Star TEK Inc.

Star TEK Inc., a small business electronics supplier based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, sells precision radio frequency and electronic components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor through firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories.

Star TEK operates exclusively as a prime contractor — 100% of its 719 federal awards over the past several years have been prime contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles, with no subcontract activity. The company specializes in supplying specialized electronic and electrical components essential to military communication systems, radar equipment, and defense infrastructure: radio frequency switches, directional couplers, attenuators (fixed and variable), crystal oscillators, waveguide adapters, circuit card assemblies, connectors, power supplies, transformers, relays, and related components. Recent representative awards include a $35,700 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for radio frequency sensors (February 2026), a $41,580 Total Small Business purchase order for crystal waveguide mixers (August 2025), and a $25,004 Total Small Business purchase order for directional couplers (February 2025). Star TEK also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime (ceiling $250,000, through January 2026) designated for Total Small Business competition under which two delivery orders have been issued for circuit card assemblies.

Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 639 of 709 prime awards (89% of the portfolio) and $3.1 million of $3.5 million combined potential value. Three subordinate DLA commands — DLA Aviation (29 awards, $230 thousand), Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (13 awards, $105 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (9 awards, $24 thousand) — comprise the remainder. The vendor has worked with ten distinct agencies in total, though DLA dominates overwhelmingly.

Award volume has remained flat to slightly declining: 52 awards in 2022, declining to 44 in 2025 and 13 through April 2026. The portfolio is characterized by high velocity, low-dollar transactions: most individual purchase orders and delivery orders range from approximately $1,000 to $27,000, with a combined potential value of $3.5 million across all 719 awards. Combined dollars obligated exceed potential value by 25%, indicating many awards have been fully paid. Five awards with combined potential value of $51 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure.

The company's award footprint is dominated by PSC (product service code) categories reflecting its component-supply focus: Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (183 awards), Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments (142 awards), and Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware (138 awards). Top NAICS categories are Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing, and Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. Star TEK has maintained a vendor relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency continuously since January 2002, with registered SAM status and small business qualification supporting its participation in Total Small Business and unrestricted competitions.
