Skylotec North America LP

Skylotec North America LP, doing business as Skylotec USA LLC, manufactures and services Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) maritime interdiction equipment and boarding systems for the Department of Defense, primarily as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside and full-and-open procurement vehicles. Skylotec is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, a for-profit limited liability partnership headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, that competes predominantly without set-aside designation (no set-asides across all named awards) but qualifies and has received total-small-business set-aside awards alongside firm fixed-price full-and-open buys.

Skylotec's customer concentration is tightly focused on Naval Special Warfare and special operations. United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) anchors the portfolio with five awards valued at $5.6 million in combined potential value, including a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity services contract with a $3.46 million ceiling running through May 2030 for VBSS boarding kit maintenance and services. Naval Special Warfare Command and the broader Department of the Navy combined account for six awards (84% of all awards) worth approximately $2.5 million in combined potential value. An Air Force purchase order for Skylotec ship boarding equipment ($128 thousand, August 2025) and a single subcontract with the Army complete the remainder. The portfolio carries minimal customer diversification — five distinct federal agencies across thirteen awards — and is entirely maritime-special-operations focused.

Skylotec holds a multi-year IDIQ vehicle with SOCOM (contract H9224025DE007, five one-year ordering periods through May 2030) under which six task orders valued at $2.5 million have been issued by Naval Special Warfare Command and the Navy since May 2025. Representative prime work includes a $2.32 million delivery order for VBSS parts (May 2026, Naval Special Warfare Command), a $885 thousand SOCOM boarding kit purchase order (September 2023), and a $442 thousand Skylotec boarding system complete delivery to SOCOM (August 2023). Place of performance spans Aurora, Colorado; Virginia Beach, Virginia; and San Diego, California.

Activity accelerated recently — one award in 2020, three in 2023, then six in 2025 and three in 2026 — with the SOCOM IDIQ established in May 2025 driving ordering velocity. The vendor subcontracts minimally; one named sub award appears in the source, an H-60 power ascender materials sub under a Defense Systems and Solutions prime (Army contract W58RGZ-18-D-0001, Prototype Integration Facility at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama). Top NAICS classification centers on commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (10 awards); top PSC is miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (9 awards). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $8.2 million, with $4.8 million obligated as of the snapshot date.
