STI Cems Services, LLC

STI Cems Services, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Waldron, Arkansas, supplies specialized industrial equipment and technical facilities services to federal defense and civilian agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides on a per-award basis without a parent IDV vehicle.

STI Cems Services is a sole proprietorship registered as a self-certified small disadvantaged business, DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise, and VOSB. The company operates across multiple industrial supply and technical services NAICS codes: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (11 awards), Industrial Gas Manufacturing (7 awards), and Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (5 awards). Its procurement footprint centers on hazard-detecting equipment (gas detectors and monitoring instruments), compressed and liquefied industrial gases (calibrating gas mix, sample test gas, propane), circuit breakers and electrical components, protective equipment (rescue dry suits, chemical gloves, industrial goggles, respirators), and technical facilities services. Recent representative work includes a $1.07 million definitive contract with the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (awarded April 1, 2024, running through March 31, 2029) for Title V emissions monitoring and boiler tuning services at the Heating Operation and Transmissions Division Central Heating Plant in Washington, DC; a $49.9 thousand definitive contract with the Office of Personnel Management (August 24, 2026) for two new NOx analyzers for the continuous emissions monitoring system at the Central Heating Plant in Washington, DC; and multiple sub-$100 thousand purchase orders from Defense Logistics Agency divisions for gas detectors, circuit breakers, and calibrating gas mix.

Defense Logistics Agency divisions dominate customer concentration by both award count and potential value: Land and Maritime accounts for 22 awards ($1.1 million combined potential value, 58% of all dollars), Aviation for 7 awards ($179 thousand), and Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 4 awards ($387 thousand). These three divisions together represent 92% of recent awards. However, GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region anchors 38% of total potential value ($1.1 million) through the single multi-year Title V emissions contract, creating a two-tier customer footprint — high-volume DLA component procurement and a strategic GSA facilities management engagement. Eight distinct federal agencies are represented across the 38-award portfolio: DLA (33 awards), GSA (2 awards), Office of Personnel Management (1 award), Department of Veterans Affairs (1 award), and others.

A single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime (awarded November 5, 2025, running through November 5, 2026) establishes a $350 thousand ceiling for circuit breaker procurement. This SDVOSB-set-aside IDC calls for 75 units of circuit breakers with an estimated eight purchase orders annually and a guaranteed minimum of 11 units under NAICS 335313, with 90-day delivery to DLA distribution depots nationwide.

Activity has grown sharply year over year — four awards in 2024, twenty in 2025, and fourteen in 2026 through late August. Recompete exposure is minimal in the near term: only one award ($50 thousand with OPM) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The GSA Title V emissions contract runs through March 2029, providing multi-year revenue visibility.

STI Cems operates entirely as a prime contractor across full-and-open and set-aside procurements, with no recorded subcontract work. Place of performance is based in Waldron, Arkansas, with delivery capability to federal facilities and distribution centers nationwide. The company registered in SAM in February 2014 and maintains current SBA certifications as SDVOSB and VOSB through September 2027.
