Technical Services Laboratory, Inc.

Technical Services Laboratory, Inc., doing business as Technical Services Laboratory Inc., is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer of electrical and electronic components—cable assemblies, circuit card assemblies, wire harnesses, connectors, and related hardware—operating as a prime contractor on Department of Defense purchase orders. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements; roughly 13 percent of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, but the bulk of work is awarded without set-aside.

Based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Technical Services Laboratory is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation focused on defense electronics manufacturing and repair. The vendor's award footprint spans 455 total federal contracts since 1980, with recent activity concentrated in small-dollar purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Over the past five years, annual award volume peaked at 30 contracts in 2023, then declined to 24 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 2 so far in 2026—a trajectory showing significant contraction. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $8.1 million, but the vendor has obligated $31.3 million across this portfolio, indicating that invoiced revenue substantially exceeds stated contract ceilings, typical of long-running small-order supplier relationships.

Customer concentration is high and split between logistics supply and repair work. The top five customers by award count account for 71 percent of awards: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (131 awards, $197 thousand potential value), DLA Aviation (81 awards, $286 thousand), the Department of the Air Force (53 awards, $46 thousand), DLA Land and Maritime (30 awards, $208 thousand), and the Department of the Navy (26 awards). However, potential-value rankings diverge significantly. Air Force Materiel Command dominates dollars despite placing only 2 awards ($4.4 million combined potential value), and Air Mobility Command accounts for $983 thousand across 3 awards. DLA divisions place the most orders but in smaller unit quantities. This split reflects Technical Services Laboratory's dual role: a high-volume supplier of commodity electronic parts to logistics commands and an occasional repair and calibration vendor to operational Air Force commands.

Technical Services Laboratory sits on five indefinite delivery contracts and basic ordering agreements, the largest being Indefinite Delivery Contract F0460600D0024 (8 task orders), Basic Ordering Agreement F0460687D0094 (6 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract F0863580C0054 (5 task orders). These vehicles anchor sustained work with DLA and Air Force organizations. Representative recent prime awards include a $44,940 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation for cable assemblies (September 2023, ultimate completion September 2026), a $31,200 DLA Aviation order for cable assemblies for switches (August 2023), a $26,325 DLA Land and Maritime order for circuit card assemblies (March 2024), a $7,985 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for electrical test sets (December 2024), and a $3,950 total small business set-aside repair and calibration order from Air Force Air Mobility Command for an amplifier calibrator at Travis Air Force Base (January 2022).

The vendor holds a single named subcontract: a Raytheon subcontract for PATRIOT PBL unprogrammed demands transmitters awarded in August 2024. The vast majority of Technical Services Laboratory's federal footprint is prime-contractor work (100 percent of awards in the source). Top NAICS categories reflect the manufacturing portfolio: Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (38 awards), Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (34 awards), and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (25 awards). The PSC profile mirrors this—Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment (119 awards) dominates, followed by Electrical Control Equipment (41 awards) and Cable, Cord, and Wire Assemblies for Communications Equipment (30 awards).

The recompete window presents minimal immediate risk: only one award (combined potential value $5 thousand) reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. However, the sharp decline in annual award volume—from 30 awards in 2023 to 2 in 2026—signals either a shift in DLA ordering patterns, loss of market share, or completion of higher-volume contract vehicles without successful recompete. Competitors pursuing DLA supply relationships or Air Force repair and calibration work should monitor whether Technical Services Laboratory's contraction reflects broader logistics-command consolidation or vendor-specific performance or relationship issues.
