LIGHTCAST, LLC

Economic Modeling, LLC specializes in delivering advanced labor market analytics and data-driven consulting services to federal agencies, with a strong focus on software-enabled economic research and workforce intelligence. The firm provides access to and integration of proprietary labor data platforms—most notably Lightcast—enabling clients to conduct granular workforce analysis, skills mapping, and economic trend forecasting. Their technical expertise spans data licensing, API-driven data delivery, benchmarking infrastructure, and the deployment of specialized software tools for labor market research, particularly in support of innovation, workforce development, and regional economic planning. A key differentiator is their ability to bridge complex labor data systems with operational decision-making frameworks, serving as a technical liaison between data vendors and federal program offices. The contractor maintains consistent engagement with the Department of Commerce, where they support technology and innovation initiatives through labor data licensing and economic modeling. Additional clients include the National Science Foundation, Department of Labor, and International Trade Commission, all of which rely on their services for workforce analytics tied to STEM talent pipelines, regional economic competitiveness, and trade policy development. Their work with the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs further demonstrates capacity in social science research and labor market benchmarking for veteran reintegration and skills transition programs. Economic Modeling, LLC’s primary focus lies in scientific and technical consulting (NAICS 541690), administrative management consulting (541611), and software data distribution (423430), positioning them as a niche provider of labor intelligence infrastructure. They serve verticals centered on workforce development, innovation policy, and economic research, acting as a conduit between commercial data platforms and public-sector analytical needs. As a small business structured as a 2K entity based in Moscow, Idaho, the firm operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused presence in the federal economic and workforce analytics market. Their geographic location does not limit their reach, as all services are delivered remotely through secure digital platforms and licensed software systems.
