MCS Of Tampa, Inc.

MCS Of Tampa, Inc. (doing business as MCS Of Tampa) is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business headquartered in Tampa, Florida, that delivers unified communications systems, command post modernization, and mission-critical infrastructure solutions to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across a broad federal footprint. The company, which registered as a federal contractor in 2001, competes predominantly full-and-open without set-aside protection on the majority of recent awards, though approximately half of its delivery orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule carry total small business set-asides; no set-aside designation characterizes the company's prime contract posture.

The Air Force dominates MCS Of Tampa's customer base. The Department of the Air Force accounts for 106 awards worth $46 million in combined potential value, with Air Education and Training Command ($28.4 million across 23 awards), Air Mobility Command ($16.2 million across 59 awards), and Air Combat Command ($5.5 million across 29 awards) representing the highest-value sub-customers. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (20 awards, $11.1 million), the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Assistance (27 awards, $20.8 million), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (33 awards, $4.9 million) round out the top five by potential value. Together, the top five funding agencies account for 46% of combined potential value. Activity has been uneven — 26 awards in 2022, 34 in 2023, declining to 18 in 2024, then rising to 29 in 2025 — with 15 awards (combined potential value $4.9 million) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete risk.

MCS Of Tampa's core capability focuses on Unify OpenScape and Siemens HiPath voice and dispatch systems, command post console installations, and unified communications maintenance across military installations. Representative recent prime work includes a $542,447 purchase order from Air Forces Europe and Africa (September 2026, through September 2030) for OpenScape command and control dispatch system unification and implementation in Germany; a $675,849 total small business set-aside purchase order from Pacific Air Forces (September 2025, through September 2030) for installation and maintenance of an OpenScape Voice VoIP Advanced Console Solution at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, serving nine controller positions; a $508,757 definitive contract from the Air Force (April 2026, through April 2029) for unified communications system design, installation, testing, and training at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina; a $2.28 million delivery order from Army Reserve Command (March 2026, through February 2029) for command and control system sustainment and maintenance at Warner Robins, Georgia; and a $1.83 million purchase order from the Marine Corps (September 2023, through August 2027) for maintenance and technical assistance for unified communications and telephony systems at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina and Townsend Bombing Range, Georgia.

The vendor holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract valued at $125,000 and effective through June 2027, which has generated approximately $29.6 million across 177 task orders since inception. The 12 active labor categories on the schedule span administrative, field technician, system engineer, and senior consulting roles, with hourly rates ranging from $32.48 (Administrative Assistant, High School Equivalent) to $196.24 (OpenScape Voice Designer, Bachelor's degree, five years' experience). No security-cleared positions are offered. MCS Of Tampa also sits on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (69 task orders, $42.3 million combined potential value) and holds an indefinite-delivery contract from the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Assistance (25 task orders, $9.8 million combined potential value) for nationwide telephone system maintenance and related services. On December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded MCS Of Tampa a multiple-award IDIQ contract valued at a multi-billion-dollar ceiling under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, with an initial delivery order of five hundred dollars issued the same day for work in Huntsville, Alabama.

MCS Of Tampa operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor — 99% of recent awards are prime contracts or IDVs, with only 7 sub-awards (1% of total) appearing in the source data. Named prime contractors the vendor subcontracts to include Leidos, Inc. (IT services and AFNCR IT work), Gilbane Federal (telecommunications and station rebuild work in Panama City), and Amentum Technology, Inc. (NISSC II engineering). Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, the vendor invoiced $2.7 million in FY2022, delivering roughly 8.9 FTEs in that fiscal year; SCI data shows a trajectory toward greater sub-engagement, with 16.9 FTEs recorded in FY2024 (all in named subcontractor roles), suggesting the vendor is diversifying into downstream teaming. However, the dominance of prime awards and the absence of significant sub-engagement on the company's own contracts indicate that MCS Of Tampa builds and staffs its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractors.

The vendor's award distribution concentrates heavily in telecommunications and IT infrastructure. The top five NAICS codes span Computer Facilities Management Services (190 awards), Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing (101 awards), Wired Telecommunications Carriers (98 awards), Telecommunications Resellers (74 awards), and Custom Computer Programming Services (74 awards). The portfolio reflects specialized depth in Unify and Siemens platforms — the company markets itself as a sole authorized Master Service Provider for Unify OpenScape products and maintains Mitel/Unify technical certifications. Recent activity is geographically dispersed, with places of performance spanning domestic Air Force installations in Nevada, Georgia, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Idaho, as well as international locations in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Guam. Work typically runs three to five years and carries firm fixed-price structures, with contract values ranging from approximately $7,000 to $2.1 million on prime awards, reflecting the vendor's niche position in specialized communications systems rather than large-scale enterprise infrastructure.
