About Sintela Inc.
Sintela Inc., a foreign-owned Houston-based manufacturer of distributed optical fiber sensing equipment and detection systems, operates as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) supplying specialized sensors, laser interrogators, and maintenance logistics support to federal border security, defense, and research agencies. The company is classified as a small disadvantaged business and competes across full-and-open and total small business set-aside procurement channels; it is a subsidiary of Sintela LIMITED, a foreign-owned parent company.
Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection accounts for six awards valued at $286.3 million in combined potential value — 98% of all recent dollars — anchored by a $200 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for Linear Ground Detection System Contractor Maintenance Logistics Support awarded September 28, 2024, and running through September 27, 2029. Three delivery orders under this IDIQ total approximately $39.95 million in combined ceiling values: a $36.3 million delivery order for LGDS maintenance logistics support effective February 26, 2026, through February 25, 2029; a $29.9 million no-cost modification accepted March 5, 2026, for continued CMLS services through September 25, 2028; and a $2.1 million modification for LGDS CMLS through September 27, 2026. Secondary customers — the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Defense Logistics Agency — aggregate to roughly $6.2 million across nine awards, representing 2% of potential value. The FAA has awarded two single-source proprietary-equipment contracts to Sintela for ONYX PETA Sensing Units ($175.3 thousand each, November 2024 and July 2025) in support of CBP's LGDS program.
The Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center holds a five-year $3.1 million total small business set-aside IDIQ for fiber optic laser interrogators, awarded July 26, 2024, covering up to four interrogators annually for distributed acoustic sensing applications. Sintela has placed two delivery orders under this vehicle: $612 thousand for four laser interrogators (November 25, 2025, completion February 17, 2026) and $480 thousand for three laser interrogators (July 26, 2024, completion September 30, 2024). A separate $640 thousand definitive contract from ERDC (September 2021) procured a linear-system laser interrogator capable of interrogating dual sensing fibers up to 100 kilometers with 5-meter localization precision, delivered to Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Activity accelerated sharply between 2020 and 2024 (two awards to seven awards annually) before moderating to four awards in 2025 and one in early 2026. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.1 million, representing modest recompete exposure. Across both roles, Sintela's capability portfolio concentrates on rack-mountable, fiber-optic laser interrogators; ONYX PETA sensing units; and distributed acoustic sensing systems for border security perimeter monitoring, infrastructure surveillance, and research-grade sensing applications. Top NAICS categories align with manufacturing: Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing (five awards), Electrical Contractors and Wiring Installation (five awards), and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (three awards). The company operates primarily as a prime contractor but maintains subcontract positions supplying ONYX PETA Sensing Units to Atlantic Diving Supply Inc. on two awards (August 2024 and October 2024), indicating a subcontracting channel through defense-adjacent primes.
Service Contract Inventory reports $4.7 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue across FY2022–FY2023 (FY2024 shows zero), delivered across 10.0 FTEs in FY2022 and 7.6 FTEs in FY2023, declining to zero SCI-reportable staff by FY2024 — a profile consistent with a products-and-equipment vendor with episodic, project-based service delivery rather than standing managed-services engagement. Median government-paid rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran $128.75 per hour, with no measurable subcontractor labor engagement. The vendor performed zero subcontracting hours across SCI-reportable primes, indicating in-house delivery on service contracts.
