Derint Enterprises

Derint Enterprises, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Houston, Texas, operates as a sole proprietorship providing closed-circuit television systems, security camera installation, and satellite communications services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes entirely within small-business set-aside categories across its 66-award footprint, with no subcontracting activity or full-and-open competition in the recent award record.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on turnkey CCTV system design, installation, and maintenance at military installations and federal facilities. Representative work includes a $284,628 purchase order from Customs and Border Protection awarded in September 2026 for cable and internet services at the Big Bends Sector facility in Marfa, Texas (completion September 2031); a $277,100 firm fixed-price contract from Air Combat Command for CCTV system installation and testing across multiple 49th Medical Group buildings at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico (awarded September 2024); a $177,600 contract from the Department of Defense for satellite television services supporting Japanese TV reception at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas (awarded May 2025); and a $124,000 order from Global Strike Command for digital camera system installation at four gates and the inspection bay at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming (awarded October 2023). NAICS concentration runs toward Security Systems Services (561621), with 15 awards, and Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (334290), with 13 awards; PSC codes cluster around Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems (22 awards) and installation labor.

Customer concentration is spread across 26 agencies but clusters within defense. The top five customers by award count account for 52 percent of awards: the Department of the Army (8 awards, $230 thousand combined potential value), Air Combat Command (8 awards, $547 thousand), the Coast Guard (7 awards, $301 thousand), the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (6 awards, $311 thousand), and the Air Force (5 awards, $169 thousand). By combined potential value, the top five account for 63 percent of dollars, with Customs and Border Protection ranking first by value ($651 thousand across 4 awards) followed by Air Combat Command ($547 thousand). This divergence reflects a few high-dollar CBP and DoD orders offsetting broader Army and Coast Guard frequency.

Activity has averaged five to nine awards annually over the past five years, with two awards logged in 2026 year-to-date (as of late September). The vendor's 66 awards total $3.2 million in combined potential value, with $2.9 million obligated (89 percent). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $95 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has worked continuously with federal agencies since at least 2013, with recurring work at Army installations in Texas, Air Force bases in New Mexico and Wyoming, and Coast Guard facilities nationwide, reflecting regional strength in the Southwest and consistent contract renewal on satellite services and camera upgrades.
