Universal Technical Resource Services Inc.

Universal Technical Resource Services Inc., doing business as Utrs Clean Water Technology, is a minority-owned small business based in Marlton, New Jersey, that provides advanced technical, engineering, scientific, and information technology services to federal defense and national security agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation with 797 total awards across 44 federal customer agencies, a combined potential value of $41.71 billion, and $528.3 million obligated to date. UTRS competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though it also holds positions on unrestricted vehicles including the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ and the Automatic Test Systems Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) contract.

UTRS's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Defense. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command dominates by potential value (49 awards, $1.48 billion combined), followed by GSA Federal Acquisition Service (172 awards, $321.8 million), Department of the Army Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal (15 awards, $95.6 million), the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command (4 awards, $86.2 million), and Naval Air Systems Command (53 awards, $6.5 million). The Navy ranks first by award count (294 awards) but lower by dollars, reflecting a high volume of smaller task orders and purchase orders. The top five customer organizations account for 79% of recent awards.

UTRS's capability portfolio centers on engineering support, automatic test systems, systems diagnostics, research and development, and technical program management for defense platforms and weapons systems. Representative prime work includes a $467.7 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract awarded January 28, 2026, by Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) to provide omnibus research and development, engineering, and support services for the Combat Capabilities Development Command Armament Center (DEVCOM AC) at Picatinny Arsenal—covering large-caliber cannon engineering support, weapons research technical support, system testing and diagnostics, and net-centric support through July 27, 2031. A $13.3 million delivery order from RDECOM (February 27, 2025, under the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services [RS3] IDIQ, firm fixed price through August 26, 2028) supports Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) management. An $82.6 million time-and-materials delivery order from Army Contracting Command Picatinny (February 28, 2024, under GSA's Multiple Award Schedule through February 27, 2029) procures advanced prototyping, testing, and diagnostics support research and development services. A $29.2 million definitive contract with Air Force Global Strike Command (March 31, 2022, through March 31, 2027) supports flight analysis and mishap-precursor detection using the Integrated Risk Information System. UTRS also holds a $68.6 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the National Nuclear Security Administration for Fourth Generation Escort Vehicle (EV4) design, development, and production through September 30, 2026, with a $2.8 million delivery order exercised in September 2022 for unarmored vehicle production.

UTRS holds prime positions on five major governmentwide and defense-focused vehicles. The OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (awarded December 19, 2024, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, ceiling of multi-billion-dollar unrestricted value, through December 18, 2029) provides integration across seven professional-services domains (management and advisory, technical and engineering, research and development, intelligence services, environmental services, facilities, and logistics). The OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ (awarded December 17, 2024, GSA, multi-billion-dollar ceiling, through December 16, 2029) covers the same domains without set-aside restrictions. The Automatic Test Systems Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) contract (awarded September 18, 2025, Air Force Materiel Command, $980 million, through September 18, 2035) supports full-lifecycle automatic test equipment for aircraft, armament, and commodity systems across the Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard, with large-business contractors required to maintain a minimum 20 percent small business subcontracting participation. The Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ (multiple awards through Army Contracting Command) is UTRS's primary vehicle for Army task orders, with an estimated 103 task orders identified across GS06K97BND0492 and related RS3 vehicles. A $21 million total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract was awarded September 15, 2025, by Tobyhanna Army Depot (Communications Electronics Command funding) for welding, electrical harness fabrication, cable assembly, and mechanical component fabrication through September 14, 2030.

Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years (6 awards in 2022, 3 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 7 in 2025, 3 through February 2026), suggesting a mature customer base rather than growth trajectory. However, eight awards carrying a combined potential value of $152.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting significant recompete exposure. The recompete cliff includes the ATSA-I initial task order (November 18, 2025, $1 thousand), Army technical support orders, and smaller Navy purchase orders.

On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory and reportable above the $150,000 threshold, UTRS recorded SCI-invoiced revenue of $13.8 million in FY2022 (32.9 FTEs), $16.5 million in FY2023 (24.5 FTEs), and $14.2 million in FY2024 (47.3 FTEs). SCI data reflects only a subset of the vendor's federal services activity and excludes goods, micro-purchases, classified work, and non-federal revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $116.74 per hour to a median of $211.77 per hour and a 90th percentile of $313.24 per hour, with senior operations research and systems engineering roles commanding the upper end of the spectrum. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, named subcontractors performed approximately 17 percent of total contractor hours; UTRS reported ten distinct subcontractors across its SCI prime contracts. UTRS operates predominantly as a self-performing prime rather than as a subcontractor (0 of 797 awards are sub awards), though it leans on subs for specialized labor on a minority of its prime work. On GSA Schedule, UTRS offers 160 active labor categories spanning from junior cloud-support roles at $36.05 per hour to senior operations research analyst positions at $330.06 per hour, with no security-cleared roles offered on the schedule.

UTRS maintains a named subsidiary, Utrs Advanced Manufacturing LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of goods, which aligns with the company's fabrication and welding capability demonstrated through its Tobyhanna depot contract and its Dual Spindle CNC Lathe purchase order with Picatinny Arsenal (September 17, 2021, $959.9 thousand, for small-caliber ammunition research and production).
