Tactical Defense Solutions LLC

Tactical Defense Solutions LLC Jeanette Sweeney Division, doing business as TDS, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified veteran-owned small business (VOSB) based in Leesburg, Virginia, that delivers combat shooting training, weapons qualification assessments, and marksmanship instruction to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on a single-award indefinite delivery contract. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime—100 percent of its recent award footprint consists of prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles with no subcontract activity—and competes almost entirely under small-business set-asides, with the majority of delivery orders designated Total Small Business or competing without formal set-aside. TDS is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and holds SDVOSB and VOSB certifications expiring July 5, 2027.

TDS's customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command accounts for 98 of 104 awards (94% of total) and $11.1 million of the $11.3 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The remaining 6 awards distributed across the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Construction Forces, and United States Pacific Fleet Forces total $207 thousand. This concentration reflects TDS's core business: the vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (N0018924D0005) valued at $3.4 million running through May 2029, from which it draws the majority of its delivery orders for combat shooting training program labor and services. Through this IDC and two predecessor single-award vehicles (N0018918D0047 and N0018915D0017), TDS has issued 97 delivery orders since 2022. Representative orders include a $56,147 delivery order for the ROTA Spain course in March 2026 (ultimate completion April 3, 2026), a $30,429 order for Virginia Beach course training in August 2025, and a $109,849 order for Guam course travel in September 2024. Work is performed in Portsmouth, Virginia (the vendor's primary facility location) and subordinate locations at Port Hueneme, California, and Guam, with delivery orders ranging from approximately $25,000 to $109,849.

Activity has been flat to declining over the past four years. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, declining to 8 in 2024 before recovering to 10 in 2025; only 2 awards appear in 2026 year-to-date as of April 2026. The combined potential value of all awards is $11.3 million, with $3.4 million obligated to date (30 percent utilization rate). The portfolio carries recompete risk: the current IDC N0018924D0005 runs through May 2029, and the predecessor vehicles that anchored earlier delivery orders have already concluded, meaning the vendor faces a refresh cycle on its primary contract vehicle before 2029.

TDS's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: firearms handling instruction, dynamic shooting techniques, weapons qualification and marksmanship assessment, and combat readiness preparation for naval expeditionary personnel. All work falls under NAICS 611710 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) for 100 awards and PSC codes Education/Training–Other (73 awards) and Education/Training–Security (27 awards). The vendor does not compete for prime work outside the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, nor does it hold a position on government-wide acquisition contracts, GWACs, or multi-agency vehicles; its contract footprint consists entirely of single-award Navy-specific IDCs and their delivery orders.
