Teel, Inc.

Teel, Inc., doing business as Teel Technologies, an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, supplies digital forensics software, hardware, and training to federal law enforcement and national security agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on larger defense and intelligence programs. Teel competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though the company holds WOSB certification and has secured awards under small-business set-asides when available.

Teel's capability portfolio centers on forensic examination tools: password-cracking software (Passware Kit Forensic Lab Edition, Passware Kit Mobile), digital evidence management systems (X-Bit case management software, Forensic Explorer), mobile device extraction devices (PC-3000 data recovery systems, UFED 4PC subscriptions), embedded hardware analysis tools (BitMindz forensic workstations and processing engines), and specialized technical training in chip-off analysis, in-system programming, board-level repair, and advanced UAV forensics. Representative prime work includes a $833,474 UFED 4PC subscription renewal with the Navy's Criminal Investigative Service (February 2023), a $200,780 PC-3000 III Ultimate System Kit procurement from the Internal Revenue Service (September 2021), a $125,965 computers-and-decryption-device order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for Homeland Security Investigations (September 2023), and a $100,990 delivery order from the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General for X-Bit case management system migration and support services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (August 2023). Teel also provides specialized training packages: a $35,500 ten-course training package to the Coast Guard covering JTAG, chip-off, bootloader analysis, embedded hardware, advanced UAV forensics, SQLite, and network forensics (September 2023).

Customer concentration is fragmented across law enforcement and investigative agencies. The top five customers account for 47% of recent awards by count but only 52% by combined potential value, indicating a mixed portfolio of high-volume small orders and higher-value specialty procurements. The FBI Headquarters Division leads by award count (57 awards, $879 thousand), followed by the DEA (33 awards, $367 thousand) and the Coast Guard (22 awards, $404 thousand). The Secret Service, however, anchors the largest dollar share ($1.7 million across 11 awards), driven by a single $1.425 million digital evidence management software contract (January 2022) for 300 X-Bit licenses to the National Computer Forensics Institute. The Navy's Criminal Investigative Service represents $1.3 million across 17 awards. This agency diversity—58 distinct customer organizations served—reflects a broad but shallow federal footprint typical of small-business forensics vendors, with no customer dominating both volume and dollars simultaneously.

Teel holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (47QTCA23D00AZ) with a $500,000 ceiling through July 2028, under which it provides forensic software and hardware to federal agencies nationwide; this vehicle has generated a $100,990 delivery order from DOJ-OIG under option period three, demonstrating sustained usage. The vendor also places work under Alliant II (7 task orders) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (H9225417D0001, 3 task orders), though these represent marginal activity relative to direct agency purchases.

Activity has remained modest and variable: 9 awards in 2022, accelerating to 18 in 2023, then declining to 9 in 2024 and 12 in 2025, with only 3 awards recorded to date in 2026. Seven awards (combined potential value $142 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all 307 awards is $9.4 million, with $9.6 million obligated—indicating the vendor has slightly exceeded its ceiling commitments across the portfolio.

In subcontractor roles, Teel supplies digital forensics capabilities and hardware components to Leidos (Homeland Enterprise Information Technology Secure Services and Support task order, December 2025; unnamed DoD obligation, January 2025), Peraton Enterprise Solutions (DC3 directorate support and technical maintenance for PC-3000 systems, multiple modifications through 2024), and Lockheed Martin (USAREUR exploitation work and secure systems integration, multiple task orders through 2025). These sub positions account for only 3% of the vendor's recent award count, confirming Teel's primary posture as a direct vendor to law enforcement and investigative agencies rather than as a defense-industrial subcontractor.

The vendor's top NAICS codes reflect its product focus: Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers (88 awards), Other Computer Related Services (63 awards), and related communications and manufacturing categories. Top PSC coding is dominated by Information Technology Software (71 awards) and Information Technology Support Equipment (20 awards), with education and training representing a secondary revenue stream (19 and 12 awards respectively).
