Theissen Training Systems Inc.

Theissen Training Systems Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, delivers live-fire training range targetry systems, hardware, installation, training, and technical support services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements under Total Small Business set-asides on its core vehicle work.

The company's federal footprint centers on the U.S. Army. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 79% of recent awards, with the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command dominating volume at 86 awards ($86.5 million combined potential value), while the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation anchors the dollar value ranking at 23 awards worth $393.9 million combined potential. The Army Materiel Command's Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal rounds out the high-value tier at $126.6 million across five awards. Theissen also serves the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region (nine awards), the Army Security Assistance Command (two awards), and smaller customer sets at the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection, the Mississippi National Guard, and the General Services Administration. These relationships reflect Theissen's specialization: the company competes on Army Targetry Systems III, an IDIQ for military training range sustainment and modernization, and on the Live Training, Ranges, and Combat Training Centers (LTRaC) Multiple Award Contract, the Army's vehicle for comprehensive live-fire training infrastructure.

Theissen holds four named parent vehicles. The Army Targetry Systems III IDIQ has yielded 67 task orders worth $76.9 million; LTRaC 1, a $359.8 million Total Small Business multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded May 5, 2025, has generated 11 task orders worth $17.7 million. The company also operates under a $475,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region for weapons range target parts (awarded June 12, 2023, expiring June 11, 2028), and held a $1.3 million indefinite-delivery contract with ACC Detroit Arsenal for targetry spare parts and field service representative support (completed June 7, 2025). Recent representative prime work includes a $1.98 million Total Small Business delivery order from PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (July 20, 2026) for target lifters under LTRaC 1, a $7.97 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract with PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (June 11, 2026) for a multi-purpose range complex for Romania as a foreign military sales requirement, and a $2.76 million Army Targetry Systems III delivery order from TACOM (January 24, 2024) for warrant and modification work at Grafenwoehr Training Area.

Activity has remained relatively flat at 11 to 20 awards per year over the past five years, with combined potential value across the 170-award portfolio totaling $636 million. Theissen faces a recompete cliff: ten awards with combined potential value of $24 million complete within the next twenty-four months, including orders under LTRaC 1 and Army Targetry Systems III that will require pursuit and re-award.

Theissen subcontracts primarily to Lockheed Martin Corporation on targetry integration work, including labor for stationary armory targets, stationary infantry targets, laser target interface devices, and contact hit sensors at the National Training Center (six sub awards, 2023–2024). The company's primary NAICS concentration is 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and 333922 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing); the PSC footprint is dominated by Armament Training Devices (107 awards) and Training Aids (27 awards), reflecting the military small-arms training mission. Place of performance is typically Gainesville, Florida (manufacturing and sustainment support) or Chiefland, Florida (spare parts logistics), with field work conducted at Army installations worldwide and overseas (Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany; Clabber Creek, Texas; Fort Johnson, Louisiana; and multiple foreign military sales locations).
