Lion-Vallen LIMITED Partnership

Lion-Vallen LIMITED Partnership, doing business as L V I, operates as a for-profit partnership based in Lexington, Kentucky, providing third-party logistics, warehousing, and distribution services to the Department of Defense on a full-and-open competitive basis with no set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of Galls, LLC, which also owns Hagemeyer North America, Inc.

Lion-Vallen's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a single customer and vehicle structure. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles Directorate accounts for $292.8 million in combined potential value across 18 delivery orders under a $84.1 million indefinite delivery contract running through December 2027. The United States Marine Corps represents the second-largest customer by potential value at $246.2 million across 47 awards, while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment line carries 3,301 awards with $416 thousand in combined potential value — volume driven by small-dollar transactions rather than contract size. The vendor serves 11 distinct customer agencies across 3,740 recent prime awards, with the top five customers accounting for 99% of awards by the source's coverage metrics.

Work under the primary Clothing and Textiles IDC centers on receiving, warehousing, transportation, and distribution of military apparel and organizational clothing and individual equipment (OCIE) — uniforms, boots, coats, and related inventory — performed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Representative recent delivery orders include a $10.1 million storage services order awarded December 1, 2025 (completion December 1, 2026), a $9.3 million freight services order awarded March 13, 2025 (completion September 17, 2026), and a $9.7 million Army storage services order awarded November 29, 2024 (completion December 1, 2025). A secondary body of work subcontracts to Cherokee Nation Management & Consulting and Cherokee Nation Government Solutions, where Lion-Vallen delivers warehouse management information services and central issue facility support labor for Navy Expeditionary Combat Command operations.

The vendor's top five parent vehicles are the Indefinite Delivery Contract SP050004DBP21 (3,216 task orders, $416 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SP050099D0060 (261 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract M6700401D0003 (20 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C119D1146 (8 task orders, $44.5 million combined potential value), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE1C121D1417 (5 task orders, $57.4 million combined potential value). Lion-Vallen operates as a prime on 100% of recent awards (3,735 of 3,740 total), with five sub-awards to Cherokee Nation entities.

Activity has remained modest at two to four prime awards per year over the past five years (2021–2025). Two awards (combined potential value $19.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling a recompete window in the near term. SCI-reported invoiced revenue for service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $27 million across FY2023 and FY2024 ($12 million in FY2023 across 32.6 FTEs; $15 million in FY2024 across 46.5 FTEs), with government-paid hourly rates on those contracts running a median of $171.91/hr (10th percentile $139.25/hr; 90th percentile $207.67/hr). The vendor performed the full scope of its SCI-reportable prime contracts with in-house labor, with no subcontractor hours reported across those records. Lion-Vallen has held federal contractor status since at least 2001.
