Dickey-Tuba Group LLC

Dickey-Tuba Group LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified joint venture minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering financial management oversight, compliance review, and technical support services to the Federal Transit Administration, with a single engineering services contract to the Air Force. The company competes on non-set-aside vehicles despite its 8(a) certification; its original FTA IDIQ solicitation was posted as competitive 8(a), but the resulting single-award IDIQ and all downstream task orders carry no set-aside designation.

Dickey-Tuba Group's federal portfolio is concentrated almost entirely on FTA work. The Federal Transit Administration represents 27 of 28 awards (100% coverage across both award-count and potential-value rankings) with $15.7 million combined potential value, anchored by a single-award IDIQ contract valued at $9.8 million running through May 19, 2027. The company's concrete capability within the FTA's Financial Management Oversight program encompasses cost allocation plan assessments, indirect cost rate proposal reviews, full-scope and spot reviews of transit authority compliance, and regional technical support. Representative FTA delivery orders include a $541,440.30 non-review task order issued September 23, 2025, for FMO support across regional office locations; a $284,885.05 labor-hour order awarded May 21, 2026, for financial management training and oversight support through May 20, 2027; and a $220,350.40 full-scope review of the Memphis Area Transit Authority awarded June 26, 2024, with completion through January 25, 2026. Task order values historically span from $815 (FMO kick-off meeting attendance in June 2022) to $663,127.80 (FMO regional office support with completion extended through March 29, 2026). The single non-FTA award is a $6.3 million 8(a) sole-source firm fixed-price engineering services contract from Air Force Materiel Command at Tinker AFB, dated February 1, 2023, supporting E-3A AWACS program sustainment and modernization through January 31, 2027.

Dickey-Tuba Group operates 26 task orders under the FTA IDIQ vehicle 69319522D000007, with combined potential value of $5.9 million. Place of performance spans Washington, DC (primary FTA office location) and Upper Marlboro, Maryland (contractor headquarters). Activity has remained relatively stable, with three awards in 2022, seven in 2023, eight in 2024, six in 2025, and four in 2026. Eight awards with combined potential value of $7.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure on the FTA platform.

SCI reporting captures 12 prime records across fiscal years 2022 through 2024, with total invoiced revenue of $908 thousand—a small slice of the company's broader FTA IDIQ activity and not representative of full enterprise revenue. FY2024 invoiced $891 thousand across 2.3 FTEs at the contract level; FY2022 invoiced $16 thousand. Government-paid hourly rates on FTA service contracts run with a median of $189.47 per hour, ranging from $127.58 at the 10th percentile to $274.07 at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 42% of total hours, with nine named subcontractors engaged, though the company reports zero FTE positions directly on most FTA task orders—indicating labor-hour delivery models where subcontractor engagement is material to performance.
