Advex Corporation, a small business metal fabrication manufacturer based in Hampton, Virginia, was awarded a $1.65 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) on March 17, 2025, for the production and delivery of temporary condensate strainers. The contract, designated N421584276B390, is set aside for total small business and carries a completion date of September 11, 2026, with performance to be executed in Portsmouth, Virginia. Temporary condensate strainers are filtration devices used during ship refueling and system start-up operations to ensure water cleanliness and system integrity prior to vessel deployment. This procurement originated from a Defense Logistics Agency Maritime market research initiative conducted at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, which identified Advex Corporation as the approved material source of supply.
This contract award reflects Advex Corporation's established expertise in precision metal manufacturing and machining services for naval applications. The company maintains multiple blanket purchase agreements with NAVSEA, including a $15 million propulsor support hardware BPA and a $6.99 million mechanical fabrication BPA, both active through mid-2026, demonstrating an ongoing partnership focused on naval shipbuilding and maintenance programs. As a registered federal contractor since 2001 with a track record of delivering specialized metal components and assemblies for government agencies, Advex Corporation continues to support NAVSEA's operational readiness requirements through this dedicated condensate strainer production contract.
