TLN Worldwide Enterprises, Inc.

TLN Worldwide Enterprises, Inc., doing business as The Leading Niche, is a women-owned small business headquartered in Stonecrest, Georgia that delivers professional and technical services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing predominantly under set-aside vehicles. The company holds SBA certifications as an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and HUBZone firm, and operates as a Subchapter S corporation classified as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and minority-owned (Black American-owned) enterprise.

TLN Worldwide's capability portfolio centers on management consulting, regulatory support, training development, workforce analysis, data analytics, and technical personnel placement across civilian federal agencies. Recent prime work includes a $1.1 million firm fixed-price delivery order awarded by the Coast Guard on July 1, 2026, under the OASIS+ WOSB IDIQ for technical writing, editing, meeting support, and project lifecycle support for the Coast Guard Safety Service Center's safety publications through June 30, 2031 (place of performance Norfolk, Virginia); a $699,000 HUBZone delivery order from the Drug Enforcement Administration issued February 23, 2026, for professional and technical services at Lithonia, Georgia, running through February 22, 2027; a $2.3 million firm fixed-price task order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (awarded September 30, 2024, ultimate completion September 29, 2025) to provide reasonable accommodation request support and investigative services to FEMA's Office of Civil Rights under the OASIS SB vehicle; and multiple delivery orders from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for regulatory document updates, training material streamlining, and diversity and equity gap analysis between July 2023 and August 2023, ranging from $344,000 to $862,000.

TLN Worldwide holds positions on five parent contract vehicles: two GSA POLARIS GWACs awarded February 23, 2026 (Women-Owned Small Business set-aside) and November 20, 2025 (HUBZone set-aside), the OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029), the OASIS+ HUBZone Small Business IDIQ (awarded September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029), and the OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business IDIQ (awarded September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029). TLN Worldwide was also selected as one of multiple awardees on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025 (full and open competition, no set-aside), with an initial $500 delivery order issued the same date; this contract carries a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and runs through December 28, 2035. A single-award DEA HUBZone Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $3.6 million (awarded February 23, 2024, ultimate completion February 22, 2029) supports tactical operations personnel placement at Lithonia, Georgia, with three delivery orders issued to date totaling approximately $2.0 million.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Securities and Exchange Commission accounts for 45 awards worth $44.6 million combined potential value, though many are historical and complete; the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh anchors 9 awards worth $56.2 million combined potential value (the largest single customer by dollars); GSA Federal Acquisition Service places 13 awards worth $9 million; and the Drug Enforcement Administration holds 4 awards worth $5.5 million. These five customers represent 93% of combined potential value across all awards. TLN Worldwide has served 18 distinct federal agencies over the award portfolio, with recent activity concentrated at CDC Pittsburgh, DEA, NHTSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and GSA. Activity has grown modestly — two awards in 2022 to seven in 2024, six in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only $2.8 million in combined potential value facing recompete within the next twenty-four months.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue (federal service contracts above $150,000 threshold) totaled $6.2 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $1.8 million, FY2023: $1.8 million, FY2024: $2.6 million), representing a portion of TLN Worldwide's federal services activity and a smaller subset of total enterprise revenue. On SCI-captured prime contracts, the company delivered a median of approximately 10 FTEs per fiscal year; FY2024 SCI records show a sharp spike to 468 FTEs driven by large subcontractor deployment across 16 sub records, though the vendor's own prime-contract workforce remained stable at roughly 10 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from $67.50/hr at the 10th percentile to $341.67/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $105.42/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 2% of total contractor hours; TLN Worldwide reported one named subcontractor in the SCI dataset. The vendor maintains an active GSA Schedule with 68 unique labor categories spanning $53.70/hr (Health System Administrator, bachelor's degree, 3 years experience) to $364.48/hr (Health Program Manager, master's degree, 15 years experience), with no security-cleared labor categories offered. TLN Worldwide subcontracts minimally as a sub to other primes; one recent sub award under Booz Allen Hamilton for labor consulting was recorded in September 2024.
