Simtech, Inc.

Simtech, Inc., a small business based in East Granby, Connecticut, supplies military aircraft spare parts and components to the federal government as a prime contractor on a predominantly full-and-open basis, with secondary work as a subcontractor to defense primes. The company competes across both small-business-set-aside and unrestricted vehicles; recent awards show a 98% prime split, with 2% of activity routed through subcontracts to Rolls-Royce Corporation for engine sustainment and propulsion system work.

Simtech's customer concentration is extreme and Defense Logistics Agency-anchored. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation represents 140 of 232 tracked prime awards (60% of award count) and $36.6 million of $54.9 million in combined potential value (67% by dollar). DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support Hardware, and the Naval Supply Systems Command together account for most of the remaining dollars; the U.S. Coast Guard places 40 awards but with smaller unit values ($2.9 million combined). The top five customer agencies account for 96% of awards. DLA Aviation's dominance is not incidental—it is structural; the agency issues the vast majority of both volume and dollars.

Simtech's core capability is the procurement and supply of time-sensitive, high-reliability military aircraft spare parts. The vendor supplies valves (check valves, regulating valves, butterfly valves, flow control valves), servo cylinder parts kits, fluid filter elements, temperature sensors, motional transducers, aircraft mounting brackets, locks, pins, expansion plugs, seals, electronic control units, and hardware assemblies. Recent representative prime awards include a $2.38 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for air inlet controllers (November 2025), a $1.02 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for butterfly valves (June 2024), a $690,580 delivery order from DLA Aviation for servo cylinder parts kits (April 2026), and a $635,040 purchase order from DLA Aviation for regulating valves (February 2026). The company holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation: a $5 million multiple-award vehicle for servo cylinder parts kits (July 2024–July 2027), a $250,000 single-award vehicle for servo cylinder parts kits (July 2023–June 2026), a $1.73 million vehicle for fluid filter elements (April 2022–April 2025), and a $250,000 vehicle for servo cylinder parts kits (May 2025–May 2030). All Simtech-held IDCs are small-business set-aside vehicles; task orders against them split between set-aside and unrestricted designations.

Activity has been steady. Simtech recorded 22 prime awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 33 in 2024, 29 in 2025, and 10 year-to-date in 2026 (through April 16). Ten awards worth $5 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete window. The vendor's award footprint is concentrated in aircraft hydraulic and valve components; the top NAICS is Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (92 awards), followed by Industrial Valve Manufacturing (45 awards). Simtech does not hold government-wide contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, GSA Schedules). Work is performed at the company's East Granby, Connecticut facility.

Simtech has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and has maintained a continuous federal contracting presence with defense logistics and aviation customers for over two decades. The company's subcontracting role is narrow and specialized: four documented sub-awards to Rolls-Royce Corporation between January 2024 and June 2025 for T108 propulsion system sustainment, engine nacelle support, and quick-engine-change assembly logistics—all structured on a production-stock billing model where invoiced amounts may vary. This subcontracting footprint is negligible relative to the prime business and does not signal diversification away from DLA Aviation dependency.
