TCI Mechanical, Inc.

TCI Mechanical, Inc., a small business contractor headquartered in Atlantic Beach, Florida, provides galley equipment maintenance, refrigeration repair, HVAC installation, and mechanical systems support to the Department of the Navy and Department of Homeland Security primarily as a subcontractor (64% of recent awards) on ship repair and facility maintenance work. The vendor competes predominantly without set-asides on its subcontract footprint, though its smaller prime awards carry total small business set-aside designations.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on concrete mechanical services: galley equipment preventative maintenance and repair, ice machine and refrigeration unit servicing, air-conditioning system installation and troubleshooting, heating system repair, appliance maintenance (Speed Queen washer-dryer combos, oven and steamer repairs), mess deck furniture replacement, and habitability upgrade work aboard naval vessels. Representative prime work includes a $578,652 total small business set-aside purchase order from Navy Installations Command for galley equipment maintenance at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia, running through September 2028; a $448,000 full-and-open purchase order from U.S. Fleet Forces Command for habitability upgrades aboard USS Farragut (removing and reconfiguring wardroom, officer stateroom, and crew spaces) completed in May 2022; and a $124,000 total small business set-aside order from Fleet Forces Command for mess deck furniture replacement completed in December 2022. TCI also recently secured a $7.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement from Naval Air Systems Command (awarded July 2025, running through July 2030) for preventative maintenance, repairs, evaluations, and technical support on an as-requested basis.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Navy. The top five funding entities account for 90% of awards by count, led by Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) with 105 awards and $931 thousand combined potential value, and Naval Sea Systems Command with 21 awards and $881 thousand. However, the dollars ranking diverges sharply: Naval Air Systems Command anchors the portfolio with only 2 awards but $7.5 million combined potential value (the BPA ceiling), while Navy Installations Command places 13 awards worth $1.4 million. Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection round out the active set with 8 and 4 awards respectively, totaling $200 thousand combined potential value.

TCI's subcontract footprint is dominated by ship repair primes. BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair LLC accounts for the plurality of sub-awards, followed by East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC and Aktarius LLC. Recent sub-work includes labor and material provision aboard USS Ramage (DDG 61), USS Billings (LCS 15), USS Delbert D Black (DDG 119), and USS Farragut (DDG 99) for air-conditioning plant compressor motor replacement, antenna array face resurface support, laundry system repair, and temporary HVAC provisioning. The vendor also subs to Lockheed Martin, Metro Machine Corp., Marine Hydraulics International, QED Systems, Epsilon Systems Solutions, and Tecnico Corporation on fleet maintenance and modernization work.

Activity has grown from 8 awards in 2022 to a peak of 51 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show sharp contraction (22 and 2 awards respectively). This trajectory signals either a recompete cycle or a shift in work type; only 2 awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $596 thousand, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The $7.5 million BPA from NAVAIR, however, anchors the forward pipeline at a material scale through 2030. Top parent vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contracts N0002421D4457 (17 task orders) and N3943021D2206 (8 task orders), plus NAVSEA Ship Maintenance Repair and Modernization agreements (15 task orders). Work is performed primarily in Northeast Florida (Jacksonville area, Mayport Naval Station, Atlantic Beach), Georgia (Kings Bay Submarine Base), and Virginia (Norfolk, Newport News shipyard areas) with placement of performance aligning to ship maintenance availabilities at Fleet Forces Command Atlantic and Naval Sea Systems Command facilities. The vendor's award portfolio reflects nearly $13.2 million in obligated dollars across 168 total awards, exceeding the $11 million combined potential value listed — consistent with actual invoicing on spot purchases and task orders exceeding ceiling estimates.
