Bestek Industries Inc.

Bestek Industries Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in San Antonio, Texas, delivers hydraulic pumps, aircraft maintenance equipment, and specialized ground-support hardware to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across 1,407 recent federal awards carrying $45.1 million in combined potential value. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with recent activity concentrated in DLA's Construction and Equipment and Land and Maritime divisions.

Bestek's capability footprint centers on manufacturing industrial and commercial pumps—particularly hydraulic ram pumps, hand pumps, and related hydraulic components—alongside aircraft maintenance equipment, towbars, jacks, ladders, coupling assemblies, and specialized hardware used across military depots and logistics operations. Representative recent work includes a $197.73 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order (January 2025) for 234 hydraulic hand pumps to DLA Construction and Equipment; a $168.6 thousand full-and-open order (September 2025) for 200 additional hydraulic hand pumps to the same division; a $90.2 thousand total small business set-aside for 82 aircraft boarding ladders to DLA Construction and Equipment (September 2023); and recurring delivery orders under a $2.67 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime for hydraulic ram pumps and vent assemblies (awarded June 2025, running through June 2030). A $61.52 thousand delivery order under the hydraulic ram pump IDC was issued November 2025, and another for $49.60 thousand in January 2026, demonstrating steady order velocity against that vehicle.

Customer concentration runs heavily to DLA. The top five funding agencies account for 97% of recent awards by count and potential value. DLA Land and Maritime leads by dollar magnitude with 513 awards and $26.4 million combined potential value, while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment dominates by volume with 703 awards and $15 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command appears as a smaller secondary customer with 27 awards worth $1.9 million combined potential value. Top NAICS categories reflect the vendor's manufacturing focus: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (753 awards), Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing (255 awards), and Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing (134 awards). Top PSCs align similarly: Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment (762 awards) and Power and Hand Pumps (479 awards).

Bestek holds five named parent indefinite delivery contracts, all single-award vehicles with DLA. The most recent is the $2.67 million hydraulic ram pump IDC (SPE7MX20D0036 successor, awarded June 2025, total small business set-aside, through June 2030). Four additional IDCs carry $250,000 ceilings each: a pintle hooks contract (SPE7MX16D0025, awarded May 2025, no set-aside, through May 2026); a coupling halves contract (SPM7MX11D0104, awarded April 2025, total small business set-aside, through April 2026); a second coupling halves vehicle from May 2024 (total small business set-aside, completed May 2025); and a pintle hooks contract from May 2024 (no set-aside, completed May 2025). Historical IDCs named in delivery orders include SPM76006D7038 (55 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value) and SPE8E920D0003 (29 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), indicating a sustained history of DLA indefinite delivery relationships. Award activity has trended flat to declining over the past five years: 89 awards in 2022, 85 in 2023, 81 in 2024, 71 in 2025, and 23 awards year-to-date in 2026 (representing a partial year). Sixteen awards carrying $228 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure.

Bestek operates as a 100% prime contractor across recent activity with no recorded subcontract work in the source portfolio. The company competes across both total small business set-asides (roughly 40–50% of awards) and unrestricted full-and-open procurements, demonstrating competitive standing in both postures. All work is performed at Bestek's San Antonio, Texas facility with delivery to DLA depots across the continental United States and overseas locations. The vendor has maintained continuous DLA relationships since 2002 and has been awarded indefinite delivery contracts consistently across multiple product categories, positioning it as an established supplier within DLA's supply chain for critical hydraulic and ground-support equipment supporting military readiness and logistics operations worldwide.
