Sterling Design

Sterling Design, a for-profit manufacturer and electronics repair company based in Chino Hills, California, provides precision repair and maintenance services for military electronic components and avionics systems to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open and total small business set-aside procurement vehicles.

Sterling Design competes almost entirely on small business set-asides and full-and-open contract vehicles with no participation in government-wide acquisition contracts or blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across defense repair and maintenance work. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2006 and holds a total small business designation across recurring awards. Over the past five years, activity has remained modest but consistent—three awards in 2021, five in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, and five in 2025—with 103 total prime awards carrying combined potential value of $13.3 million and $6 million obligated (45% of potential value).

The customer footprint is concentrated across four Air Force and Navy commands. The Air Force Sustainment Center leads by award count (30 awards, $2.7 million combined potential value), while the Ogden Air Logistics Complex dominates by dollars (12 awards, $4.9 million combined potential value). The Naval Supply Systems Command places 16 awards worth $3.5 million combined. The U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 22 awards worth $1.2 million. These top four customers represent 81% of recent awards and 94% of combined potential value. Sterling Design holds two primary IDCs: a $1.01 million total small business set-aside single-award IDC with Ogden Air Logistics Complex (awarded October 2025, running through September 2031) for A-10 gun camera repair, and a $62,250 single-award IDC with the Air Force Sustainment Center (through September 2027) for signal generator repair services supporting LANTIRN and MIDATS systems. Delivery orders against these vehicles are firm fixed-price, with repair work performed at Sterling Design's California facility.

The capability portfolio centers on precision repair and maintenance of electronic components and avionics. Representative work includes a $4 million delivery order from the Air Force's Ogden Air Logistics Complex (awarded December 2025, completion April 2026) for A-10 Thunderbolt II gun camera closed-circuit television system repair; a $1.71 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (June 2024) for display unit delivery; a $391,500 definitive contract from the U.S. Coast Guard (June 2025) for Rockwell Collins mixer stage and power supply repair to OEM specification; and a $307,323 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (January 2025) for SEPA display unit procurement. Work spans signal generator repair, circuit card assembly repair, display unit supply and repair, and electronic equipment restoration across A-10, B-52, and maritime platforms. Only two awards face recompete in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $46 thousand), reflecting a mature, stable book with longer-duration IDC vehicles.
