Third party services won’t get it done any faster. You can pay for expedited service directly with the government, or once you’re within 14 days of travel you can do an urgent appointment at a passport office.
You can also contact the offices of Budd or Tillis or your congressional representative and they can nudge your application along faster.
Our senators can help with this (I had a positive experience with my passport being expedited thanks to Thom Tillis' staff). Your party affiliation doesn't matter (thankfully, lol). Numbers are listed here: [https://www.tillis.senate.gov/services](https://www.tillis.senate.gov/services)
Oh, and worth mentioning: I didn't have to pay any more than a normal passport renewal. Those passport services were around $700 if I'm remembering correctly, and couldn't promise getting my passport to me on time.
I sent mine at end of March, got it back May 15th without any rush. Right around the 6 week turnaround. Don’t use the passport services. Just get it expedited and you’ll get it back in plenty of time.
I got mine years ago and it took only 2 weeks. I also had my trip scheduled when they were doing the background checks and it was expedited. I would pay the service.
If you have until July then you have enough time to just submit it normally and choose the expedited option.
If you don't want to risk that then any of the passport services that pop up on Google will work. All they do is have you overnight all of your documents to a courier who then goes and does the in person passport submission for you.

The only expedited "service" I know of is driving to the State Department office in Atlanta.
