Mcbride, Lock & Associates, LLC

Mcbride, Lock & Associates, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Kansas City, Missouri, provides federal auditing, accounting, and financial compliance services as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across 22 civilian agencies on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related vehicles. The firm operates exclusively under NAICS 541211 (Offices of Certified Public Accountants) and PSC Support-Management: Auditing, competing predominantly in Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open deliveries on GSA Schedule work.

Customer concentration is diffuse across the portfolio but anchored by four agencies. The top five funding customers by award count and potential value account for 64% to 94% of recent awards: the National Science Foundation (26 awards by count; $23.8 million combined potential value across NSF's Office of Budget, Finance and Award Management and Division of Institution and Award Support), the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees under the Department of Justice (16 awards, $14 million combined potential value), the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (16 awards, $12.4 million combined potential value), and the Environmental Protection Agency (41 awards by count, but not separately broken out in the potential-value ranking). GSA Federal Acquisition Service carries $20.2 million in combined potential value across two awards, creating an outlier in the rankings — these are likely the large IDV ceilings themselves rather than individual task orders.

Mcbride places work through three primary GSA vehicles: the Federal Supply Schedule GS23F8188H (75 task orders, $27.8 million combined potential value), the Multiple Award Schedule (34 task orders, $26.7 million combined potential value), and two single-award and multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements — a $4 million single-award NSF BPA (December 14, 2021, through December 13, 2026, with four task orders issued ranging from approximately $399,900 to $544,058) and a $2.72 million multiple-award EAC BPA (August 14, 2026, through September 29, 2029, with recent calls in the $33,000 to $35,000 range). Representative recent work includes a $4.6 million firm fixed-price delivery order (June 15, 2026, completion June 14, 2031) from the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees for debtor audit services under Bid Groups 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8; a $655,260 Total Small Business NSF BPA call (April 20, 2026) for pre-award administrative and financial reviews of Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II proposals; and recurring $33,000 to $35,000 EAC Help America Vote Act compliance audits (most recent September 11, 2026).

Activity has remained modest but steady — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and five through mid-2026 (the first award in the source data dates to February 1991). Combined potential value across all 185 prime awards stands at $75.2 million, with $20.5 million obligated (27% of potential value), reflecting the long-tail nature of GSA Schedule work where orders trickle across years. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $724 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term and substantial runway on the NSF and EAC BPA vehicles extending through 2026 and 2029 respectively. The firm operates no subcontract footprint and carries no security-cleared labor; GSA Schedule labor categories span Junior Auditor at $71.76 per hour through Partner at $170.29 per hour, all requiring bachelor's degrees and no classified work. Mcbride's portfolio is concentrated in specialized pre-award financial and administrative review services for research programs (NSF SBIR/STTR) and Help America Vote Act auditing, with secondary exposure to general accounting and audit support across civilian agencies.
