Rev Edward Lofton

Rev Edward Lofton, operating as the Rev Edward D Lofton Division, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and service-disabled veteran-owned sole proprietorship based in Summerville, South Carolina, that provides auxiliary Catholic priest chaplaincy services to the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively in a specialized niche — religious and spiritual support services — rather than across a broad capability portfolio.

The vendor's federal footprint is minimal and singular in customer concentration. All three prime awards to date have come from Air Mobility Command at Joint Base Charleston in North Charleston, South Carolina, totaling $61 thousand in combined potential value with 100% obligated. The three awards span May 2024 through December 2025: a $8,500 purchase order for Catholic Priest Auxiliary Services (May 30, 2024, no set-aside), a $37,651 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order (December 15, 2024, completion by June 30, 2026), and a $14,975 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order (December 22, 2025, completion by February 28, 2026). All work is categorized under temporary help services (NAICS) and support-administrative services (PSC), reflecting the transactional nature of chaplaincy staffing. The vendor has not held an IDV, GWAC, BPA, or other parent vehicle seat, and carries no subcontract portfolio. Activity has been sporadic — two awards in 2024, one in 2025 — with no trajectory signal at this scale. Two active awards carry completion dates in the next twenty-four months (June 30, 2026 and February 28, 2026), representing the full recompete exposure for this vendor.
