Navy Reserve

The Department of the Navy Reserve, a subordinate component of the Department of Defense, procures supplies, services, and equipment to support training, readiness, and operational capability for Navy Reserve personnel and units. The Navy Reserve contracts across a broad base of vendors for everything from logistics and facility support to IT systems and equipment maintenance, with awards spanning small local suppliers to large defense contractors.

The Navy Reserve has issued 48,353 federal contract awards cumulatively since 1965, with a combined potential value of $4.23 billion and $3.48 billion obligated to date (82% of potential value). Recent activity shows 1,531 awards in 2022, 2,165 in 2023, 1,880 in 2024, 1,540 in 2025, and 301 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recently recorded award dated 1 September 2026. The Navy Reserve has awarded contracts to 4,488 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio lifetime.

Contract competition is highly fragmented. The top five primes by award count account for 21 percent of recent awards and are led by Navy Exchange Service Command (732 awards, $60.1 million combined potential value), Varick 2 LLC (261 awards), Leidos, Inc. (214 awards), Caprice Electronics, Inc. (181 awards), and HPI Federal LLC (155 awards). When ranked by potential value over the last five years, the top five account for only 2 percent of combined potential value; Navy Exchange Service Command again leads at $60.1 million, followed by B9 Select Navy TRS LLC ($8.2 million), B.f. Saul Property Company ($6.3 million), Leidos ($4.8 million), and 1500 N Military LLC ($3.8 million). The pronounced gap between by-count and by-value concentration signals that the Navy Reserve transacts through many small-dollar awards scattered across hundreds of suppliers; the portfolio carries a long tail of one-off and low-value contracts.

The Navy Reserve's contracting posture is heavily oriented toward unrestricted competition. Ninety-four percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides (combining Total Small Business, 8(a) Sole Source, Competitive 8(a), HUBZone, and related designations) account for approximately 6 percent of awards. 8(a) sole-source awards comprise 914 awards (2% of the portfolio). All other set-aside categories—HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and Emerging Small Business—are present but each represent less than 1 percent of awards. This concentration in unrestricted competition and minimal set-aside activity reflects the Navy Reserve's broad-based supply and services procurement posture rather than targeted socioeconomic preference contracting.
