Tenica And Associates LLC

Tenica And Associates LLC, doing business as Tenica Global Solutions, is a SBA-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned small business (VOSB) providing IT support, logistics and facilities management, and program management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (82% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to larger primes. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Tenica operates as a for-profit limited liability company and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, with 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) designations recurrent across the prime footprint.

Tenica's capability portfolio centers on network engineering, digital platform transformation, enterprise architecture support, logistics analysis, and strategic program management. Representative prime work includes a $4.85 million time-and-materials delivery order from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (May 2023, under 8(a) STARS III) for IT support services to the Strategic Capabilities Office's Special Network Activity, extending through January 2026; a $27.3 million firm fixed-price delivery order from US Fleet Forces Europe-Africa (February 2022, under Seaport-NXG IDIQ) for watchstander services at Chantilly, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of February 2027 and $84,144 in contractor hours and 40.5 FTEs reported in FY2024; and a series of logistics support and facilities maintenance delivery orders with Naval Facilities Engineering Command valued individually between $1 million and $1.08 million. On the civilian side, Tenica holds two definitive labor-hours contracts with the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security for Section 232 program management and export administration analysis support, collectively valued at $10.4 million and expiring in 2024.

Tenica sits on four major federal acquisition vehicles: the 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract ($50 billion ceiling, awarded February 2022, expiring July 2026) through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, where it has issued task orders to the Office of the Secretary of Defense; the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ ($999,999,999,999 ceiling, awarded December 2024, expiring December 2029) and OASIS+ Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business IDIQ ($999,999,999,999 ceiling, awarded September 2024, expiring September 2029), both through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service; and a Department of Commerce Blanket Purchase Agreement ($1 billion ceiling, awarded August 2024, expiring September 2029). Most significantly, Tenica was awarded a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling running through December 2035 and an initial delivery order valued at five hundred dollars. This Missile Defense Agency vehicle encompasses research and development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid defense domains with potential performance at multiple locations including Huntsville, Alabama.

Customer concentration reflects Tenica's dual civilian-and-defense posture. Across the top five customers by combined potential value, GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $50 billion (anchored by SHIELD and the OASIS+ vehicles), followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command at $10 billion, Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters at $1 billion, US Fleet Forces Europe-Africa at $27.3 million, and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command at $24.4 million. By award count, Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads with ten awards ($12.8 million combined potential value), followed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement with seven awards ($4.3 million), Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security with four awards ($14.3 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service with four awards ($50 billion), and Navy SECNAV Criminal Investigative Service Quantico with four awards ($1.8 million). The divergence between count and dollars reflects the outsized dollar weight of Tenica's SHIELD and OASIS+ vehicle positions relative to smaller delivery orders under agency-specific IDIQs.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across Tenica's federal service contracts totaled $29 million over FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $8.3 million, FY2023: $11 million, FY2024: $9.7 million), with reported FTE workforce growing from 40.9 FTEs in FY2022 to 68.4 FTEs in FY2024 across five prime SCI-reportable contracts. Government-paid median hourly rates ran around $75.12/hr, with the 10th percentile at $54.73/hr and the 90th percentile at $153.79/hr. On GSA Schedule labor, Tenica offers five categories spanning driver roles at $77.40/hr through logistics management specialists at $123.91/hr, with roles ranging from high-school-equivalent education to bachelor's degrees and security-clearance posture varying by category. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 23% of contractor hours, with thirteen named subcontractors reported over the source period; Tenica self-performed the majority of hours on the Seaport-NXG watchstander delivery order.

In its subcontractor capacity, Tenica delivers transportation services and systems-engineering support to Immigration and Customs Enforcement through Vistra Communications LLC (multiple award dates spanning June 2022 through January 2025), systems-engineering support to the Department of Defense National Leadership Command Capabilities Management Office through Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (May 2024), and DNS and network remediation engineering support to the Army's Program Executive Office Digital through Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp (November 2021).

Recent activity shows four awards in 2025 and one award year-to-date in 2026. Only two awards (combined potential value $28.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure for Tenica but suggesting concentration of performance obligations extending into 2027–2035, particularly the multi-billion-dollar vehicles awarded in late 2024 and the $151 billion SHIELD IDIQ awarded in December 2025.
