Lion National

What Lion National does

Lion National Corp (LNC) is a privately held government contracting consulting firm founded in 2015 by April Gaeta and Scott Gaeta, headquartered at P.O. Box 25534 in Greenville, South Carolina. The company assists businesses with the procurement and management of Federal, State, and Local Government contracts, delivering tailored professional services across the full contract lifecycle: market intelligence, corporate registrations and compliance, opportunity identification, technical proposal writing, project management, cooperative purchasing contract management, and establishment of partnership opportunities.

LNC's service portfolio is organized into nine core consulting offerings — including new business setup, small business assistance, market intelligence, contract vehicle support, regulatory compliance, cooperative purchasing, and project management — delivered through direct client engagement. The firm maintains an affiliated network of licensed contractors across multiple states (covering construction, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, lighting, and facility services disciplines) that channels work into government procurement vehicles.

The business model is professional services fee-based with no publicly disclosed pricing; engagements appear to be quote-based and tailored to client scope. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales targeting SMBs seeking market entry into government contracting and larger entities seeking expansion. No technology product, API, software platform, or app exists — LNC is purely a human-delivered advisory and intermediary services firm with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding.

Broad incumbents

• Deltek (GovWin): Deltek is a large, established provider of software, information systems, and GovWin market intelligence for the government contracting industry. It overlaps with LNC's market intelligence and opportunity identification services but at a vastly broader scale with proprietary technology.
• CGI Federal: CGI Federal is the U.S. government division of CGI Inc., providing IT, consulting, and program management services to federal agencies. Comparable to LNC where it competes for program management and federal procurement support contracts.
• ICF International: ICF is a major advisory and digital services firm with significant federal civilian, defense, and health practice areas offering consulting, program management, and technical assistance. LNC competes for federal procurement-related advisory work against ICF's larger, full-service engagements.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton is a top-tier federal consulting firm with deep expertise in defense, civil, and intelligence programs. It overlaps with LNC's federal procurement strategy and program/project management offerings as part of a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Winvale Group: Winvale is a government contracting consulting firm that helps businesses win and manage federal contracts, including GSA Schedules and proposal support. Directly comparable to LNC in offering, target customer (businesses entering or expanding in the gov-con market), and consulting-led delivery model.
• Federal Sources Inc. Federal Sources is a small-business government contracting consultancy providing proposal, capture, and contract management services to commercial clients pursuing federal work. Highly comparable to LNC's end-to-end service model and SMB-focused customer base.
• GSA Partners (e.g., GSA Schedule consultants): Specialized consultancies (e.g., GSA Focus, Contract Services Associates) help businesses obtain GSA Schedule contracts and similar vehicles. LNC's contract vehicle support and compliance offerings are directly competitive with these niche gov-con advisory firms.
• Centurion Consulting Group: Centurion is a small-business government contracting consultancy providing proposal management, capture, and contract support services. Comparable to LNC in customer profile (commercial businesses pursuing federal contracts) and service scope (proposal and program management).

Emerging players

• Capture2Proposal: Capture2Proposal is a niche consultancy offering capture management and proposal writing services to federal contractors. Directly comparable to LNC's proposal writing and opportunity identification offerings but typically focused on capture rather than full lifecycle support.

Others

• Sourcewell (cooperative purchasing): Sourcewell operates cooperative purchasing contracts on behalf of government, education, and nonprofit entities. LNC's cooperative purchasing services target exactly this kind of contract vehicle, making Sourcewell an adjacent/ecosystem participant in LNC's service domain.
