Greeneville, TN, August 06, 2025 – Twenty-one years ago today, Navy veteran Tracy Solomon made a promise: “Do right by the Warfighter, the customer, and the community.” What started as a one-person operation in his basement guided by service values has grown into the world’s largest federal reseller of test and measurement equipment, all while never forgetting that foundational commitment.
Today, TEVET occupies 150,000 square feet of secure facilities, supports programs across every branch of the U.S. military, and maintains our proud status as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone Small Business. But the real measure of our success isn’t in square footage or revenue, it’s in the trust our customers place in us and the impact we’ve made in our community and beyond.
A Year of Recognition and Growth
2025 has been a landmark year for TEVET, marked by extraordinary recognition for our team’s dedication and our company’s mission-driven approach:
Major Awards and Honors
· SBA Tennessee Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year – Presented by SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler during National Small Business Week, recognizing our national impact and commitment to service
· HUBZone Trailblazer Community Impact Award – Honoring our founder Tracy Solomon for leadership in revitalizing underserved communities through business innovation and job creation
· BAE Systems Partner 2 Win Supplier of the Year – Selected from thousands of suppliers supporting critical defense programs, affirming our operational excellence and warfighter focus
Mission-Critical Achievements We achieved DoD-recognized CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance, reinforcing our commitment to cybersecurity excellence in defense contracting. We also proudly represented Tennessee at the F-35 Supplier Fly-In, meeting with Senator Blackburn, Representative Harshbarger, and Senator Hagerty to advocate for continued investment in America’s defense industrial base.
The Foundation of Our Success: Our People
None of this would be possible without the extraordinary individuals who make up Team TEVET. One-third of our workforce consists of veterans, reservists, and military spouses who bring firsthand understanding of mission stakes to everything we do. Their service mindset, technical expertise, and unwavering commitment to excellence are what enable us to deliver 97% on-time performance across more than 5,000 federal orders annually.
To every TEVET team member, thank you! Your ingenuity keeps critical programs moving forward, your dedication ensures warfighter readiness, and your character embodies the values that define who we are.
Grateful for Our Partners in Mission
Our success is inseparable from the relationships we’ve built:
To Our Customers – From major defense primes like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and BAE Systems to government agencies across the services, your trust allows a small business to simplify the biggest challenges. Thank you for believing in our capabilities and partnership approach.
To Our OEM and Distribution Partners – Our collaboration with companies like Keysight Technologies has enabled breakthrough innovations like our LIBERTY platform. Keysight and other partners play a critical role in delivering the speed, accuracy, and traceability that mission-critical programs demand.
To Our Greene County Community – What began as a local idea has become a national asset, but we’ve never forgotten our roots. Our $4 million investment in revitalizing a once-vacant 150,000 square foot facility has created technical careers in IT, engineering, and logistics right here at home. Through STEM outreach, veteran support, and over $1.2 million in charitable giving, we remain committed to paying forward the support this community has shown us.
Innovation That Serves the Mission
This year has seen continued advancement in our technological capabilities, from expanding our TEVET Marketplace integration to advancing our LIBERTY platform, the only software-defined instrument on the market designed for multi-channel, real-time electromagnetic warfare measurements. These aren’t just technological achievements; they’re mission enablers that help our customers stay ahead of evolving threats.
Our continued investment in innovation reflects a simple truth: when the stakes are mission-critical, continuous improvement isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Looking Forward: The Next Chapter
As we celebrate 21 years, we’re more energized than ever about the future. Electromagnetic spectrum threats continue to evolve. Supply chain resilience remains paramount. The need for trusted, agile partners in the defense industrial base has never been greater.
We’re ready for what’s next. Whether it’s supporting next-generation platforms, expanding our global partnerships, or continuing to innovate in test and measurement solutions, TEVET stands prepared to serve with the same dedication that has defined us for over two decades.
A Promise Kept, A Mission Continued
From that basement to today’s advanced facilities, from a single purchase order to thousands of mission-critical programs, the promise remains unchanged: Do right by the Warfighter, the customer, and the community.
This milestone belongs to everyone who has been part of the TEVET story, our team members past and present, our customers who trusted us with their most critical needs, our partners who collaborated with us to push boundaries, and our community that supported a local business with global aspirations.
Thank you for 21 incredible years of partnership, growth, and service.
As we look ahead to year 22 and beyond, we carry forward the same values that started this journey: integrity, excellence, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to those who defend our nation’s security and freedom.
