Systems Technology, Inc.

Systems Technology, Inc., doing business as S T I, is a Hawthorne, California–based small business manufacturer that delivers advanced parachute and vehicle dynamics simulators, flight-test equipment, and aerospace engineering solutions to the Department of Defense, NASA, and civilian agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation with no reported SBA set-aside designations; it competes full-and-open across federal vehicles.

STI's capability footprint centers on the PARASIM parachute simulator family (emergency egress, static line, and military freefall variants priced $136,211–$210,529 per unit), the STISIM Drive vehicle dynamics simulator platform (desktop, console, and occupational-therapy configurations at $34,446–$70,871), and related lifecycle support, installation, and training. The company has branched into Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) R&D across urban air mobility certification, autonomous vehicle flight-test methodologies, and decision-making algorithm certification—work funded by NASA's Shared Services Center and the Naval Air Warfare Center. A $174,939 NOAA SBIR grant awarded August 2025 supports development of the Firefighter Integrated Reporting System and Transponder (FIRST), a mesh-network and mobile application for wildfire situational awareness and command-and-control in GPS-denied environments, in collaboration with Bolder Flight Systems Inc. Representative prime contracts include a $3.77 million SBIR Phase III delivery of 15 PARASIM systems to Air Mobility Command for SERE training at Fairchild Air Force Base, a $1.79 million Naval Air Warfare Center SBIR Phase II on advanced-air-mobility and urban-air-mobility flight dynamics, a $3.25 million Office of Naval Research SBIR Phase II on autonomous-systems research (CFDA 12.300) with an ultimate completion date of January 2029, and a $999,911 NASA SBIR Phase II on advanced-air-mobility certification means of compliance through June 2026.

Customer concentration is moderate and split between defense platforms and civilian R&D pipelines. The top five customer agencies by award count—the Department of the Air Force (98 awards, $2.2 million potential value), the Department of the Army (53 awards, $1.4 million), the Department of the Navy (37 awards, $57 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (35 awards, $10.7 million), and United States Special Operations Command (35 awards, $15.3 million)—cover 42% of all awards. By potential value, Naval Air Warfare Center (27 awards, $16.5 million) leads dollars, followed by USSOCOM (35 awards, $15.3 million), NASA (35 awards, $10.7 million), Office of Naval Research (7 awards, $7.9 million), and Air Mobility Command (9 awards, $4.6 million), representing 33% of total combined potential value. The Navy component (NAWC plus ONR) anchors most of the high-value R&D dollars, while USSOCOM and Air Force drive simulator-delivery volume.

STI holds two foundational vehicles: a $500,000 GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Federal Supply Schedule, issued December 2021, expiring December 2026) under which it has placed 253 task orders worth $32.3 million combined potential value, and a $5.28 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command for parachute-simulator lifecycle support through June 2030. The MAS vehicle carries the PARASIM and STISIM product catalogs and has supported delivery orders ranging from $4,990 (PARASIMS installation at Fort Worth, August 2025) to $994,776 (PARASIM 7.5 upgrades to Air Combat Command, September 2024). Task-order denominations are typically discrete simulator sales, upgrades, or preventive-maintenance calls, with delivery sites spanning Barksdale AFB, Edwards AFB, Mountain Home AFB, Misawa AB (Japan), and subordinate military installations.

Award activity has been flat to declining in recent years—13 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 1 through February 2026. Five awards (combined potential value $4 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and carry recompete exposure. STI's total federal award footprint spans 610 awards (all prime) with combined potential value of $164.3 million, of which $105.9 million (64%) has been obligated. The portfolio is heavily weighted toward training and simulation PSCs (Training Aids: 81 awards; Operation Training Devices: 60; Education/Training: 52) and R&D in physical and engineering sciences (59 awards under NAICS 541713), with secondary exposure to space R&D services (49 awards, PSC code R707).

SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold show zero invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 and zero FTE attribution, indicating that STI's federal service-contract activity (if any) falls below the SCI reporting floor, or the vendor's federal work is predominantly goods-focused (simulators, components) and capital-equipment deliveries rather than billable services. The vendor operates as a sole prime on nearly all awards with no material subcontractor footprint; sub-award data shows only two sub-awards (one to Asrc Federal on base-operations support at Vance AFB, September 2024, and one to the Research Foundation for SUNY on a bioinspired-autonomous-systems grant, November 2024), neither of which anchors material revenue or strategic teaming.
