Leed Corporate Services

What Leed Corporate Services does

LEED Corporate Services is a privately held, SBA-certified small business headquartered in Brookfield, Connecticut, founded in 1967 by Ed Leili and still operating under family ownership. The company provides technical, professional, and military support staffing services to U.S. Department of Defense customers and to commercial aerospace and manufacturing clients. Its core offerings include contract placement and permanent placement of aviation maintenance personnel (A&P mechanics, avionics technicians, sheetmetal mechanics, aircraft painters), program and project management professionals, manufacturing production workers, and quality/QC specialists. LEED operates globally, deploying full-time and part-time personnel on programs across all 50 U.S. states and more than 18 OCONUS locations including Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Kuwait, Colombia, Kosovo, Japan, and Germany.

LEED accesses the federal market through two principal contract vehicles: the U.S. Navy Seaport-e Prime Contract (N00178-12-D-6939, awarded 2012), covering engineering, technical, and programmatic support across NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVSUP, and SPAWAR; and the AMCOM EXPRESS blanket purchase agreement on GSA PES and MOBIS Schedules, covering advisory and assistance services to U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, AMRDEC, and related PEOs. In parallel, the company supplies tailored personnel teams to divisions of major primes including Sikorsky, BAE, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, PAE, and Cherokee Nation Business LLC. A distinct federal line of business delivers Helicopter Support Services (Part 133, 135, and 137) to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center for wildland firefighting and emergency response rotorcraft operations.

The business model is a labor-staffing and labor-brokerage model: revenue is generated through hourly bill rates ($35-$50/hour on advertised positions) plus quote-based permanent placement fees, with LEED absorbing employment contracts, payroll, benefits, expense reimbursements, immigration, and work permit administration on behalf of clients. The company employs 101-250 staff, maintains no proprietary software platform, and has not disclosed revenue or outside funding. Differentiation rests on a 50-year database of transitioning and retired military personnel, multi-decade prime-contractor relationships, and pre-qualified federal contract vehicle access rather than on technology or scale.
