Palmer Staffing Services Inc.

Palmer Staffing Services Inc., operating as Palmer Legal Staffing, is a Washington, D.C.-based staffing firm specializing in temporary administrative, legal, and professional personnel services to federal agencies. Registered in the System for Award Management since July 2002, the company is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and has established itself as a reliable provider of flexible staffing solutions across multiple civilian government departments. With over two decades of federal contracting experience, Palmer Legal Staffing delivers administrative assistants, paralegals, data analysts, executive administrative support, and other specialized professional staffing services to meet the operational needs of federal agencies.

Palmer Legal Staffing has demonstrated extensive experience providing staffing services across numerous federal agencies through both prime contract awards and subcontract arrangements. The company's prime federal contract portfolio includes multiple task orders and delivery orders with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission for temporary administrative services, mail support, and inventory support services totaling approximately $535,000 in ceiling values. The firm has provided significant support to the Smithsonian Institution through multiple contract vehicles, including administrative support services, temporary staffing for the Office of Safety, Health and Environmental Management, staffing for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, and paralegal and administrative assistant services, with cumulative values exceeding $900,000. Palmer Legal Staffing has also served the National Human Genome Research Institute, providing data analyst support, administrative support, and secretary-level services; the National Endowment for the Arts, delivering professional staffing support and paralegal services; the U.S. Agency for Global Media, providing paralegal services; the Department of Justice's Office of Information Policy, furnishing FOIA specialist paralegal services; and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, supplying temporary executive administrative assistance. Additionally, the company has held contracts with the Office of Inspector General for substantial FOIA and paralegal support services valued at over $1.4 million combined. Palmer Legal Staffing has participated as a subcontractor under PAE Labat-Anderson LLC on multiple labor-related subcontracts since 2021, providing paralegals and general labor support. Most of these prime contract awards were issued without set-aside designations, though several contracts, including those with the Smithsonian Institution and the National Endowment for the Arts, were specifically designated as total small business set-asides.

Palmer Legal Staffing currently holds three federal contract indefinite delivery vehicles that serve as the foundation for its federal government staffing operations. The company maintains two Federal Supply Schedule contracts awarded by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service on May 14, 2024, each with a $500,000 ceiling value and performance extending through May 13, 2029. One Federal Supply Schedule contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, while the other carries no set-aside designation; both contracts operate under the GSA's Multiple Award Schedule framework and establish pre-negotiated labor rates across multiple professional staffing categories. These Federal Supply Schedule vehicles have generated task orders from the National Endowment for the Arts for professional staffing support valued at $59,011.20, the National Human Genome Research Institute for data analyst services, and the Smithsonian Institution for temporary secretary-level III staffing services valued at $51,352.00. Palmer Legal Staffing also holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Multiple Award Schedule with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, awarded on February 12, 2021, with a performance period through February 1, 2022, for providing temporary executive administrative assistant services. Through these contract vehicles, Palmer Legal Staffing maintains the capacity to rapidly respond to federal agency staffing requirements for administrative, legal, clerical, and professional personnel throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
