Air Marine Systems, Inc.

Air Marine Systems, Inc. operates as a prime contractor supplying electronic and mechanical components directly to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal defense customers, competing on a full-and-open basis across a highly fragmented purchase-order footprint with no subcontract involvement or parent vehicles. The Virginia Beach-based for-profit corporation holds no SBA set-aside certifications and participates in Total Small Business set-asides on a minority basis (roughly 10% of awards carry small business designations).

Air Marine Systems' federal footprint centers entirely on Defense Logistics Agency divisions, which account for 91% of its 1,531 awards across the source data window. DLA Land and Maritime dominates by volume (790 awards, $3.1 million combined potential value) and dollar value, followed by DLA Aviation (482 awards, $1.4 million), with Naval Supply Systems Command, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and DLA Troop Support Hardware rounding out the active customer set. The vendor holds a single indefinite delivery contract—a $250,000 IDC for thermal heaters with DLA Land and Maritime issued on September 25, 2020—but the vast majority of its awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders for discrete electronic components and mechanical parts. Representative work includes a $64,400 bathymetric depth element for DLA Land and Maritime under Total Small Business set-aside (Feb 2025), a $31,980 magnetic contactor order (Feb 2026), a $27,300 circuit breaker box procurement (Jun 2024), and routine sub-$5,000 orders for resistors, switches, capacitors, connectors, cable assemblies, relays, transformers, and specialized light fixtures. The vendor also supplies mechanical and structural items including pumps, motors, bearings, fasteners, and marine windows.

Activity has remained stable over the five-year window in the source data, averaging 81 awards per year (96 in 2022, 82 in 2023, 109 in 2024, 92 in 2025, 26 year-to-date in 2026). The combined potential value across all awards stands at $5.6 million, with $6.2 million obligated to date—a signal of close contract execution against forecast. NAICS concentration is diffuse: the top five NAICS codes account for roughly one-third of awards, led by Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (274 awards) and Capacitor, Resistor, Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing (109 awards). PSC-level concentration is similarly distributed across switches, cable assemblies, connectors, power distribution equipment, and relays—a profile consistent with transactional component replenishment across military platforms.

The vendor operates without subcontractors and executes all performance at its Virginia Beach facility. SAM.gov registration dates to April 2002, confirming two decades of continuous federal contracting presence. The business model is straightforward: serve as a direct supplier to DLA's multiple operating divisions through discrete, firm fixed-price purchase orders for electronic and mechanical components, with no parent contract vehicles, no team arrangements, and no pursuit of set-aside categories beyond the occasional Total Small Business award. Competitive posture is full-and-open; no indication of 8(a) certification, HUBZone status, or other SBA designations appears in the source material.
