Solutions Through Innovative Technologies Inc.

Solutions Through Innovative Technologies Inc., doing business as Sentir Laboratories, is a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Fairborn, Ohio, that provides engineering, logistics, information technology, and management consulting services to defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) across full-and-open and total-small-business-set-aside vehicles. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation with a subsidiary, Kanary Alert Systems LLC, and has maintained federal contracting registration since 2003.

Solutions Through Innovative Technologies holds a portfolio of nine significant indefinite delivery vehicles that collectively represent approximately $4.8 trillion in ceiling value, anchoring its prime-contractor footprint across defense acquisition. Recent prime awards include a $1.96 million delivery order to the Aeronautical Systems Center (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) for laboratory support services (April 2026), a $23.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under Seaport-NXG to the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Joint Staff professional support services (July 2022, extending through February 2027), an $11.9 million Seaport-NXG delivery order to the Joint Staff for administrative support (August 2023, completing August 2028), and a $3.23 million delivery order to the Aeronautical Systems Center for Airmen Accommodation Laboratory and Testing Services (April 2024). The company also secured a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ position on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract (December 2025) and a $4 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force for Optimizing Scenario Development for Advanced Weapon Concepts (September 2025), reflecting capability across defense research and development, space operations, and sustainment.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Air Force. Of recent awards by count, the top five customer entities account for 49% of the portfolio: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (40 awards, $1.04 billion combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (36 awards, $115.1 million), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (22 awards, $25.8 million), the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (20 awards, $65.5 million), and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (12 awards, $46.7 million). By dollar value, the Department of the Air Force and its subordinate commands dominate: the parent Department of the Air Force accounts for $1.13 billion (9 awards), followed by the Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center ($499.7 million, 3 awards) and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($115.1 million, 36 awards). This skew toward Air Force customers reflects the company's positioning on large Air Force acquisition vehicles and sustained laboratory support, engineering, and test-and-evaluation work.

The vendor places the majority of its activity under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business (OASIS SB) vehicle, with 95 task orders valued at $587.7 million in combined potential value, followed by legacy Air Force indefinite delivery contracts: FA865010D6055 (43 task orders, $15.6 million), FA865015D4055 (18 task orders, $4.6 million), and FA860622D0002 (6 task orders, $13.1 million). Solutions Through Innovative Technologies also holds recent awards on the General Services Administration's OASIS+ Unrestricted (multiple-award, no set-aside, $999 billion placeholder ceiling, December 2024) and OASIS+ Total Small Business (multiple-award, total small business set-aside, $999 billion placeholder ceiling, December 2024) vehicles, expanding access to civilian and defense agency ordering beyond its historical Air Force concentration. A $2.5 billion Space and Missile Systems Center indefinite delivery contract (Hemisphere vehicle, November 2024) and a $46 billion Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (March 2023) round out the major vehicle positions. The $14 million Lab Support IDIQ with the Aeronautical Systems Center (March 2022, extending through February 2027) has generated five delivery orders totaling approximately $10.9 million for Airmen Accommodation Laboratory Services and related testing support at Wright-Patterson.

Activity has grown from ten awards in 2022 to a peak of 22 in 2024, with nine awards recorded in 2025 and one in early 2026. Five awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $32.4 million, presenting a recompete exposure window. The vendor's award portfolio spans 56 distinct customer agencies and carries a combined potential value of $61.91 billion across 266 total awards (prime and sub), though only $610.9 million is obligated — reflecting the IDIQ-heavy nature of the portfolio and the ceiling-versus-obligated gap typical of indefinite delivery vehicles. NAICS concentration centers on engineering services (111 awards), all other professional, scientific, and technical services (68 awards), and other computer-related services (23 awards), with PSC concentration in support professional-other (77 awards) and IT and telecommunications (31 awards).

Solutions Through Innovative Technologies operates as a subcontractor to larger defense primes, with 32 named sub awards (12% of the portfolio) routed through R&K Enterprise Solutions Inc. (Combat Air Force organization and training support), Nextstep Technology Inc. (National Guard and Air Force support), Advanced Technology Leaders Inc. (US Army Cyber Center transformation support), D3 Air and Space Operations Inc. (ISR and logistics support), Linquest Corporation (digital engineering R&D for Air Force Research Laboratory), and others. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor subcontracted approximately 28% of contractor hours on average, with 26 named subcontractors engaged. SCI-reported invoiced revenue from prime service contracts was $56.8 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($34.2 million in FY2022 across 314 FTEs, declining to $8 million in FY2024 across 34.1 FTEs), reflecting the decline in SCI-reportable services activity as the vendor shifted toward larger IDIQs and task-order vehicles. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $43.88/hr to a median of $68.39/hr and a 90th percentile of $165.09/hr, indicating a broad labor band from entry-level help-desk and IT support through senior consulting and engineering roles. The vendor's active GSA Schedule carries 157 unique labor categories priced at $41.49–$178.53/hr, spanning entry-level help desk coordination and IT support through senior information security consulting, with education requirements from associate through master's degree and no security-cleared labor categories listed.
