Syntek Technologies

Syntek Technologies is an award-winning American technical services and evaluation company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. According to its official website, the firm brings together premier support services and decision tools used to solve problems and provide guidance to clients throughout the Federal government and industry, with capabilities centered on highly technical and complex support delivered by its professional staff. Its client base includes government agencies involved in defense, transportation, energy, education, and data and statistics, and its evaluation work is described as covering the entire evaluation landscape, sensitive to how policies and programs work in the real world and attentive to both intended and unintended consequences. The company operates from three locations that support its employees and customers. Its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia is proximate to the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), DARPA, the Fleet Readiness/Force Analysis community, and Navy customers, and from there it also provides services to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia. A Philadelphia location supports the Navy's Ship Systems Engineering Station, including its full power test sites, while a Severna Park, Maryland location is home to many staff who served at the now-closed Annapolis Navy R&D lab and the Naval Sea Systems Command. A Fairfax, Virginia office is also listed. Syntek Technologies took its current corporate form through a merger. Effective January 1, 2016, three companies — Fulcrum, Icarus, and Syntek — were merged under the Syntek Technologies corporate name, a step intended to let the companies work together to deliver innovative, high-quality services to existing customers and to position the combined business to serve new customers with greater functional capacity. The merged company stated it would continue to uphold the same values of honesty, integrity, and delivering exceptional technical results. Before that merger, the business had been part of BMT Group, an international engineering, maritime, and risk management consultancy. BMT Group announced the sale of BMT Syntek Technologies Inc to Fulcrum Corporation, an award-winning woman-owned small business (WOSB) based in Arlington, Virginia that provides customized services and solutions to organizations within the Department of Defense, the Department of Transportation, and various private sector companies. BMT Group's board viewed the sale as beneficial for staff because the company's traditional market had become increasingly squeezed and restricted to small business set-aside contracts; as part of BMT Group, BMT Syntek Technologies had been classed as a large business and was therefore unable to propose for such contracts, whereas ownership by Fulcrum would once again make it an eligible small business and help the sustainability of the business going forward. BMT Group Chief Executive Peter French commented on the acquisition. Combining with Fulcrum Corporation was also expected to give the company greater critical mass. Today Syntek Technologies presents itself as a federal contractor and consultancy whose contract vehicles, services, and capabilities span technical support, evaluation, and decision tools. Its website highlights awards, careers, evaluation expertise, news, and the contract vehicles it uses to serve government clients.

Syntek Technologies' documented corporate history centers on its ownership and merger transitions. The business was previously known as BMT Syntek Technologies Inc and operated as part of BMT Group, described as a leading international engineering, maritime and risk management consultancy. As part of BMT Group, the company was classed as a large business, which meant it could not propose for small business set-aside contracts — a significant constraint as its traditional market became increasingly squeezed and restricted to such contracts. BMT Group announced the sale of BMT Syntek Technologies Inc to Fulcrum Corporation. Fulcrum Corporation is described as an award-winning woman-owned small business (WOSB) based in Arlington, Virginia, providing customized services and solutions to organizations within the Department of Defense, the Department of Transportation, and various private sector companies. The BMT Group Board believed the sale to be a beneficial move for the staff of BMT Syntek Technologies, because ownership by Fulcrum would once again make the business an eligible small business and would help the sustainability of the business going forward. The Board also noted that combining with Fulcrum Corporation would give the company a greater critical mass. BMT Group Chief Executive Peter French commented on the transaction, expressing confidence in Fulcrum Corporation's acquisition of BMT Syntek Technologies, Inc. A further consolidation followed. Effective January 1, 2016, three companies — Fulcrum, Icarus and Syntek — were merged under the Syntek Technologies corporate name. According to the company's own history page, the merger was intended to facilitate the companies working together to deliver innovative, high-quality services to current customers and to position the business to serve new customers in an even stronger functional capacity. The company stated that it would continue to uphold the same values of honesty, integrity, and delivering exceptional technical results. In its current form, Syntek Technologies presents itself as an award-winning business headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, bringing together premier support services and decision tools used to solve problems and provide guidance to clients throughout the Federal government and industry.
