Technical Management

What Technical Management does

Technical Management, INC (TMI) is a privately held U.S. professional services firm founded in 1968 (some sources cite 1960) that provides capture strategy, proposal development, program execution support, expert staffing, and mentoring services to aerospace and defense organizations pursuing federal contracts. The firm operates a bench of 70+ senior subject matter experts, each averaging 25+ years of real-world A&D experience drawn from organizations including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and the U.S. Department of Defense; 66% of the team holds master's degrees and 20% hold doctorates. Its core intellectual property is the proprietary "Positioning to Win™" capture and proposal methodology, refined across 500+ documented successful pursuits spanning missile defense, secure communications, radar and EO/IR sensor integration, and net-centric/electronic warfare programs.

TMI's offering is organized into five integrated service lines: Capture & Proposal Support (PDS), Process Development & Training, Program Execution Support, Expert Manpower Staffing under the "Just in Time Expertise" (JiTE) model, and Greybeard Mentoring & Training. The firm holds active security clearances and can sponsor consultants onto classified programs, with a documented case study of clearance activation in 4-5 working days. All TMI associates are insured under workers' compensation and general liability policies, and engagements are staffed client-side with TMI consultants executing under client direction.

The business model is direct, consultative enterprise sales to U.S. A&D primes (Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman) and second-tier defense suppliers. Pricing is quote-based, billed monthly or more frequently per client preference, with engagements structured as project work, surge support, or 1099 contract roles. The company remains family-influenced under post-2024 leadership — President Margaret Dudas, CFO Julianna Dudas, and COO Chuck Kaminski — following the death of founder Dan Dudas at age 91.
