TST Tactical Defense Solutions, Inc.

TST Tactical Defense Solutions, Inc., doing business as TST Roofing, operates as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified prime contractor delivering roofing repair and replacement, general construction, and facility maintenance services to the Department of the Navy, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Army, and smaller volumes across other federal agencies. The Virginia Beach-based firm competes predominantly under set-aside categories — particularly Total Small Business, Competitive 8(a), and 8(a) Sole Source designations — and holds minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned certifications alongside its core SDVOSB and 8(a) status.

TST's capability portfolio centers on concrete facility infrastructure work: roofing system replacement and repair across diverse materials (PVC, EPDM, asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, transite panels); building envelope and structural repairs (gutter and downspout replacement, wall repairs, soffit and fascia work); mechanical systems upgrades (400 Hz electrical replacement, chiller and cooler installation, HVAC deficiency correction, steam line relocation); safety-critical work (fall hazard correction, roof access ladder upgrades, guardrail installation, stair safety code upgrades); and general construction including interior finishes modernization, window replacement, parking lot construction, and design-build/design-bid-build delivery. Representative work spans a $21.1 million Department of Veterans Affairs definitive contract for a rehabilitative medical unit construction at Hampton VA Medical Center (awarded July 2024, self-performed, completion June 2027); a $6.7 million Navy delivery order for roof and lightning protection installation at Hangar 200, Naval Air Station Oceana (July 2024); a $4.2 million Army Corps of Engineers definitive contract for powerline conversion to underground at Defense Supply Center Richmond (April 2026, set aside Total Small Business); and a $4.65 million Department of Veterans Affairs definitive contract for interior finishes modernization at Hampton VAMC (February 2024, set aside SDVOSB).

Customer concentration is stark: the Department of the Navy dominates, with Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchoring 24 awards at $308.1 million combined potential value and Navy Installations Command holding 67 awards at $49 million — together representing roughly 82% of recent award count and substantially all dollar value. The Department of Veterans Affairs comes third with 18 awards at $77.3 million, concentrated on Hampton VA Medical Center construction and facility modernization under SDVOSB set-asides. This customer concentration reflects TST's regional footprint (Hampton Roads, Virginia) and specialization in Navy shore facility sustainment. The top-customer rankings diverge markedly on dollars: Air Combat Command's $400 million JBLE/Seymour Johnson MACC (single 2025 award) and NAVFAC's $249 million 8A MACC DBB Hampton Roads IDIQ (single 2024 award) each dwarf any individual Navy Installations Command award, which typically run $200K–$4M per delivery order.

TST sits on five named parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008522D0082 (Navy Installations Command roofing and repair IDIQ) drives the highest task-order volume: 71 delivery orders valued at $35.6 million, covering routine gutter, roof, and building maintenance across Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Air Station Oceana, Dam Neck Annex, and subordinate facilities. The 8A MACC DBB Hampton Roads Area vehicle (NAVFAC-managed, competitive 8(a), $249 million ceiling through May 2028) issued 19 task orders at $22.3 million. TST also holds two single-award NAVFAC IDIQs: a $39.77 million Total Small Business roofing-specific IDIQ (September 2022 through September 2027) and a $4.5 million 8(a) Sole Source heavy civil engineering IDIQ (June 2023 through June 2028). A fourth vehicle is the Air Combat Command's Joint Base Langley-Eustis / Seymour Johnson Air Force Base MACC ($400 million, total small business set-aside, May 2025 through May 2031), which generated one $2,000 minimum-guarantee delivery order to date. These vehicles position TST as an established Navy roofing and general construction provider in Hampton Roads and as a new entrant to Air Force construction services.

Activity trajectory shows accelerating award velocity: 11 awards in 2022, climbing to 30 in 2023, 29 in 2024, and 43 in 2025, with 19 awards already recorded through September 2026. The combined potential value across all 158 prime and sub awards is $865.1 million, of which $166.8 million (19%) has been obligated to date. This reflects a backlog of delivery orders issued but not yet fully funded — typical of indefinite-quantity contracts. Within the next twenty-four months, 15 awards carrying combined potential value of $60.3 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete risk, including the $21.4 million Department of Veterans Affairs Prosthetics Facility construction at Hampton VAMC (August 2027), multiple smaller NAVFAC delivery orders, and SDVOSB set-aside work at VA Medical Centers in Richmond and Hampton.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing (a subset of TST's total federal work, covering contracts above $150,000 and excluding goods, products, and non-federal revenue) shows $31.5 million across FY2023–FY2025: $4.8 million in FY2023 across 4.1 FTEs, $11.7 million in FY2024 across 4.6 FTEs, and $15 million in FY2025 across 12.6 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from $131/hr at the 10th percentile to $551.95/hr median, with senior labor pricing exceeding $3,300/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of craft labor (roofing, mechanical) and project management. TST self-performed all SCI-reported labor with zero subcontractor hours recorded across prime contracts, signaling vertical integration and direct workforce deployment. This contrasts with typical construction firms; TST's posture suggests owner-operator presence and proprietary crew capacity rather than supply-chain reliance.

Subcontract footprint is minimal: three sub-award records appear, with roofing and curtainwall work performed as a subcontractor to RQ Construction on a Naval Station Norfolk building renovation (November 2025) and to Balfour Beatty Construction on the Joint Base Andrews consolidated communications center (March 2022). TST operates almost entirely as a prime (98% of awards), positioning it as a partner for higher-tier contractors seeking roofing and general construction subs for federal work rather than as a feeder supplier. The NAICS concentration underscores specialization: 88 of 158 awards carry Roofing Contractors (238210), with 47 assigned Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220); the PSC distribution mirrors this, with 77 awards under "Repair Or Alteration Of Miscellaneous Buildings" and 11 under "Repair Or Alteration Of Office Buildings."
