Trident Technical Solutions, LLC

Trident Technical Solutions, LLC, doing business as Ardent Eagle Solutions, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) that delivers staffing support, program management, and facilities maintenance to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) and engineering services subcontractor to defense primes. Headquartered in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri with an office in Tampa, Florida, Trident competes predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and full-and-open vehicles; nearly all prime work flows through SDVOSB-designated IDIQs and BPAs, with recent unrestricted awards on GSA Schedule and total-small-business vehicles signaling expansion into non-set-aside competition.

Trident's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Commerce. The top five funding agencies account for 74% of awards by count: the Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary leads with 78 awards and $262.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (29 awards, $4.5 million), the Commerce International Trade Administration (28 awards, $97.5 million), the Army Acquisition Support Center (23 awards), and Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (14 awards, $12.9 million). However, the potential-value ranking diverges sharply—the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio with four awards carrying $15.28 billion in combined potential value, reflecting recent wins on major Navy defense contracts; this represents a strategic shift toward defense teaming alongside the vendor's established Commerce relationships. Commerce accounts for roughly 2.4% of total potential value despite representing 74% of award count, indicating that Commerce work clusters in small task orders while Navy exposure concentrates in high-value indefinite vehicles.

Trident's core capability footprint rests on staffing augmentation and administrative support delivered through the Department of Commerce's Staff Support Services 2 (SS2) IDIQ, a $151 million SDVOSB-set-aside vehicle where the vendor holds 82 task orders valued at $114.4 million in combined potential value. Representative SS2 awards include a $38.6 million delivery order from the International Trade Administration (June 8, 2022, completion June 3, 2026) for staffing support on a time-and-materials basis, a $5.47 million order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (June 5, 2023, completion November 4, 2025) for staffing support, and a $3.07 million order from the Minority Business Development Agency (September 30, 2023, completion September 29, 2027, terminated for convenience) for staffing support. SCI-reported invoicing on federal service contracts reached $23.1 million in FY2024, with a workforce of 153 full-time equivalents deployed across staffing roles. Median government-paid rates run approximately $66.03 per hour across Trident's SCI-reportable prime contracts, with the rate spectrum anchored at $53.17 per hour at the 10th percentile and climbing to $122.84 per hour at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of administrative support, program management, and professional-services labor. On the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (awarded February 4, 2022, ceiling $475,000, performance through February 3, 2027), the vendor offers ten IT labor categories spanning IT Specialist, Applications Developer, Database Developer, Enterprise Architect, Field Engineer, IT Security Engineer, Network Engineer, Systems Engineer, Technical Lead, and Project Manager, with rates ranging from $63.48 to $185.65 per hour and all categories requiring a bachelor's degree but no security clearances.

Beyond Commerce staffing, Trident holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (ceiling $785,751, awarded September 12, 2024, completion October 27, 2026) for mass notification systems maintenance and repair at Fort Leonard Wood—preventative maintenance, service calls, repairs, testing, inspections, and record keeping for indoor announcement equipment—and carries recent delivery orders for facilities support from the Air Force and housekeeping services across installations. Subcontract work routes through Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (where Trident supplies engineering services and microelectronic capability solutions for the Advanced Technology Support Program and related weapon-system development) and Amentum Technology, Inc. (where Trident performs computer services on the SITEC 2 BRIDGE program). The subcontractor footprint is thin; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 4% of total contractor hours on average, and Trident reports 13 named subcontractors across the portfolio, indicating the vendor builds and staffs its own delivery teams rather than leans on sub engagement for scale.

Parent vehicle position is dominated by the SS2 IDIQ and a $9.9 million blanket purchase agreement awarded by the Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary (July 24, 2026, completion July 23, 2027) for interim staffing support, with twelve task-order calls issued between August 8 and August 17, 2026 ranging from $70,054 to $2.336 million. Trident was awarded a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside multiple-award IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, ceiling a multi-billion-dollar value, completion December 18, 2029), where it has issued a $9.166 million delivery order from the International Trade Administration (June 4, 2026, completion June 3, 2027) for antidumping and countervailing duty interim operations support. A separate large vehicle—the SSO Staff Augmentation Support (46 task orders, $63.3 million combined potential value)—also appears in the top vehicles but lacks named agency detail in the source.

Activity has grown from 17 awards in 2022 to a peak of 29 in 2025, settling at 22 in 2026, with 22 awards (combined potential value $23 million) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete risk. The vendor's top NAICS categories are Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (147 awards), Engineering Services (26 awards), Electrical Contractors (20 awards), and Communication Equipment Repair and Maintenance (11 awards), reflecting the staffing-support-heavy portfolio anchored by Commerce work and nascent defense-prime teaming on advanced-technology and weapons-system programs. Across the SCI dataset, Trident self-performed the vast majority of labor with minimal sub-engagement, deployed roughly 130–155 FTEs annually on federal service contracts, and maintained flat-to-modest invoicing growth from FY2022 through FY2025 ($16.7 million to $19.1 million), suggesting mature staffing-support operations with recent defense-contract wins not yet flowing material SCI-reportable invoicing. The vendor competes across SDVOSB set-asides, total-small-business vehicles, and full-and-open federal civilian procurements, with emerging defense subcontractor traction through Northrop Grumman and Amentum.
