The Dalton Gang, Inc.

The Dalton Gang, Inc. (doing business as TDG), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Warrenton, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor delivering cybersecurity risk management, federal compliance, and information security services to civilian federal agencies—primarily under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific Blanket Purchase Agreements, with no subcontracting activity in the prime footprint.

TDG's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) subcomponents, which account for 66% of recent awards despite representing only a small fraction of the combined potential-value picture. The Department of Agriculture APHIS Veterinary Services, Plant Protection and Quarantine, and Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services IT Division together hold 113 awards valued at roughly $3.4 million combined. However, the top-five customers by potential value are dominated by two anchortenants: the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation (5 awards, $48.2 million) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (4 awards, $12.8 million). This divergence reflects a heavy tail of small APHIS work orders offset by large VA media sanitization delivery orders and USBR software development awards.

TDG's core capability portfolio centers on Risk Management Framework (RMF) implementation, security testing, continuous monitoring assessments, and Authority to Operate (ATO) certification support for federal IT systems. Representative work includes a $4.89 million SDVOSB-set-aside delivery order from the VA Technology Acquisition Center (awarded June 23, 2026, completion October 31, 2030) for media sanitization and destruction services with performance in Eatontown, New Jersey; a $4.79 million firm-fixed-price VA delivery order (awarded May 17, 2022, completion May 16, 2026) for media sanitization; and multiple APHIS RMF BPA calls, including annual security testing ($347 thousand, January 6, 2025), controls assessments, and system authorization documentation across ePermits, the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, and cloud environments (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services). On the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, TDG holds 17 active labor categories at hourly rates ranging from $87.13 (Technical Writer, Cybersecurity) through $321.83 (IT Program Manager), all requiring a bachelor's degree and zero security-clearance roles.

TDG's vehicle position centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (102 task orders, $21.4 million combined potential value) and the GSA Information Technology Schedule 70 (82 task orders, $2.6 million), supplemented by agency-specific BPAs: the USDA APHIS BPA 12639521A0013 (42 task orders, $1.6 million) and BPA AG32KWB150004 (71 task orders, $992 thousand). The vendor also holds seats on the Bureau of Reclamation's Software Development and Operations IDIQ (4 task orders, $3.2 million).

Activity trajectory shows extreme volatility: 17 awards in 2022, then a cliff to 2 awards in 2023, 2 in 2024, recovering to 3 in 2025 and 3 in 2026. Across 235 total awards in the source data spanning 2007–September 2026, combined potential value stands at $1.08 billion, though combined obligated dollars total only $15.9 million (1% of potential), signaling a large portfolio of unrealized ceiling values. The recompete cliff shows only $261 thousand in awards completing in the next twenty-four months—a low-pressure recompete environment.

Service Contract Inventory data reveal modest federal service-contract activity: $6 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 (prime records), delivered by roughly 6–8 FTEs per fiscal year. FY2022 saw $1.6 million across 7.1 FTEs; FY2023–FY2025 remained flat at approximately $1.4–$1.5 million and 7–8 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ran median $86.34/hr, with a 10th percentile of $64.18/hr and 90th percentile of $119.92/hr—consistent with junior-to-mid-level cybersecurity labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 22% of total contractor hours; TDG named 7 total subcontractors in the SCI dataset. TDG operates as a pure prime across the vast majority of its award footprint (235 prime, 0 sub awards), though SCI records show occasional subcontracting engagement on larger prime vehicles, likely for specialized skill augmentation.
