TDB Communications Inc.

TDB Communications Inc. NA Division, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and 8(a) Program Participant headquartered in Washington, DC, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering court reporting, transcription, medical documentation, temporary staffing, and business process outsourcing services across the federal government, with secondary operations through its subsidiary Tmax Government Solutions LLC.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Veterans Affairs, which accounts for the dominant share of awards across multiple service networks. The top five funding entities by award count—VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (82 awards, $6.9 million combined potential value), VISN 23 (73 awards, $13.2 million), VISN 15 (53 awards, $5.3 million), VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (46 awards, $8.4 million), and VISN 4 (44 awards, $6.6 million)—cover 33% of recent awards. When ranked by combined potential value, the top customers diverge: VA Headquarters leads at $38.6 million across 25 awards, followed by VISN 5 ($26.3 million across 37 awards), Department of the Interior Interior Business Center ($22.5 million across 26 awards), VISN 23 ($13.2 million across 73 awards), and VISN 10 ($10 million across 12 awards), together representing 30% of combined potential value. The concentration gap signals that TDB places many small task orders across VA networks while anchoring larger volume to VA Headquarters and Interior.

TDB's capability portfolio centers on court reporting and transcription services (99 awards under the top NAICS code Court Reporting and Stenotype Services), temporary staffing across administrative and professional roles (655 awards under Temporary Help Services), and administrative and management support. Representative recent awards include a $706,667 delivery order from Washington Headquarters Service (Defense agency) for court reporting and transcription support services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule running through February 2028; a $3.794 million 8(a) sole-source purchase order from CDC Pittsburgh for NCIRD/DVD information management services through March 2027; a $257,025 delivery order from the US Attorney's Offices for paralegal services under GSA MAS through September 2024; and a $140,000 8(a) sole-source delivery order from the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance for court reporting and transcription services to the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program through August 2029. Across the VA enterprise, TDB holds a $1 million SDVOSB set-aside Indefinite Delivery Vehicle for court reporting and transcription services with VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, a $1.267 million BPA for COVID-19 screening at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (Indianapolis) through May 2023, and a $275,000 multiple-award Federal Supply Schedule contract for professional and allied healthcare staffing services with VISN 12 (effective December 2024 through December 2029) pricing temporary healthcare personnel—physicians in multiple specialties, registered nurses, dentists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners—at rates ranging from $87.14/hr (RN Case Manager) to $265.15/hr (specialist physicians), with shift premiums and differential compensation structures.

TDB's primary contract vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, through which 699 task orders carry $195.9 million in combined potential value. Secondary vehicles include Temporary Administrative and Professional Staffing (129 task orders, $8.2 million), three numbered Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDC 36C10X21D0018 with 27 task orders and $938 thousand; IDC IND12PC00099 with 16 task orders and $2.2 million; IDC 36C25520D0015 with 13 task orders and $483 thousand), and various single-award BPAs with VA service networks. On the GSA Schedule, TDB offers 239 unique labor categories spanning data entry ($21.47/hr), administrative and professional support roles ($30–$60/hr range), and specialized technical positions (Environmental Technician at $168.75/hr), with no security-clearance requirements. The rate spectrum reflects the vendor's low-clearance administrative and staffing focus.

Activity has contracted sharply. Awards per year declined from 40 in 2022 to 25 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 3 in 2026 (through mid-June). This steep downward trajectory suggests either contract consolidation, customer migration away from TDB, or completion of large pandemic-era COVID-19 screening and staffing vehicles. Only nine awards with combined potential value of $4.7 million face completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure but also minimal near-term revenue refresh.

Service Contract Inventory data (FY2022–FY2024, covering contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold) shows SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $6.9 million across 18 prime records: FY2022 invoiced $3.4 million with a contract-level average of 49.4 FTEs; FY2023 invoiced $2.5 million with 29.9 FTEs; FY2024 invoiced $1 million with 31.9 FTEs. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $30.95/hr, with rates spanning from $7.90/hr at the 10th percentile to $92.93/hr at the 90th percentile, consistent with the low-clearance administrative and medical staffing mix. TDB reported an average 10% subcontractor-hour share across prime contracts, naming two subcontractors; the vendor builds its own delivery teams with minimal outsourcing. TDB also operates as a subcontractor to Maximus Federal Services Inc. on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services contact center operations (two sub-awards as of December 2022) and received a disability-determinations sub-award from the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services (December 2023).

TDB competes predominantly under SDVOSB and 8(a) set-aside categories. Across the recent award population, the majority of orders carry either SDVOSB, 8(a) sole-source, 8(a) competitive, or total-small-business set-aside designations, with full-and-open awards representing a secondary posture. This set-aside concentration reflects the vendor's certification strategy and customer preference for veteran-owned small-business vehicles at the VA and other civilian agencies.

TDB Communications, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, has been providing the Federal Government with staff augmentation services since 1999.
