Lr-Associates, LLC

Lr-Associates, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified firm headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, delivers comprehensive janitorial, custodial, and facility management services to federal agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor operates 100% prime (106 awards), with no subcontract volume, positioning it as a direct service provider rather than a teaming partner or feeder to larger primes. Lr-Associates is minority-owned, holds Black American ownership designation, and maintains concurrent VOSB and 8(a) certifications, though recent award activity shows a shift toward full-and-open and no-set-aside delivery orders after its 8(a) program participation expires August 28, 2022.

The vendor's capability portfolio is operationally deep but narrow in scope: janitorial services (64 awards, dominant NAICS 561210), facilities support operations (28 awards, NAICS 561230), and episodic building and grounds maintenance. Concrete recent examples include a $6.99 million purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (August 2026) for janitorial services across three Rocky Mountain VA facilities—627,000 cleanable square feet, seven days per week, five-year base plus four one-year options, 95% compliance requirement on cleanliness and restroom maintenance—and a $40 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Academy (October 2024, ultimate completion November 2029) covering 27.5 million square feet of academic and athletic space. The Air Force Academy IDC alone has driven 18 delivery orders valued at $8.4 million cumulatively, including a $1.75 million order (March 2026) for general academic and athletic custodial services through June 2026 and a $2.22 million order (July 2025) for Mitchell Hall restroom sanitation, stadium locker room cleaning, sports camp support, and graduation event services.

Customer concentration is high and weighted toward a single anchor customer. The top five funding agencies account for 65% of awards by count and 71% by potential value. The Air Force Academy dominates: 19 awards and $48.4 million combined potential value, representing 34% of total portfolio dollars. Behind it, concentration drops sharply to the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Teleservices (2 awards, $22.1 million for a $2.03 million definitive janitorial contract through August 2027), the Army Intelligence and Security Command (6 awards, $18.2 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (1 award, $7 million), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (3 awards, $6.3 million). The remainder spreads across 24 additional agencies with small, scattered awards—primarily Veterans Affairs VISNs and Army Corps of Engineers field offices. This concentration exposes the vendor to significant recompete cliff risk: five awards worth $6.3 million combined reach completion within the next twenty-four months.

Lr-Associates places task orders under a $40 million Air Force Academy IDC (18 task orders, $8.4 million combined value), an Army Corps of Engineers IDC labeled W911WN18D3001 (22 task orders, $508 thousand), a Veterans Affairs Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C24519A0042 (16 task orders, $2.8 million), a Naval Facilities Engineering Command IDC N4008022D0007 (4 task orders, $4.4 million), and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (1 task order, $1.2 million). The GSA MAS contract, awarded February 17, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling and offers 115 active labor categories spanning facility management, custodial, administrative, and technical support roles at rates from $29.52/hour (Furniture Handler, high school) to $144.94/hour (Senior Project Manager, bachelor's degree, five years experience). No security-cleared positions are offered.

Activity trajectory shows volatile volume with two peaks: 12 awards in 2022 and 12 awards in 2025, flanking a quiet period of 6 awards each in 2023 and 2024. The most recent award (August 2026, two weeks old) is the $6.99 million VA ECHCS contract. Combined potential value stands at $142.6 million with $65.5 million (46%) obligated.

On the Service Contract Inventory, Lr-Associates reported $1.6 million in invoiced federal services revenue across ten prime contracts spanning FY2022 through FY2024. SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 threshold; this figure excludes goods, products, and any non-federal revenue and represents a strict subset of the vendor's total federal footprint. FY2024 invoicing reached $643 thousand across 6.9 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $29.72/hour (10th percentile $18.08/hr, 90th percentile $83.72/hr). The vendor performed zero subcontracted hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts, consistent with the 100% prime footprint across all awards. FY2023 showed higher staffing (13.7 FTEs) and intermediate invoicing ($529 thousand), while FY2022 invoiced $434 thousand across 7.3 FTEs—a trajectory reflecting task-order volatility and turnover rather than sustained growth.

The vendor operates as an operational prime across a DOD and civilian agency customer base, building its own delivery teams on-site for janitorial and facilities work rather than subcontracting or teaming. Recompete cliff exposure in the next twenty-four months centers on $6.3 million in awards reaching completion, with the Air Force Academy IDC and its serial delivery orders representing the largest near-term risk. The narrow NAICS footprint (janitorial and facilities operations) and heavy reliance on the Air Force Academy ($48.4 million, 34% of portfolio) create both predictability and vulnerability: predictable recurring revenue on a long-term single-award contract, but significant customer concentration risk in a market segment with substantial competition from other SDVOSBs and larger facilities-management primes.
