Technical Data Analysis, Inc.

Technical Data Analysis, Inc., doing business as Technical Data Analysis Inc., is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Lexington Park, Maryland, that delivers aircraft structural life monitoring, airworthiness certification, and research and development services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). TDA operates predominantly under full-and-open procurement with recurring Total Small Business set-aside designations on select task orders and definitive contracts.

TDA's federal footprint is nearly monolithic: the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAVAIR) represents 189 awards and $197.1 million in combined potential value, or 96% of all recent awards and 96% of all potential value. The vendor's core competency portfolio centers on structural appraisal of fatigue effects (SAFE) programs, strength engineering, loads and dynamics engineering, and technical data analysis across fixed-wing and rotary-wing naval aviation platforms including the AV-8B Harrier, F/A-18 Super Hornet, P-3 Orion, H-60 Seahawk, CH-53K, and P-8. Work is performed at Patuxent River, Maryland, where the Naval Air Warfare Center's primary facility is located. Representative recent work includes an $18.4 million Total Small Business delivery order awarded August 28, 2024, for aircraft structural life monitoring and airworthiness certification support under the OMN SAFE program through August 2029; a $1.3 million Total Small Business STTR Phase II definitive contract awarded December 7, 2023; and a $463 thousand Firm Fixed Price SBIR Phase III delivery order awarded June 18, 2025. TDA also subcontracts at low volume — two named sub-awards in the source, including B-52 Flight Data Interpretation and Mission Data Recorder work under Southwest Research Institute on defense aircraft structural programs.

TDA's primary vehicle position is a five-year, $43.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0042119D0069 / award date August 28, 2024) for engineering and technical services related to aircraft structural life monitoring and airworthiness certification, covering SAFE programs, strength engineering, and loads and dynamics engineering. This IDC carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation and runs through August 27, 2029. A second active IDC (N0042124D0022) has generated 28 task orders and $27 million in combined potential value. Beyond these NAVAIR vehicles, TDA holds two Basic Ordering Agreements (NON—one for SBIR Phase III work and one for additional Navy research activity) that have generated $9.3 million in combined potential value across 11 task orders. The vendor also maintains a position on SeaPort-e, though activity there is minimal.

Activity has been steady at roughly 12 to 16 awards per year over the past five fiscal years. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $5.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts captured above the $150,000 threshold totaled $6.5 million across FY2022–FY2023 ($3.2 million in FY2022, $3.3 million in FY2023), with roughly 20 FTEs delivering labor to federal customers in each year. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts median around $77.44/hr, with a range from $75.06/hr at the 10th percentile to $79.83/hr at the 90th percentile, positioning TDA in the lower-mid-range of technical labor pricing. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, TDA performed substantially all work in-house with zero average sub-hours share, indicating a self-delivery model rather than a subcontracting-dependent operation.

TDA has maintained a federal contracting relationship with NAVAIR since 2002. The vendor is registered on SAM as a small business and carries no named SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or similar) in the source; set-aside participation is available through total small business designations on eligible vehicles and task orders. Outside NAVAIR, TDA holds minimal customer diversity — the Office of Naval Research, Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Center, and Air Force Materiel Command each anchor single-digit awards worth under $2 million combined. The two named subcontracting relationships (Southwest Research Institute and Atlantic Diving Supply) signal TDA's use of specialized subs for niche technical domains rather than a horizontal subcontracting model.
