About the company
Tier 1 Performance Solutions LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, provides human performance optimization, competency-based training systems, and research and development services to federal defense and civilian agencies primarily as a prime contractor (82% of recent awards) without SBA set-aside designations. The company competes full-and-open on both definitive contracts and delivery orders, with work concentrated in applied research, adaptive learning systems, and organizational effectiveness consulting.
Tier 1's customer base is heavily defense-weighted. The top five customer organizations by award count and potential value account for 68% and 74% of recent activity respectively, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (16 awards, $29.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (9 awards, $8.2 million), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (31 awards, $7.8 million). The Defense Security Cooperation Agency and DOD Missile Defense Agency round out the top five by dollars. HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Federal Railroad Administration represent the only material civilian agency exposure. Representative recent work includes a $1.6 million Small Business set-aside SBIR Phase III delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center for a Competency-Based Adaptive Training System for naval aviation, a $798 thousand firm fixed-price contract with Army DEVCOM for overcoming vision-limiting bias in Army commanders, a $1.2 million Army delivery order for research and development services supporting leader competency assessment and Army Warrant Officer training, and a $585.7 thousand Federal Railroad Administration contract for crew resource management training research.
Tier 1 holds a $19 million indefinite delivery contract with Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (9 task orders, $7.7 million combined potential value across all awards under the IDC) and a $500 thousand GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. The company's award footprint shows modest recent activity — one award in 2025, one in 2026 — following higher volume in 2024 (seven awards). Within the next twenty-four months, three awards carrying combined potential value of $1.6 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete. SCI-reported invoicing of $352 thousand in FY2023 reflects minimal federal service-contract capture above the $150,000 reporting threshold; the dataset shows 0.4 FTEs that fiscal year and no SCI records in FY2024, indicating that most Tier 1 work is delivered via research and development contracts, definitive contracts, and delivery orders that fall outside typical SCI reporting. Tier 1 self-performs work without material subcontractor engagement on its prime contracts; the vendor operates as a subcontractor to Shoulder 2 Shoulder Inc. (Department of Defense Humanitarian Demining Training Center support) and CAE USA Inc. (multiscale models for cognitive performance) on defense programs.
