What TEAM does

TEAM Companies is a privately held workforce compliance provider headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, operating since 1991 under three wholly-owned subsidiaries (TEAM Professional Services, Inc.; TEAM Background, LLC; and TPS Alert, LLC) that were unified under the teamqualify.com brand in March 2024. The company delivers an integrated suite of employer-facing services: workplace drug and alcohol testing with access to a nationwide network of 20,000+ SAMHSA-certified collection sites (one source cites 25,000+), PBSA-accredited employment background screening, occupational health services including DOT physicals and respirator fit testing, supervisor reasonable suspicion training through the TEAM Learning Suite, and the proprietary Alert contractor compliance management platform that automates certification, license, and insurance expiration tracking. Its core technology is a cloud-based compliance management platform with electronic chain-of-custody documentation, online employer and contractor self-service portals, and HRIS/ATS integrations that flow screening orders and results into existing hiring workflows.

TEAM generates revenue through a mix of per-transaction fees (drug tests, background reports, clinic collections, occupational health exams) and recurring subscription revenue (Alert platform, TEAM Learning Suite, bundled enterprise packages), with custom quote-based annual pricing. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by an account management motion targeting safety-sensitive industries including staffing agencies, oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, transportation, utilities, healthcare, mining, and pharmaceuticals. Customer concentration is diversified across these verticals and across Fortune 500 enterprises and small businesses. The company has built a regulatory moat through PBSA, NDASA, and NAADATP accreditations, SOC 2 Type II certification, and HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and CCPA compliance postures, leveraging 25+ years of experience administering DOT 49 CFR Part 40 programs. TEAM is founder- and family-controlled with no disclosed external equity capital and approximately 51–100 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Quest Diagnostics: Quest Diagnostics is both a key lab partner and a broad incumbent providing employer drug testing, occupational health, and workforce screening services. As a top-three diagnostics provider, Quest can offer employer services directly that compete with TEAM's downstream testing arrangements.
• Concentra (Select Medical): Concentra operates the largest network of occupational health clinics in the US and competes with TEAM's occupational health and clinic services for DOT physicals, drug testing, and pre-employment exams, particularly for industrial and transportation clients.
• Labcorp (Laboratory Corporation of America): Labcorp operates one of the largest US clinical and occupational testing laboratory networks, providing drug testing and occupational health services that directly overlap TEAM's portfolio. Its scale and direct-to-employer offerings make it a structural competitor in TPAs.

Direct peers

• HireRight: HireRight is one of the largest global employment screening providers offering background checks, drug testing, and workforce compliance services. It directly competes with TEAM across drug testing, background screening, and integrated compliance offerings for enterprise clients.
• Sterling (Sterling Talent Solutions): Sterling is a major direct competitor in PBSA-accredited background screening with expanding drug testing and identity services. It targets the same enterprise and staffing-agency customer base as TEAM with comparable service bundles and HRIS/ATS integrations.
• DISA Global Solutions: DISA is a direct competitor in workplace drug and alcohol testing, background screening, and contractor compliance management serving safety-sensitive industries including transportation and oil and gas. The product portfolio closely mirrors TEAM's six-service stack.
• First Advantage: First Advantage is a global employment screening provider offering background checks, drug testing, and identity verification. It is a direct competitor across TEAM's enterprise staffing and compliance-driven verticals and competes for similar RFP opportunities at scale.
• ISNetworld (VelocityEHS): ISNetworld is the dominant contractor compliance management platform for owner-operators in oil and gas, construction, and utilities. It competes most directly with TEAM's Alert product and is recognized as a primary competitive alternative in the company's own vendor disclosures.
• Veriforce: Veriforce provides contractor qualification, training, and compliance verification services for industrial and energy clients. It is a direct Alert competitor for contractor self-service compliance documentation, safety verification, and qualification tracking.
• Checkr: Checkr is a tech-enabled background screening provider that competes directly with TEAM's background check and increasingly drug testing services. Its modern API and ATS integrations pressure TEAM on pricing and developer experience in staffing and gig-economy segments.
