About the company
Caracal Enterprises, LLC Ventek International Division, doing business as Ventek International, manufactures and deploys automated fee collection machines and related software-as-a-service offerings to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Petaluma, California, structured as a limited liability partnership operating entirely on the prime side—all 202 awards in the source data are prime contracts with no subcontract footprint.
Ventek's capability portfolio centers on proprietary automated fee collection hardware (the M600 and related models), payment card processing systems compliant with PCI Data Security Standards, satellite and cellular connectivity integration, cloud-based data hosting, software licensing, and 24/7 technical support for federal recreation facilities. The machines dispense day-use and annual passes, process credit card transactions, integrate with existing infrastructure, and support revenue collection at campgrounds, day-use areas, and visitor facilities across the federal land management estate. Concrete examples include a $116,875 purchase order from the National Park Service Intermountain Region (August 2026) for 24/7 technical support and maintenance of 11 M600 kiosks at Rocky Mountain National Park with 30-minute response times for urgent issues; a $478,724 delivery order from the National Park Service Southeast Region (July 2023) for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Automated Fee Machines Phase 2 program under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $556,366 purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District (February 2022) for Ventek services across multiple USACE projects; and a $1.5 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Army Corps of Engineers Southwestern Division (April 2022) for automated fee machines and annual services at campgrounds and day-use areas in Oklahoma and Texas.
Customer concentration is pronounced and stable. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers dominates the portfolio at 74 awards valued at $7.3 million (42% of the combined potential value), followed by the National Park Service Intermountain Region (26 awards, $2 million), the National Park Service Southeast Region (15 awards, $1.5 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District (7 awards, $1.7 million). Together, these four customer entities account for 67% of all awards and 83% of combined potential value. Award concentration by dollar value mirrors concentration by volume—the Army Corps of Engineers and NPS Intermountain Region anchor the portfolio, with no material tension between the two rankings.
Ventek operates against two primary parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (49 task orders, $3.3 million combined potential value) and two single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers (an active IDIQ valued at $1.5 million through April 2027 for Southwestern Division automated fee collection services, and a second IDIQ valued at $650 thousand). The company also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville ($102,300 through September 2027) for IT services supporting Ventek machines. These vehicles enable rapid procurement by contracting officers without resolicitation.
Activity has decelerated year over year from a peak of 27 awards in 2022 to 9 awards in 2026, signaling either market saturation at existing federal installations or reduced procurement velocity. Within the next twenty-four months, 31 awards with combined potential value of $3.7 million reach ultimate completion, creating recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competitors. Ultimate completion dates on the principal $1.5 million IDIQ (April 2027) and the $102,300 BPA (September 2027) are proximate recompete decision points.
The vendor's footprint aligns tightly with top NAICS categories of Automatic Vending Machine Manufacturing, Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing, and Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, with the top PSC code being Vending and Coin Operated Machines (88 awards). This narrow capability specialization and concentrated customer base position Ventek as a niche incumbent in federal recreation fee collection. The vendor competes predominantly under full-and-open (no set-aside) procurement, though several awards (including the Rocky Mountain National Park and Great Smoky Mountains Phase 2 contracts) carry Total Small Business set-aside designations reflecting the vendor's SDB certification. Combined obligated dollars ($13.5 million) represent 77% of combined potential value, indicating mature, invoiced contracts rather than speculative pipeline.
