Definitive Contract N6426726C7403

The Naval Strategic Systems Programs (NSSP) awarded a $239,691.13 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Qortek Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Linden, Pennsylvania, on January 5, 2026, with completion targeted for July 6, 2026. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and represents a discrete delivery order or task under Qortek's broader relationship with the Department of Defense. Qortek specializes in advanced power electronics, smart material devices, and high-density electronic components tailored for defense and aerospace applications, with particular expertise in undersea weapons and maritime defense systems. The company has established itself as a strategic supplier to the Naval Sea Systems Command through multiple indefinite delivery contracts valued at over $250 million combined, including major IDCs for undersea weapons development and DT-100 staves manufacturing—critical components used across U.S. Naval subsurface platforms.

This contract award reflects the Navy's continued confidence in Qortek's specialized manufacturing and engineering capabilities within the broader context of undersea warfare modernization and strategic deterrent system support. The relatively modest ceiling value of approximately $240,000 is consistent with Qortek's proven track record of executing task orders ranging from planning activities to substantial production efforts across multiple technical domains. As a qualifying small business entity, Qortek maintains compliance with federal contracting requirements and has demonstrated sustained prime contractor relationships with major defense organizations while also serving as a specialized component supplier to larger prime contractors including BAE Systems and Science Applications International Corporation. The contract performance location in Linden, Pennsylvania positions the work within Qortek's established manufacturing infrastructure supporting Naval strategic and undersea defense initiatives.
