TST Tactical Defense Solutions, Inc.

TST Tactical Defense Solutions, Inc., doing business as TST Roofing, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified contractor based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that operates as a prime contractor on federal construction and facility maintenance contracts, delivering roofing, building envelope, mechanical systems, and heavy civil engineering services to the Department of the Navy, Department of Veterans Affairs, Air Force, and other federal agencies. The firm competes predominantly under set-aside vehicles (8(a) and SDVOSB) on its prime portfolio and holds four active indefinite delivery contracts valued at a combined $688.2 million, anchored by a $400 million Air Combat Command Multiple Award Construction Contract and a $249 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command Competitive 8(a) general construction contract for the Hampton Roads area.

TST operates across a concentrated, regionally anchored customer base anchored by the Department of the Navy. The top five agencies by award count cover 84% of the 150 total awards in the source, led by Navy Installations Command (68 awards, $53 million combined potential value) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (19 awards, $295.9 million combined potential value). By dollar concentration, Air Combat Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominate: Air Combat's $400 million JBLE MACC contract alone accounts for nearly half of the firm's $853.1 million combined potential value across all awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration accounts for 18 awards valued at $77.2 million, split between construction projects at Hampton VA Medical Center in Virginia (window replacement, roof and fascia work, parking lot construction, HVAC corrections, and interior finishes). The stark divergence between volume and dollars reflects the vendor's typical award pattern: numerous small Navy task orders (often $200K–$1M) bundled under standing roofing and general construction IDIQs, versus large indefinite delivery vehicles. Recent activity shows strong growth: awards increased from 11 in 2022 to 43 in 2025, with 20 awards worth $72.2 million facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months—a material recompete exposure.

TST's four primary IDIQs are: the $400 million Air Combat Command Multiple Award Construction Contract (JBLE MACC) for maintenance, repair, alteration, electrical, HVAC, demolition, paving, and waterfront work at Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (awarded May 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, expires May 2031); the $249 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command Competitive 8(a) Hampton Roads area general construction vehicle (awarded May 2024, expires May 2028, generating 18 task orders worth $20.3 million); the $39.8 million Naval Facilities Engineering Command Total Small Business roofing repair and replacement IDIQ (awarded September 2022, expires September 2027, generating 69 task orders from the parent vehicle N4008522D0082 worth $34.7 million); and the $4.5 million Navy Installations Command 8(a) Sole Source heavy and civil engineering contract for Norfolk-area naval installations (awarded September 2025, expires September 2030). TST's work is predominantly roofing-related: 86 of 150 awards fall under the NAICS Roofing Contractors classification, with 72 awards under PSC Repair or Alteration of Miscellaneous Buildings.

Representative concrete work includes: a $4.21 million Army Corps of Engineers definitive contract for conversion of overhead to underground powerlines at Defense Supply Center Richmond in North Chesterfield, Virginia (Total Small Business set-aside, completion May 2027); a $21.1 million Department of Veterans Affairs definitive contract for construction of a Rehabilitative Medical Unit at Hampton VA Medical Center (SDVOSB set-aside, completion June 2027); a $6.67 million Navy delivery order for roof replacement and lightning protection at Hangar 200, Naval Air Station Oceana (No Set-Aside Used, completion January 2026); a $12.8 million Department of Veterans Affairs window replacement contract across five buildings at Hampton VA Medical Center (SDVOSB set-aside, completion June 2026); and a $4.66 million Navy delivery order for 15kV circuit breaker replacement at a Newport, Rhode Island facility (No Set-Aside Used, completion September 2026). Across the Navy roofing portfolio, TST executes both single-task small orders (gutter cleaning, roof vent reinstallation, emergency repairs) and complex multi-building scopes (standing seam metal roof replacement, single-ply roof resurfacing, lightning protection system integration).

SCI-reported service contract invoicing reached $11.7 million in FY2024 on 4.6 FTEs, up from $4.8 million in FY2023 on 4.1 FTEs; no reportable invoicing appeared in FY2022. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $551.95/hr, with senior labor reaching into the $3,300/hr range and lower-skilled labor around $131/hr—a wide spread consistent with mixed labor categories (project management, skilled trades, laborers). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, TST self-performed 100% of contracted labor with zero subcontractor engagement, indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams rather than acting as a general contractor layering subs. The vendor operates as a prime on 98% of awards and as a subcontractor on only 2% (three sub-awards to date: roofing work under RQ Construction on a Naval Station Norfolk renovation, and roofing and curtainwall work under Balfour Beatty on a Joint Base Andrews communications center).

TST's set-aside footprint is strongly SDVOSB and 8(a) aligned across the prime portfolio, with most large IDIQs (the JBLE MACC, the NAVFAC Hampton Roads vehicle, the roofing IDIQ) designated Total Small Business or Competitive 8(a). Individual task orders issued under these vehicles frequently carry no secondary set-aside (marked "No Set-Aside Used"), allowing TST to compete full-and-open on ordering activity while the underlying vehicle preserves small-business reserved access. This structure has allowed the vendor to win both set-aside competition work (8(a) Sole Source, Competitive 8(a), SDVOSB) and open-market task orders under vehicles already designated for small business.
