C-Tek Industries, Inc.

C-Tek Industries, Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American owned small business manufacturer based in Carson, California, manufactures metal hose assemblies and aircraft parts for the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), competing full-and-open on firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designations.

C-Tek's award footprint is concentrated almost entirely within a single customer and category. The Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division accounts for 171 of 176 total awards (97%) and $3.3 million in combined potential value across the recent award history. The four remaining awards come through the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, placing C-Tek under the NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for CMMARS vehicle; one additional award came from Naval Sea Systems Command. All 172 prime awards are metal hose assembly purchase orders under PSC Hose and Flexible Tubing (171 awards under NAICS All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), with ceiling values typically ranging from $1,300 to $50,000 per order. Representative recent work includes a $49,701 firm fixed-price order from DLA Land and Maritime for metal hose assembly NSN 8510729573 (awarded July 1, 2024, completed January 17, 2025); a $28,488 order for NSN 8510581481 (awarded April 18, 2024, completed October 15, 2024); and a $13,263 order for NSN 8511883325 (awarded January 26, 2026, completing July 27, 2026).

Activity has remained low but stable, with annual award counts ranging from four to seven across 2022–2025 and one award in 2026 to date. Combined dollars obligated ($3.6 million) slightly exceed combined potential value across the portfolio, indicating modest overruns on some orders. Only one award ($13 thousand combined potential value) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces recompete. In its subcontractor role, C-Tek manufactures aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment for Vertex Aerospace LLC on T-45 logistics and material-support task orders under CMMARS, supporting naval aircraft maintenance operations. The vendor's footprint is tightly bound to transactional, commodity-style procurement of precision metal components for military logistics, with no presence on large-value IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles beyond the four task orders under NAVAIR CMMARS.
