The Centers For Habilitation / TCH

The Centers For Habilitation, doing business as TCH, is an AbilityOne-certified non-profit organization based in Tempe, Arizona that delivers custodial, janitorial, groundskeeping, mess attendant, and food service support to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) and occasionally as a sub-recipient on federal grants. TCH operates as a tax-exempt social enterprise creating employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities while performing facility support services at military installations and federal offices.

TCH's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of the Air Force across multiple commands. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of awards by count, led by Air Education and Training Command (53 awards, $48.6 million combined potential value), Air Combat Command (18 awards, $25.7 million), the broader Department of the Air Force (39 awards, $18.2 million), the United States Marine Corps (69 awards, $10.6 million), and the Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration (7 awards, $10.5 million). By potential value, AETC and ACC anchor the portfolio at roughly 63% of combined dollars; by award count, Marine Corps volume (69 awards) slightly edges AETC (53 awards), indicating that AETC's awards carry larger individual task-order values while Marine Corps work splits across numerous smaller orders.

TCH's capability footprint centers on three facility-support categories: landscaping services and grounds maintenance (111 awards), custodial and janitorial operations (83 awards), and food service support including mess attendant services (27 awards). Representative work includes a $9.16 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Air Education and Training Command for base-wide custodial services at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona (covering DCMA, 56th Medical Group, and five fighter wings through September 2026), a $3.9 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract with the Western Area Power Administration for janitorial and grounds maintenance across the Desert Southwest Region (base plus four option years running through July 2030), and recent delivery orders under the Luke AFB IDV for squadron-specific custodial work ranging from $29,200 to $1.87 million. TCH also holds a $250,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Air National Guard for food services support (effective April 2026 through March 2031).

The top parent vehicles reflect TCH's Marine Corps and Navy presence alongside Air Force concentration. Navy IDCs (N6871103D1714, N6871198D0927, N6247309D5403) account for 104 task orders across three major contracts; Air Force Basic Ordering Agreement FA488715G0001 carries 31 task orders ($8.9 million); and Air Force IDC FA488722D0001 holds 16 task orders ($9.3 million). Collectively, these five vehicles represent the bulk of TCH's task-order activity.

Activity has remained relatively stable at five to seven awards annually over the past five years (2022 through 2026), with modest volatility: six awards in 2022, four in 2023, seven in 2024, six in 2025, and two recorded through April 2026. Only four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, totaling $2 million in combined potential value, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue (covering service contracts above the $150,000 threshold) totaled $787 thousand in FY2022 and $731 thousand in FY2024, representing roughly 3.3 to 3.7 FTEs delivered annually to federal service customers during those fiscal years; government-paid hourly rates across prime SCI records average around $105/hr, with rates spanning $97/hr at the 10th percentile to $113/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, TCH performed 0% of contractor hours through subcontractors, indicating that the organization builds and manages its own delivery workforce rather than relying on sub-engagement. TCH also appears in grant sub-award activity, serving as a sub-recipient on Department of Energy and Department of Transportation awards for mobility management and preventive maintenance services (awards dated April 2024 and May 2025); the source does not specify the grantor programs or CFDA numbers for these sub-grants.
