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 services to the Defense Logistics Agency and General Services Administration as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides and total small business restrictions. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and holds current SBA certifications as both a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and veteran-owned small business through September 2027, alongside DOT Certified DBE status and self-certified small disadvantaged business designation.

STI Cems Services' concrete capability portfolio spans hazard-detection instruments, compressed and liquefied gases, electrical switching equipment, protective apparel and safety gear, and facilities environmental compliance services. Representative prime work includes a $180 thousand SDVOSB set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (awarded April 2026) for 139 units of gas detectors; a $1.07 million total small business definitive contract with GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (exercised April 2024, extending through March 2029) for Title V emissions compliance monitoring and boiler tuning services at the Heating Operation and Transmissions Division Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant in Washington, DC; and a $263.6 thousand total small business purchase order from DLA Troop Support (February 2026) for dry chemical fire extinguishing agent. The vendor also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025, $350 thousand ceiling) for circuit breaker procurement through November 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to DLA's multiple divisions. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 19 awards valued at $1.1 million combined potential value, while DLA Aviation and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment together represent 9 awards worth $558 thousand. The GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region contract, though a single award, carries $1.1 million in combined potential value — the second-largest dollar commitment in the portfolio after the Land and Maritime group total. Together, these three customer entities cover 99% of combined potential value across 30 of 32 awards. The vendor's only sub-award exposure is zero; all 32 awards are prime contracts or IDVs.

Award activity has grown significantly: four awards in 2024, accelerating to twenty in 2025, then moderating to eight year-to-date in 2026. One award — the $350 thousand Land and Maritime IDC established in November 2025 — faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the primary recompete exposure and continuation risk for the vendor's DLA relationship. Work is performed in Waldron, Arkansas, with nationwide delivery to DLA distribution centers and federal facilities. The vendor competes across both set-aside categories (SDVOSB, total small business) and unrestricted procurements; recent awards split roughly 50/50 between designated set-asides and no-set-aside-used designations, signaling competitive credibility beyond its SDVOSB posture. Product Service Code concentration centers on hazard-detecting instruments (12 awards), circuit breakers (5), and compressed and liquefied gases (5), with NAICS distribution across search-detection-navigation instruments manufacturing, industrial gas manufacturing, and switchgear apparatus manufacturing.
