Sytek Automation LLC

Sytek Automation LLC, doing business as Sytek, a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business based in South Salt Lake, Utah, delivers preventative maintenance inspection, remedial maintenance, relocation, and disposal services for automated storage and retrieval systems to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), with specialized expertise in Lektriever rotary files, carousels, and vertical lift modules supporting aircraft and missile maintenance operations.

Sytek operates as a Subchapter S corporation competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on its parent indefinite delivery vehicle, though individual task orders frequently carry no set-aside designation. The vendor's work centers on maintenance and logistics support for material handling equipment at Hill Air Force Base, Utah—the Ogden Air Logistics Complex serving as both administrative customer and operational site. Recent representative awards include a $298,480 delivery order (June 2025) for preventative maintenance inspection, repair, and relocation/disposal of carousels and vertical lift modules under a $7 million IDC (FA822420D0005) running through December 2030; a $156,400 order (June 2025) for similar carousel and VLM services; and a $327,300 order (June 2026) for VLM preventative maintenance and inspection work, all issued by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex accounts for 164 awards (58% of total) and $20.2 million in combined potential value (93% of portfolio), with secondary customers—the Air Force Sustainment Center (33 awards, $486 thousand) and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (4 awards, $441 thousand)—together representing 12% of remaining value. This concentration reflects Sytek's sustained, specialized role at a single installation over decades.

Sytek holds a primary position on indefinite delivery contract FA822420D0005, a $7 million single-award small-business-set-aside vehicle awarded June 5, 2025 (effective date to December 4, 2030), which anchors 72 task orders. The vendor also executes work under legacy IDCs including FA820107D0006 (45 task orders, $1.2 million), FA822413D0011 (33 task orders, $885 thousand), and FA822417D0015 (33 task orders, $1.2 million), all issued by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex. The top five parent vehicles together account for 203 task orders.

Award activity has remained stable, ranging from 12 to 15 awards annually over the past five years, with 284 total awards on record spanning back to 1985. Combined potential value stands at $21.7 million, with $9 million obligated (41% realization). Nine awards carrying $532 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure.

Sytek executes the full scope of work in-house without major subcontractors. The vendor's NAICS and PSC footprint reflects deep specialization: 225 awards fall under NAICS 338310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), and 144 awards carry PSC code for maintenance/repair/rebuild of materials handling equipment. This narrow, concentrated, and stable posture—single installation, single customer family, specialized equipment class, decades-long tenure—defines Sytek's federal footprint as a niche incumbent rather than a multi-customer diversified competitor.
