orders respectively, totaling $8.4 million combined potential value), the 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract ($50 billion ceiling, competitive 8(a) set-aside, awarded February 2022, expiring July 2026), the OASIS+ 8(a) Small Business Multiple Agency Contract ($999,999,999,999 ceiling, competitive 8(a) set-aside, awarded November 2024, expiring November 2029), the OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Multiple Agency Contract ($999,999,999,999 ceiling, SDVOSB set-aside, awarded September 2024, expiring September 2029), and the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract ($151 billion ceiling, full-and-open multiple-award IDIQ, awarded December 2025, expiring December 2035). Task orders have been placed under Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity Networks, Engineering, Test and Cybersecurity Services (4 task orders, $11 million) and the Navy's 8(a) Incubator for Programmatic, Engineering and Logistics Support (2 task orders, $2.5 million).

Activity scaled sharply from ten awards in 2022 to 25 in 2025, with seven in 2026 through mid-March. Representative definitive contracts illustrate Linchpin's core capability set: a $6.71 million cost-plus-fixed-fee satellite communications maintenance center contract with PEO C3T (April 2025, 8(a) sole source); a $6.49 million cost-plus-fixed-fee SMART-T Help Desk support contract with Army Communications Electronics Command (November 2021, 8(a) sole source, extends September 2026); a $6.28 million cost-plus-fixed-fee shipping, receiving, and warehouse support contract for the Commercial Satellite Terminal Program with PEO C3T (April 2025, 8(a) sole source); a $4.44 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Army PEO C3T Satellite Maintenance Center support (December 2023, 8(a) sole source, extended through April 2025); and a $3.8 million firm fixed-price delivery order for Joint Intelligence Directorate academic support services with Office of the Secretary of Defense (December 2025, no set-aside, extends December 2025). Linchpin also holds a single-award $3.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with OSD for Joint Intelligence Directorate academic support (January 2025, no set-aside, extends July 2025) and a single-award $41.6 million IDC for Joint and Allied Training Services with OSD (December 2024, SDVOSB set-aside, extends June 2030). The company delivered $3.796 million in academic support to OSD (December 2025) and provides allied training course instruction at multiple international locations including Chile, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Romania, Norway, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates.

Awards completing in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $12.2 million and face recompete: notably the Army SMART-T Help Desk contract (September 2026), Marine Corps DCI/C4 support and advanced network engineering contracts (July 2026 and September 2026), and several smaller OSD training delivery orders.

The vendor operates as a prime on 69 of 74 recent awards (93%) and as a named subcontractor on five awards under Booz Allen Hamilton (EMAPS 2 program, October and July 2022) and RSC2, Inc. (Global Agile Integrated Transport Network support, February 2025). Service Contract Inventory records show minimal federal service-contract activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold: one prime SCI record and four sub records across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 showing 4.1 FTEs (1 prime, 3 sub) and zero prime invoiced revenue in SCI — indicating that Linchpin's federal work is dominated by fixed-price delivery orders, definitive contracts with cost-plus-fixed-fee structures, and task order activity below or outside SCI thresholds, or classified work not captured in the inventory.

NAICS concentration runs toward engineering services (41 awards), computer systems design (9 awards), process and logistics consulting (4 awards), and physical-science R&D (4 awards). PSC codes emphasize professional engineering and technical support (50 awards) and warehouse operations (4 awards).
