Senstar Inc.

Senstar Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of Magal Security Systems headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, delivers perimeter security infrastructure and intrusion detection systems to federal correctional facilities, military installations, and civilian agencies primarily as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and other indefinite delivery vehicles. Senstar competes in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation on the majority of awards, though a material minority of recent orders carry small business set-aside tags despite the vendor's foreign-ownership status.

Senstar's federal portfolio concentrates heavily on perimeter fence and intrusion detection system replacement, maintenance, and support for the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, which accounts for the plurality of its named customer relationships. The top five customer facilities by award count and combined potential value span Federal Correctional Complex Butner (15 awards, $487 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City (7 awards, $414 thousand), United States Penitentiary Hazleton (8 awards, $396 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Englewood (6 awards, $395 thousand), and Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield (9 awards, $385 thousand). Beyond corrections, Senstar holds active relationships with the Department of Homeland Security Secret Service ($439 thousand across five orders), the Department of Defense Air Education and Training Command (multiple Ultrawave transmitter and sensor system awards and parts shipments), and Army Southern Command (a $86 thousand maintenance plan for fence alarm systems at Key West, Florida, with option years running through September 2027). The vendor also services the Navy Installations Command, Navy Strategic Systems Programs (16 awards, $205 thousand), and Air Mobility Command. Senstar's work ranges from small emergency repairs and warranty support (sub-$15 thousand orders) to substantial system replacements and installations running $150 thousand to $220 thousand.

Senstar holds a $475 thousand GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (47QSWA20D001P) that serves as its primary vehicle; 49 task orders under MAS carry $4.1 million in combined potential value. The company also appears on several indefinite delivery contracts with the Navy (N0003020D0001, N0061287C0166) and an Army indefinite delivery vehicle (F1965091D0002), though task order volume under those vehicles is light. Senstar's NAICS footprint centers on Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (200 awards) and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (58 awards), with secondary concentration in Security Systems Services and Fencing component manufacturing. Concrete capability work includes replacement of fence perimeter detection systems with Senstar Ultrawave microwave sensors, FiberPatrol fiber optic systems, Flexzone processors, and RANS (Radiotelephone Alarm Notification System) equipment; one-year care and warranty programs covering parts, training, and technical support; and on-site training and system commissioning. Representative prime awards include a $220 thousand firm fixed-price system replacement at Federal Correctional Institution Englewood (August 2023), a $182 thousand perimeter detection system for FCI McKean (June 2025), a $184 thousand OMNITRAX sensor system delivery to Air Education and Training Command set aside for small business (March 2024), and a $198 thousand perimeter fence project at Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield running through September 2028 (October 2025).

Senstar operates as a subcontractor on defense and infrastructure modernization work under General Dynamics Mission Systems Inc., which has engaged the vendor for FY24 and FY22 maintenance, training, and sustainment services as well as spare parts procurement. Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations LLC engaged Senstar for support during Integrated Security Assessment Team (ISAT) activities for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in September 2025. Activity has remained modest and stable—six to nineteen awards per year over the past five years, with 15 awards in 2025 and six in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 399 recent awards totals $13.4 million, with $14.1 million obligated. Only three awards (combined potential value $111 thousand) carry completion dates in the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete pressure.
