About the company
Sintela Inc., a foreign-owned, small disadvantaged manufacturer of distributed optical fiber sensing equipment, serves the federal government as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) supplying specialized sensing systems, laser interrogators, and maintenance logistics support on a full-and-open basis. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and operates as a child entity of the parent Sintela LIMITED.
Sintela's federal footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which accounts for six awards and $286.3 million in combined potential value — nearly 98% of the vendor's total federal opportunity across all agencies. The core CBP contract is a $200 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity vehicle (awarded September 2024, running through September 2029) for Linear Ground Detection System Contractor Maintenance Logistics Support, under which four delivery orders have been placed totaling $76.3 million in combined potential value. Representative CBP orders include a $36.3 million delivery order (February 2026) for LGDS maintenance logistics support, a $29.9 million no-cost direct exchange proposal (September 2025), a $7.97 million administrative modification (September 2024), and a $2.1 million contracting officer change (September 2025). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers ranks second, with four awards ($5 million combined potential value) primarily for fiber optic laser interrogators under a $3.1 million single-award IDIQ (total small business set-aside, awarded July 2024, running through July 2029). The Federal Aviation Administration holds four awards ($695 thousand combined potential value) for proprietary ONYX PETA sensing units supporting CBP's border security infrastructure, with two single-source definitive contracts for the same equipment model issued in November 2024 and July 2025.
Sintela holds a seat on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule, awarded July 2026, running through July 2031) with a $475 thousand ceiling covering fiber-optic laser interrogators, ONYX PETA sensing units, and distributed acoustic sensing systems for nationwide multi-agency access. Recent capability work includes an $89 thousand delivery order from CDC Pittsburgh (September 2026) for low power nano distributed acoustic sensing equipment under the MAS, a $612 thousand delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers (November 2025) for four laser interrogators, and a $480 thousand delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers (July 2024) for three laser interrogators. GSA Schedule labor offerings span eight categories at rates from $153.04 to $303.24 per hour — entry-level administrator and software engineer roles near the $153–$167 range, mid-level senior engineer and algorithm development roles at $200.67, and senior software engineer and program manager positions at $303.24 — with bachelor's degree minimums and no security-clearance roles listed.
Activity has been episodic but dollar-heavy: two awards in 2020, three in 2021, a seven-year gap, then seven awards in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026 to date. Two awards (combined potential value $30 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory data captures a narrow slice of Sintela's federal services activity — $4.7 million in invoiced revenue across three SCI-reportable prime records in FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $2.7 million across 10.0 FTEs; FY2023: $2 million across 7.6 FTEs; FY2024: $0) — with median government-paid rates around $128.75 per hour and zero subcontractor hours across those prime contracts. Sintela subcontracts minimally: two sub-awards under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (both in 2024) for ONYX PETA sensing units. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on distributed optical fiber sensing technologies, linear ground detection systems, laser interrogators, and maintenance logistics support for border security and defense sensing applications, with CBP's LGDS infrastructure as the primary mission anchor.
