Talon Expeditionary Services, LLC

Talon Expeditionary Services, LLC, doing business as B H Defense, is a veteran-owned small business that provides technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) services, facility security assessments, mechanical infrastructure maintenance and repairs, and physical security engineering to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Talon operates entirely on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and does not pursue or hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, agency IDIQs, or set-aside vehicles; all 29 awards in its recent portfolio are full-and-open competitive MAS task orders and delivery orders, with a single new multiple-award BPA to the Department of the Army for mechanical gates maintenance services.

Talon's customer base spans thirteen distinct federal agencies, but concentration is heavily skewed by dollar value rather than award volume. The top five agencies by award count—the Government Accountability Office Acquisition Management office (8 awards, $382 thousand), the Department of the Army Central Command (5 awards, $4.8 million), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (2 awards, $39 thousand), and two sub-entities of Army Materiel Command (2 awards each)—account for 66% of recent awards but only about 15% of combined potential value. In contrast, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command anchors 99% of potential value with just two awards ($85.1 million combined), alongside a single Department of the Air Force Central Command award valued at $9.8 million. This concentration reflects Talon's historical roles as a logistics and security services provider to expeditionary and overseas Army operations rather than a steady-state facility security contractor for civilian agencies.

Talon's capability portfolio is dominated by TSCM services and facility security assessments for civilian headquarters buildings. Representative recent work includes a $122.7 million delivery order with the GAO for a facility security assessment completed in September 2022, recurring $4.1 thousand to $4.7 thousand BPA calls for TSCM sweeps at GAO headquarters (seven separate awards between February 2023 and September 2025), a $12.1 thousand delivery order with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for barbed-wire fence installation in Fort Pierce, Florida in July 2023, and a $25.3 thousand delivery order with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for advanced-system supplies replenishment in September 2022. The new $975 thousand Army BPA for mechanical gates maintenance and repairs (awarded January 2026, running through January 2029) signals a recent pivot into infrastructure maintenance outside the traditional TSCM domain. GSA Schedule labor rates range from $60.45 per hour for electronic technicians to $171.91 per hour for program managers, with most operative roles (security technician, specialist, engineer) positioned between $80 and $110 per hour and all roles requiring security clearances and bachelor's or associate credentials for mid-level and senior positions.

Award activity has remained sporadic, with three awards in 2022 and 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026. The top vehicle is the Multiple Award Schedule, which hosts nineteen task orders valued at $1.4 million combined potential value. Only one award ($6 thousand) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months, signaling a mature, stable customer base on the civilian side but substantial recompete exposure on the Army's large-dollar expeditionary contracts, which carry multi-year ceilings but will require re-evaluation or re-award as requirements evolve. Talon does not subcontract and holds no sub-awards, operating entirely as a prime.
