Dickey-Tuba Group LLC

Dickey-Tuba Group LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified joint venture minority-owned small disadvantaged business, delivers financial management oversight and compliance review services to the Federal Transit Administration as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), with ancillary engineering support work under the Department of the Air Force. Headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Dickey-Tuba Group operates entirely on a prime basis with no subcontract revenue in the source data; across SCI-reportable service contracts, the vendor engages subcontractors for approximately 44% of total labor hours, with 15 named subcontractors documented across its prime portfolio.

FTA dominates Dickey-Tuba Group's customer base. The Federal Transit Administration accounts for 31 of 32 prime awards (97% of volume) with $16.1 million combined potential value; the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command at Tinker Air Force Base holds one contract worth $6.3 million for E-3A AWACS engineering support services, awarded as an 8(a) sole source on February 1, 2023, through January 31, 2027. The FTA relationship is substantially concentrated: Dickey-Tuba Group holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract (69319522D000007) valued at $9.8 million running through May 19, 2027, from which it operates 30 task orders with combined potential value of $6.3 million. Recent FTA task orders span financial management oversight workshops ($50,766.40, awarded September 25, 2026), FY26 oversight reviews ($184,053.00, awarded June 29, 2026), full-scope reviews of regional transit authorities including Montachusett ($207,835.00, awarded April 24, 2026) and Chatham Area Transit ($145,415.40, awarded April 20, 2026), cost allocation plan assessments, indirect cost rate proposal reviews, and compliance oversight across multiple transit systems from the East Coast to the West Coast. All FTA task orders carry no set-aside designation on the delivery order level, despite the parent IDIQ's competitive 8(a) origin.

Activity has remained relatively stable at 6–8 awards per year from 2023 through 2026, following initial ramp-up in 2022–2023 with the FTA IDIQ award and the Air Force definitive contract. Ten awards (combined potential value $8.4 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete in that window. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across prime service contracts totaled $1.2 million over fiscal years 2022 through 2025, with peak invoicing of $891 thousand in FY2024. The vendor's SCI-reported federal workforce delivery ranged from negligible in FY2022–FY2023 to 2.3 FTEs in FY2024 and 1.1 FTEs in FY2025, reflecting the seasonal and task-order-driven nature of FTA financial oversight work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts median around $170.62 per hour, with rates ranging from $104.65 at the 10th percentile through $241.86 at the 90th percentile, consistent with senior financial compliance and technical support labor. Dickey-Tuba Group's capability footprint remains narrow: financial management oversight, cost allocation assessments, indirect cost rate reviews, transit authority compliance examination, and engineering support services for airborne defense platforms, with no visible expansion into adjacent federal markets or customer agencies beyond FTA and Air Force Materiel Command.
