As an 8(a) tribal entity, Lumbee is available for non-protested, direct awards without justification. Thus, we recommend BDS sole source the requirement using the tribal and 8(a) contracting authority. A direct award will produce a strong guarantee of solid performance. However, when selecting an 8(a) company for direct award, we recommend BDS only select an 8(a) company with the PMSS experience and proven expertise of a company like Lumbee. 

LFS’s primary NAICS code is 541330 – Engineering Services. This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design, development, and utilization of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes, and systems. The assignments undertaken by these establishments may involve any of the following activities: provision of advice, preparation of feasibility studies, preparation of preliminary and final plans and designs, provision of technical services during the construction or installation phase, inspection and evaluation of engineering projects, and related services.

As a start-up company our NAICS codes supported will evolve based on our understanding of the Tribal workforce and as contracting opportunities arise.
