Minelight Solutions LLC

Minelight Solutions LLC is a small-business management consulting firm based in Bradenton, Florida, that delivers organizational strategy, process improvement, and strategic planning services to the Department of Agriculture exclusively as a prime contractor, operating entirely under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule without set-aside designations or subcontractor engagement. The firm competes full-and-open against larger consulting firms on MAS delivery orders rather than pursuing set-aside vehicles; its only recurring set-aside appearance is in two FY2024 USDA orders designated Total Small Business, which apply to the delivery order itself rather than representing a firm-level procurement posture.

Minelight's customer concentration is stark and monolithic. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 96% of recent awards across six distinct agencies. Within USDA, the Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support office has issued 13 awards ($10.6 million combined potential value) spanning administrative process improvement, strategic infrastructure planning, and management consulting support. The firm has also delivered to USDA's Economic Research Service (4 awards, $315 thousand), National Institute of Food and Agriculture (2 awards, $1.4 million), and National Agricultural Statistics Service (2 awards, $526 thousand). The GSA Federal Acquisition Service appears as a customer on two awards totaling $21.7 million — both representing Minelight's own GSA MAS contract ceiling and initial ordering activity, not orders placed by GSA as an end-user customer. This structural dependency on USDA's ARS Central Program Planning office creates acute recompete risk; the firm has no diversified customer base or parallel revenue streams visible in the federal portfolio.

Minelight holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded October 12, 2023, ceiling $20.98 million, valid through October 11, 2028) with seven labor categories spanning junior business analyst through senior director, priced from $99.72/hr to $491.35/hr, all requiring bachelor's degree minimum and none requiring security clearance. The labor portfolio reflects pure management consulting and business advisory work — no engineering, IT development, or operational delivery roles are offered. Recent concrete work includes a $1.63 million delivery order from USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (awarded August 5, 2026) for executive-level support and restructuring assistance at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility through August 2029; a $878.36 thousand order from ARS (October 15, 2024) for DAAFM administrative process improvement, completing September 2026; and a $418 thousand order from ARS (October 15, 2024) for a five-year strategic plan for Scientific Computing Infrastructure, completing September 2025.

Activity has been episodic rather than sustained growth. The firm closed two awards in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026, with no activity recorded in 2025. Service Contract Inventory data confirms minimal scale: SCI-reportable invoicing reached $896 thousand in FY2024 (2.6 FTEs) and has appeared in only three fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024) within the coverage window. Median government-paid rates on SCI contracts run $179.85/hr. The firm operates as a pure prime with zero subcontractor engagement across all awards and SCI records — it builds no supply chain, brings no partner ecosystem, and functions as a direct-delivery advisory house entirely dependent on retaining its single dominant customer relationship. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $34.6 million, with $11.7 million obligated (34% of ceiling). Eleven awards (combined potential value $23.3 million) reach ultimate completion between now and August 2029, representing the full recompete cycle for the firm's federal footprint.
