Sterilelink, Inc.

Sterilelink, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Asheboro, North Carolina, supplies preventative maintenance, repair, and replacement services for sterilization and decontamination equipment to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that competes across both small business set-asides (Total Small Business, roughly 40% of awards in the source portfolio) and full-and-open procurements, with no parent contract vehicles or IDIQs in its current footprint.

Sterilelink's capability portfolio centers on maintenance and repair of autoclaves, steam sterilizers, cage washers, rack washers, and related laboratory and medical decontamination equipment. Representative work includes a $739,700 definitive contract awarded by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in January 2024 for autoclave and cage washer maintenance, inspection, and repair services at the Beltsville Area Research Center through January 2029; a $273,250 Defense Health Agency purchase order for STERIS sterilizer and washer maintenance at Portsmouth, Virginia, effective through September 2028; a $137,880 Defense Health Agency contract for preventative maintenance and repair of government-owned STERIS sterilizers and washers at dental clinics at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, through May 2029; and a $96,122 NOAA purchase order for annual and quarterly inspection and preventative maintenance on Steelco autoclaves and a Sussman Automatic electric steam boiler at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina, awarded September 2026 with four optional renewal periods extending through September 2031.

Customer concentration across the top five agencies accounts for 71% of awards by count and 72% of combined potential value. The Defense Health Agency leads on dollars at $952 thousand across nine awards, while the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (12 awards, $622 thousand) and the Federal Correctional Complex Butner (12 awards, $480 thousand) dominate by award frequency. The Department of Agriculture's Northeast Area field-research operations anchors the largest single opportunity at $1.3 million across four awards, driven by the Beltsville maintenance contract. NOAA, the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 5, the FDA, and the Army Medical Command round out the active customer base. Awards span civilian research infrastructure (NIH, FDA, USDA), federal corrections (Bureau of Prisons), military medical facilities (Defense Health Agency), and maritime research (NOAA).

Activity has contracted materially in recent years — nine awards in 2022, eight each in 2023 and 2024, then two in 2025 and three in 2026 — reflecting a shift in award velocity rather than dollar concentration. Eight awards with combined potential value of $822 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across distributed customer accounts rather than concentration in a single vehicle or agency relationship.

SCI-reported invoicing captures only a partial slice of Sterilelink's federal services footprint — $252 thousand across four prime records spanning FY2022 through FY2025, with $112 thousand invoiced in FY2022 and $140 thousand in FY2024 against roughly 1.3 FTEs of total effort across those two years. The company operates with no named subcontractors across SCI-reportable contracts, delivering service directly. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates ran a median of approximately $145.92 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $219.58 per hour and entry-level work around $72.26 per hour. The low SCI count and sparse recent FTE reporting reflect Sterilelink's predominant reliance on equipment sales and small-dollar maintenance purchase orders that fall below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold, the vendor's actual revenue profile sits substantially above the SCI dataset.

Sterilelink sells and services sterilization and decontamination equipment to hospitals, universities, and government agencies across NC, SC, VA, and TN. All of our technicians are certified through the OEM and Sterilelink's own Sterilelink University.
