History

2001 — Founded in July

Trevor L. Newman, LLC is established in July 2001. The company begins its history operating as a sole proprietorship: from 2001 through 2004 the owner works as the sole employee, supporting subcontract opportunities under other federal contractors.

2004 — 8(a) certification and first DHS contracts

The firm obtains its 8(a) certification as a Small Disadvantaged Business and approaches the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide support. Within three months of obtaining its 8(a) status, it acquires two five-year federal contracts from DHS for acquisition and human resource support — enabling the company to immediately hire eight employees.

2006 — A third DHS contract

The firm provides outstanding support to DHS and, within two and a half years, acquires its third government contract under DHS, providing warehouse and mail room support.

2007 — DHS Small Business Achievement Award

Nominated by DHS management, Trevor L. Newman, LLC wins the 2007 Department of Homeland Security “Small Business Achievement Award.”

2009 — First Department of Defense award

The company is awarded its first one-year contract with the Department of Defense, Navy, providing procurement analyst support.

2010 — Navy, DLA, and GSA growth

The one-year Navy contract is renewed and expanded to a total of 23 new personnel, and L-N recognition expands with an additional Naval contract. During the same time the company is approached by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for acquisition and logistics support, and by the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide acquisition and furniture design for GSA clients. L-N is awarded a one-year DLA contract for acquisition and logistics support — exceptional performance extends these services to a period of three years — and in November 2010 a contract to provide acquisition and technical support services to the GSA.

2010 — Doing business as Leonard-Newman Unlimited

Trevor L. Newman, LLC starts doing business as Leonard-Newman Unlimited. The same year the firm is verified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, is nominated as a finalist for Black Enterprise magazine’s “Small Business of the Year” award, expands its services to include architect and design, and increases to 54 employees.

2011 — Continued DLA support

DLA logistics support continues under a follow-on contract, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) establishes a blanket purchase agreement with the firm.

2012–2013 — Federal Aviation Administration

Contracts are awarded with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for acquisition, contract, and financial management support. Expanded services include technical guidance for architect & design and furniture layout, and financial management and analysis.

2013 — 8(a) certification concludes

The firm’s 8(a) certification as a Small Disadvantaged Business, held since 2004, runs through June 2013.

2017–2021 — Expanding FAA support

New FAA work adds acquisition and contract management support (2017), help desk support (2018), financial analyst support (2020), and acquisition and contract management support in Fort Worth, Texas (2021).

2022–2023 — Current FAA contracts

The FAA awards L-N business financial management analyst support and support for processing simplified acquisitions, agreements, and contract closeouts (2022), and acquisition and contracting support for the Regional Acquisition Division at the FAA Southwest Regional Office in Fort Worth, Texas (2023) — each running into 2027.
