Hitek Inc.

Hitek Inc., a Wichita, Kansas–based for-profit manufacturer and Subchapter S corporation, manufactures circuit card assemblies and specialized electronic components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive awards without set-aside designations. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and competes exclusively as a prime on single-award indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders; it has no subcontract work in its recent federal footprint.

Hitek's customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division accounts for 101 of 115 tracked awards (97% of awards) and $4.2 million of $4.3 million in combined potential value. A secondary role exists with DLA Aviation (6 awards, $131 thousand) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (1 award, $11,600 for artificial limbs, awarded August 2022). The $4.3 million combined potential value is modest relative to the award count because Hitek's individual delivery orders and purchase orders typically carry ceilings between $3,000 and $22,000. Over the past five years, activity has been uneven: 10 awards in 2022, declining to 5 in 2023, then stabilizing at 6 per year in 2024 and 2025.

Hitek holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: one awarded June 2025 (ceiling $250,000, completion June 2026), one awarded June 2024 (ceiling $250,000, completion June 2025), and one awarded June 2023 (ceiling $250,000, completion June 2024). All three carry National Stock Number 5998011010051 (circuit card assemblies), with estimated 12 delivery orders per contract annually and guaranteed minimum quantities ranging from 38 to 52 units. Representative delivery orders under these IDCs include a $21,031 order awarded May 21, 2026 (completion November 23, 2026), a $10,800 order awarded January 8, 2026 (completion July 13, 2026), a $14,450 order awarded March 28, 2024 (completion September 24, 2024), and a $22,440 purchase order awarded June 30, 2023 (completion December 27, 2023). Five additional parent IDCs appear in the top parent vehicles list (SPE7MX18D0089, SPE7M514D5013, SPE7MX16D0010, SPE7M516D5011, and SPM44106D0066), collectively spanning 43 task orders and $469 thousand in combined potential value, indicating Hitek also holds positions on other DLA supply-chain vehicles beyond the primary circuit card assembly IDCs.

Capability distribution is narrow: 86 awards (75% of the footprint) fall under Printed Circuit Assembly and Electronic Assembly Manufacturing (NAICS 334418), with 16 awards in power and specialty transformer manufacturing, 9 in motor and generator manufacturing, and 5 in motor vehicle electrical and electronic equipment. The electrical and electronic assemblies, boards, cards, and associated hardware PSC dominates at 86 awards. One outlier—the artificial limb purchase order with the Veterans Health Administration—suggests ancillary manufacturing capacity outside the core defense electronics mission, but represents negligible volume.

The recompete cliff shows only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $21 thousand), indicating most current work is tied to the three active June-dated IDCs that renew or expire at mid-2025 and mid-2026. Hitek's federal footprint is heavily dependent on DLA Land and Maritime's recurring circuit card assembly demand; competitive pressure from other electronics manufacturers and any shift in DLA's supply-chain sourcing strategy would materially affect workload.
