About the company
Systems Technology & Research, Inc. Huntsville Division, operating as Star, is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, that delivers engineering, technical support, systems integration, and research and development services to federal defense and civilian agencies as both a prime contractor (34% of recent awards) and subcontractor (66%), with deep positioning on large defense IDIQs and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Star is an SBA-certified woman-owned small business organized as a Subchapter S corporation; the source identifies Brockwell Technologies, Inc. as a subsidiary, also woman-owned small business designated.
Star's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army aviation and missile programs. The top five customer agencies account for 82% of recent awards by count: the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Office (PEO) Missiles and Space (16 awards), the Army Materiel Command's Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (15 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $16.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $4.98 billion combined potential value), and the Army Corps of Engineers (2 awards, $105 thousand). The dollar concentration diverges markedly from the award-count ranking: the Department of the Air Force leads by potential value ($46 billion on 2 awards), followed by Naval Sea Systems Command ($4.98 billion on 4 awards), driven by Star's recent seat on two major IDIQs. The Army programs anchor the recurring workload by count but represent a smaller dollar share due to the structure of multiple smaller task orders against the GSA Schedule and smaller IDICs.
Star holds seats on six significant parent vehicles. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries the highest task-order volume (31 task orders, $62.8 million combined potential value) and houses most of Star's Navy and Air Force work under the PEO Aviation $62.8 million delivery order for technical and engineering support to the Aviation and Missile Center, with performance through May 21, 2028, on a time-and-materials basis. Star received award on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ from the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025 (ceiling no dollar ceiling specified in the source, ten-year period through December 28, 2035), which covers research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization across classified and unclassified defense programs. Star also holds the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) fourth on-ramp from the Air Force, awarded March 13, 2025, with no dollar ceiling specified and performance through September 9, 2031; a $4 billion Seaport Next Generation (SeaPort-NXG) IDIQ from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2, 2025, ultimate completion January 1, 2029); a $982.1 million Unmanned Surface Vehicle Family of Systems (USV FoS) IDC from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 14, 2024, through April 30, 2029); and the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ from GSA (December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029) and OASIS+ Woman-Owned Small Business IDIQ from GSA (September 30, 2024, through September 29, 2029).
Star's activity accelerated sharply in 2024 and 2025 after minimal awards in 2022 and 2023. Recent awards jumped from 4 in 2022 and 1 in 2023 to 27 in 2024 and 12 in 2025. The recompete cliff shows one award (the $62.8 million PEO Aviation delivery order on the GSA Schedule) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing significant renewal exposure. On the SCI-reportable service contracts above $150 thousand, Star invoiced $8.2 million in FY2025 across 31.2 FTEs and 64,886 contractor hours, with government-paid hourly rates at $125.79 per hour, up from $122.69 per hour in FY2024. This invoiced revenue reflects only service contracts captured in the federal Service Contract Inventory and excludes goods, IDIQs work not yet task-ordered, and any classified or non-federal revenue. FTE deployment on SCI-reportable contracts has grown from 8.8 in FY2022 to 21.4 in FY2025, indicating scaling of federal service delivery.
Star operates predominantly as a subcontractor to larger defense primes. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, 67% of contractor hours are performed by subcontractors, and Star names 10 distinct subcontractors across those records. Star's own subcontract footprint is extensive: the vendor subcontracts primarily to Torch Technologies Inc. on Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) lifecycle engineering support and weapons development and integration work (15 named sub-awards from October 2022 through June 2026), with additional roles as a sub to Science Applications International Corporation on Army system software lifecycle engineering (DevSecOps and Agile modernization, June 2026), KBR Wyle Services LLC on Army PEO Missiles and Space program analysis (July 2025), and HII Mission Technologies Corp on Air Force persistent surveillance and force protection systems advancement (May 2025). The Torch relationship dominates Star's subcontract activity, spanning sensor design, guidance systems, simulation and modeling, hardware fabrication, and system integration for missile and fire-control applications with performance at both contractor and government facilities in CONUS and occasional OCONUS travel, with ITAR data-transfer obligations for Foreign Military Sales customers.
Star's GSA Schedule position (contract 47QRAA22D00BA, $16 million ceiling through June 15, 2027) carries 45 labor categories spanning Junior Admin Support at $61.17 per hour through Senior Subject Matter Expert at $333.57 per hour, with no security-cleared roles offered and education requirements ranging from high school through bachelor's degrees. Representative mid-range categories include Engineer II at $124.41 per hour (8 years experience, MA), Systems Engineer III at $138.48 per hour (15 years experience, BA), and Task Leader at $167.13 per hour (8 years experience, BA), positioning Star to support technical and program-management work across civilian and defense agencies without cleared-labor constraints.
Star competes across both full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles. The bulk of Star's recent prime positioning sits on woman-owned small business (WOSB) or total small business set-asides — the OASIS+ WOSB and OASIS+ Total Small Business IDIQs from GSA, the SeaPort-NXG and USV FoS multiple-award vehicles from Navy — with selective full-and-open awards on MAS and the Air Force EWAAC. Star's sub engagement pattern indicates the vendor functions as a mid-tier technical labor provider feeding larger prime integrators, particularly Torch Technologies, rather than as a prime-led systems integrator.
