Lindahl Reed

What Lindahl Reed does

Lindahl Reed, Inc. is a privately held, SBA-certified 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business federal contractor headquartered in Bend, Oregon, with additional offices in Washington DC, Golden (Colorado), and San Diego. Founded by Nicole Hough, the firm delivers professional and technical services across five core solutions: Energy Innovation, National Security, Environmental Stewardship, Infrastructure Modernization, and Mission Operations and Assurance. Its primary customers are U.S. federal agencies — principally the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DoD) across multiple service branches, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the General Services Administration (GSA), and NOAA — with reported support across more than 100 military installations and over $1 billion in delivered energy projects.

The company executes through a portfolio of government contract vehicles, including a 20-year GSA Multiple Award Schedule covering 41 Special Item Numbers (Contract No. 47QRAA25D00C8), OASIS+ awards in Management/Advisory, Technical/Engineering, and Environmental domains, SBA 8(a) sole-source awards, the WOSB/EDWOSB program, and agency-specific BPAs and IDIQs such as DOE EERE SETS ($300M), NNSA TEPS III ($400M), MDA SHIELD ($151B ceiling), and FAA eFAST ($7.4B). It augments direct contracts through three joint ventures — LRTS Solutions (Mentor-Protégé with TechSource), POWTEC-Lindahl Reed (tribal 8(a)), and Energy Technology Alliance — that raise sole-source award thresholds and broaden access. Differentiated technology enablers include Power BI dashboards, digital twin modeling, cloud-based QA/QC platforms, low-code/no-code workflow automation, predictive analytics, and digital project execution tools for constructability reviews and lifecycle management.

Lindahl Reed's revenue mechanics are anchored in federal time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price professional services contracts, supplemented by performance-based contracting mechanisms such as Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC). Certifications including CMMC Level 2, ISO 9001:2015, and a DCAA-approved accounting system position the firm for security-sensitive and audited federal work. Leadership combines federal insiders (former Air Force Civil Engineer Tim Byers, former DOE lab director Jeff Baker) with operators from SAIC, CSRA, AECOM, Jacobs, and Redhorse, supporting a growth posture that targets expansion across defense energy, infrastructure modernization, and adjacent federal verticals such as healthcare.
