Advex Corporation

Advex Corporation, doing business as Advex Corp, is a for-profit metal fabrication and precision machining manufacturer headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, and has been registered as a federal contractor since October 2001. The company specializes in the production of precision metal components, assemblies, and fabrication services for naval shipbuilding, maintenance programs, and aerospace research initiatives. As a small business manufacturer, Advex has established a strong track record as a trusted supplier to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and other federal agencies, leveraging its expertise in metal fabrication, machining, and specialized manufacturing to support critical defense and aerospace operations.

Through its prime federal contract awards, Advex Corporation has delivered a diverse portfolio of specialized metal components and assemblies to support naval operations and maintenance programs. Recent major prime contracts include a $2.33 million purchase order for radome parts and commercial hardware components such as radome clamps, captive screws, split clamps, upper bases, and transition bases for FBG antenna components at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport; a $1.65 million definitive contract for temporary condensate strainers used in ship refueling and system start-up operations; and multiple purchase orders for Universal Modular Mast (UMM) adapter block components, ranging from approximately $97,000 to $106,000 in value. Additional prime contract deliverables have included fairing bumpers, hydraulic adapters, box beam assemblies, upper base flared base group antenna components, trash compactor assemblies and door assemblies, and can retainer assemblies. These contracts have been awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command and the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces, with the majority designated as total small business set-asides, though some proceeded under full and open competition. Advex also serves as a subcontractor to major defense primes including Huntington Ingalls Inc., M.C. Dean Inc., Seacorp LLC, and others, providing metal manufacturing and fabrication services, expansion joints, duct assemblies, vent assemblies, coaming assemblies, door weldments, frame weldments, and specialized structural components for naval vessel construction and maintenance programs.

Advex Corporation maintains three active Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with federal agencies that provide flexible ordering mechanisms for specialized manufacturing services. The largest IDV is a $15 million multiple-award BPA with the Naval Sea Systems Command established in September 2021 for propulsor support hardware and related services through September 2026, which covers support hardware, materials, testing and inspection, fasteners, miscellaneous components for ship and boat propulsion systems, and handling fixtures and shipping materials. The company also holds a $6.99 million multiple-award mechanical fabrication BPA with NAVSEA established in June 2021 through June 2026, which procures trash compactor assemblies, antenna components, box beams, tie rods, and other specialized parts for naval vessels and aerospace programs, with delivery to the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division in Newport, Rhode Island. Additionally, Advex maintains a general and precision machining and fabrication services BPA with NASA Langley Research Center established in August 2021 through August 2026, which provides short-turnaround fabrication and machining services to support the agency's aeronautics research and development activities. These IDVs position Advex as a capable provider of specialized manufacturing capabilities to support ongoing naval shipbuilding, maintenance, and aerospace research requirements.
