Astaroth Desarrollos SL

Astaroth Desarrollos SL, operating through its Astaroth Desarrollos S.l. Division, is a Spanish for-profit logistics and military support services contractor that provides stevedoring, port operations, subsistence supply, and custodial services to the U.S. Department of Defense and related agencies as a prime contractor. The company is foreign-owned, competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, and is based in Rota, Cádiz, Spain—the location of a critical U.S. Navy installation that anchors much of its customer base.

Astaroth's capability portfolio centers on three core service lines: stevedoring and material handling for U.S. Navy vessels visiting Spanish ports (loading, unloading, and terminal operations); subsistence supply of beverages and base commodities to defense customers in Spain and Europe; and custodial and facility maintenance services. Recent representative work includes a $789 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Commissary Agency for custodial services at the Rota Commissary through December 2030; a $250 thousand single-award BPA from Naval Supply Systems Command (July 2025 through June 2030) for stevedoring services with individual call orders ranging from roughly $2,800 to $11,900 per order; stevedoring BPA calls from the Chief of Naval Personnel and Naval Supply Systems Command totaling tens of thousands of dollars per call for loading and unloading operations supporting named ships (USS Roosevelt, USS Bulkeley, USS Arleigh Burke, and others); a $66,652 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for humanitarian support services aboard USNS YUMA; and multiple small subsistence supply BPA calls (under $6,000 each) from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence for beverages and cost-of-living allowance items.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense logistics and Navy operations. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command accounts for the largest dollar share ($2.6 million combined potential value across 19 awards, 41% of total portfolio value). The Defense Commissary Agency holds $1.3 million in two awards. The Chief of Naval Personnel and Naval Supply Systems Command together represent $1.1 million across 41 awards, though these consist largely of small-value stevedoring call orders against standing BPAs. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence carries 46 awards but only $90 thousand combined potential value, reflecting the subsistence-supply model of frequent small orders. The top five customers account for 93% of award count and 95% of combined potential value; customer concentration is pronounced and geographically constrained to European and Spanish operations.

Astaroth holds position on five primary parent vehicles. A Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence BPA (SPE30320A0005) has generated 44 task orders totaling $81 thousand. A Naval Supply Systems Command stevedoring BPA (N6817123A6000, the predecessor single-award agreement) was the source of 27 task orders worth $271 thousand. A Department of the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command indefinite delivery contract (HTC71117DR005) carries 17 task orders valued at $1 million. Two additional BPAs (N6817124A6001 and W52P1J14D0098) account for 16 task orders combined worth $472 thousand. These vehicles are the sole basis for Astaroth's federal procurement footprint; the company does not hold positions on governmentwide acquisition contracts such as GWAC, GSA Schedule, or broader IDIQs.

Award activity has declined sharply. The company received 15 awards in 2022, peaked at 22 in 2023, fell to 14 in 2024, and dropped to 6 in 2025. Only 2 awards have been placed in 2026 year-to-date. This downward trajectory, combined with the vendor's concentration on a limited set of small-value stevedoring and subsistence vehicles, suggests either recompete risk or reduced task-order placement against standing agreements. The source does not specify a recompete-cliff window, but the multiple $250 thousand single-award BPAs with ultimate completion dates in 2028, 2029, and 2030 represent the primary vehicles carrying renewal exposure.

Astaroth operates exclusively as a prime contractor; there are no subcontract awards in the source record. The vendor does not engage major subs; stevedoring and custodial services are performed directly by the company from its Rota location. This posture reflects the nature of its work—port-side operations and facility services requiring on-site presence—rather than a complex supply chain or teaming arrangement.

The vendor's federal footprint is geographically and operationally narrow. All work is performed in Spain, with customer relationships entirely dependent on the Rota naval installation and associated Department of Defense logistics nodes in the European region. The narrow scope, small-contract values (excluding the two larger custodial and humanitarian awards), and recent award decline indicate a specialized local contractor model rather than a scaling federal prime with diversified customer or geographic reach.
