TCS Access, LLC

TCS Access, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Silver Spring, Maryland, delivers assistive technology products, specialized training, and IT professional services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing across open federal procurement without set-asides. The company operates as a limited liability corporation and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business.

TCS Access concentrates almost entirely on workplace accessibility and inclusion solutions. Its capability portfolio spans assistive technology hardware and software (including Dragon, Read & Write, and JAWS software), remote training delivery on these platforms, document remediation, PDF remediation, web developer accessibility, mobile accessibility consulting, and IT professional services supporting employees and service members with disabilities. Recent representative work includes a $637,000 delivery order from the Social Security Administration for assistive technology training to SSA employees with disabilities (August 2024–July 2025) under a $5.4 million CADS Assistive Technology Training Contract; multiple BPA calls from the Defense Human Resources Activity ranging from $615 to $30,600 for AT products and services throughout 2024–2026; and a $12,800 purchase order from the Department of Education's Office of the Chief Financial Officer for Dragon training delivery (July–December 2023).

TCS Access holds three core indefinite delivery vehicles. The $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Human Resources Activity (awarded November 2022, running through October 2027) anchors the company's federal footprint; 53 task orders have been issued under this vehicle with combined potential value of roughly $1 million. The company also holds a $5.4 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Social Security Administration for assistive technology training under the CADS program (awarded June 2023, ultimate completion January 2029), with eight task orders valued at $3.5 million combined. A November 2024 General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract provides a $500,000 ceiling for IT professional services and training, with five labor categories spanning assistive technology and accessibility instruction at hourly rates between $133.59 and $187.14 (all positions require a bachelor's degree; no cleared roles are offered).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Human Resources Activity dominates the footprint with 110 awards carrying $34.8 million combined potential value (representing roughly 67% of the company's total potential value across all 136 awards). The Social Security Administration ranks second with 13 awards worth $16.2 million. Together these two agencies account for 95% of recent awards and 100% of the combined potential value. The remaining ten customer agencies—including the Department of State, Department of Health and Human Services, Defense Logistics Agency, and Department of Justice—place sporadic single awards under $100,000. DHRA issues the vast majority of task orders through two principal BPA vehicles: BPA H9821017A0019 (53 task orders, $1 million combined potential value) and BPA H9821023A0005 (29 task orders, $397 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has been flat over the past five years, averaging roughly ten awards per year (2022: 11 awards; 2023: 13; 2024: 11; 2025: 9; 2026: 3 to date). Only one award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months—a $600,000 contract—creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Combined obligated dollars are $7.5 million against $51.7 million in potential value, indicating that TCS Access performs incremental work orders across a wide ceiling rather than drawing down large single contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the source data.

TCS Access competes in full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside designation, despite its woman-owned small disadvantaged business status. This competitive posture, combined with sustained presence on two long-running IDVs (DHRA and SSA) that extend through 2027–2029, positions the vendor as a specialized accessibility-solutions provider rather than as a set-aside-dependent small business seeking to broaden its customer base.
