Uts Systems LLC

Uts Systems LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of expeditionary shelter systems, tents, utility support units, and power distribution equipment, operates as a prime contractor on approximately 81 percent of its federal awards, competing predominantly on full-and-open, non-set-aside basis alongside selective set-aside awards reserved for small business participation. Headquartered in Fairfield, Virginia, with manufacturing and distribution operations in Okaloosa Island, Florida, Uts Systems is a small business under primary NAICS 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills) and PSC Tents and Tarpaulins, deriving the vast majority of its award footprint—148 of 212 tracked prime awards—from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division.

Uts Systems manufactures and supplies modular shelter systems, tactical tents, utility support units, power distribution panels, integrated lighting systems, and water purification assemblies to support military operations, disaster response, and humanitarian missions. Representative prime awards include a $200 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (February 2024–February 2028) for tents, shelters, and utility support units with active delivery orders ranging from $22,000 to $3.9 million; a $52.6 million single-award IDV with U.S. Air Force Materiel Command (November 2022–October 2032) for Energy Efficient Small Shelter Systems designated as a total small business set-aside; a $475,000 GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (April 2025–April 2030) covering pre-engineered buildings, HVAC systems, power distribution equipment, and modular shelter configurations; and recurring delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division for tents, utility support units, and expeditionary equipment. Recent activity shows a $773,846.90 DLA utility support unit order (April 2026), a $7.25 million Air Force energy efficient shelter delivery order (July 2025), and a $1.47 million DLA tent order (May 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme. The top two funding agencies—DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (148 awards, $534.6 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense (2 awards, $8.28 billion combined potential value)—account for nearly 100 percent of combined potential value across the entire portfolio. The $8.28 billion Army award signals a massive platform or indefinite-quantity vehicle, likely anchoring Uts Systems' long-term revenue trajectory; however, that concentration sits on only two tracked awards, whereas the DLA Clothing and Textiles relationship drives 59 percent of the award count at significantly smaller individual order values. The Air Force Materiel Command (6 awards, $69.4 million) represents the third-largest customer by potential value.

Uts Systems holds three named IDVs as prime: the $200 million DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles multiple-award contract (86 task orders, $80.6 million combined potential value against the contract SPE1C120D1210 parent vehicle), the $52.6 million Air Force Materiel Command single-award Energy Efficient Small Shelter Systems contract, and the $475,000 GSA Federal Supply Schedule. The DLA IDV drives the volume; delivery orders under it typically range from $30,000 to $3.9 million with three- to nine-month performance periods. A second DLA parent vehicle (SPE1C124D0014) carries 62 task orders valued at $54.3 million, suggesting a companion or regional shelter contract. Uts Systems also participates in the Special Operations Equipment – Tailored Logistics Support vehicle (41 task orders), indicating presence in the special operations procurement ecosystem.

Award activity peaked in 2024 with 80 awards; 2025 and 2026 show 29 and 15 awards respectively, suggesting either seasonal reporting or potential slowdown. Eight awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $14.5 million, representing a modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall footprint.

Uts Systems operates as a subcontractor primarily to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (48 sub-awards, majority issued 2023–2025) for shelter systems, power distribution units, HVAC equipment, and integrated bed-down solutions. Notable teaming relationships also include Lockheed Martin Corporation (site support and bare-base shelter modifications under a standing Army contract) and Mantech Advanced Systems International (tent systems for advanced logistics). The Atlantic Diving Supply relationship is the dominant sub position and suggests Uts Systems serves as a component or equipment supplier within larger integrated base-camp and operational-support contracts.

The vendor maintains three named subsidiaries—Uts Systems WB, LLC; Uts Ohio, LLC; and Uts Virginia, LLC—establishing operational or administrative presence across multiple states. The corporate structure positions Uts Systems for regional distribution, state-specific contracting, or supply-chain localization but does not indicate separate capability lines or specialized business units.

Uts Systems competes on non-set-aside full-and-open basis for the majority of its DLA delivery orders and air-base purchase orders, but selectively pursues small business set-asides (visible on Air Force Special Operations Command awards, Tennessee National Guard lighting contracts, and the Air Force Materiel Command Energy Efficient Shelter Systems IDV). The firm's scale—252 total awards tracked, including 48 sub-awards, combined potential value $8.89 billion—reflects deep market penetration in military expeditionary shelter procurement and established logistics relationships across Air Force, Army, and Defense Logistics Agency customer sets.
