KippsDeSanto & Co. advises Logistics Management Institute on its sale of for-profit subsidiary, LMI Consulting, to a consortium of investors formed by Declaration Partners, Capitol Meridian Partners, and 22C Capital
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of LMI Consulting (“LMI” or the “Company”) by its client, Logistics Management Institute (“the Nonprofit”), to Declaration Capital Partners, Capitol Meridian Partners, and 22C Capital. The remaining Nonprofit will be re-branded as NobleReach Foundation™.
Headquartered in Tysons, VA, LMI is a leading provider of technology-enabled management advisory, logistics, and digital & analytics solutions to the U.S. government.
The Company specializes in delivering modern, repeatable solutions to help federal and Intelligence Community (“IC”) customers align their resources with changing and competing priorities, arming them with practical tools to prepare for future challenges. Specific core offerings include advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, business transformation, human capital solutions, supply chain management, and logistics transformation. Additionally, the Company has a rich portfolio of proprietary modeling and simulation tools to help solve complex supply chain and inventory management problems and automate complex processes.
Founded in 1961 to help the Department of Defense (“DoD”) solve complex challenges, LMI has leveraged decades of experience and prior performance to establish a franchise position across nearly all federal markets. LMI is focused on bringing future-focused thought leadership and technology to customers within the Defense & Space, Health & Civilian, Homeland Security, and Intelligence markets.
The partnership with Declaration Partners, Capitol Meridian Partners, and 22C Capital will help expand LMI’s growth further as the Company continues to deliver in-demand capabilities and proprietary solutions across its core markets.
We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the government technology solutions M&A market:
• High-end, next-generation technologies continue to be highly coveted growth areas given their importance to National Security and increasing budgetary trends
• Significant demand for diversified capabilities, market expertise, and intellectual property reinforced by highly skilled, experienced, and cleared employees
• Financial sponsors with explicit growth strategies and industry knowledge continue to deploy capital through new platform investments, particularly for companies with strong management teams, established customer relationships, and differentiated proprietary technologies
