Alfa Laval Inc.

Alfa Laval Inc. Chesapeake - Service Operations Division, a foreign-owned Swedish manufacturer, supplies specialized maritime equipment including centrifugal purifiers, bowl assemblies, and separation systems to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard as a prime contractor operating entirely outside set-aside programs, with 98 percent of recent awards structured as prime contracts.

The division operates under a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Naval Supply Systems Command valued at $44.4 million through October 2, 2030, awarded October 2, 2025. This BOA represents the primary vehicle through which Alfa Laval streamlines delivery of proprietary naval components. Naval Supply Systems Command dominates Alfa Laval's customer concentration at 443 awards totaling $112.3 million combined potential value, representing 96 percent of all awards. Naval Sea Systems Command places the next material volume at 48 awards worth $2 million combined potential value, followed by the U.S. Coast Guard with 16 awards totaling $253 thousand. All customer concentration sits within Department of the Navy and Department of Homeland Security maritime operations.

Alfa Laval's federal footprint centers on original equipment manufacturer supply of centrifugal purifiers and bowl assemblies for shipboard separation and fluid handling systems. Recent prime delivery orders include a $1.48 million centrifugal purifier procurement from NAVSUP (April 22, 2025), a $976 thousand bowl assembly delivery order (February 6, 2025), a $1.34 million bowl assembly order (February 6, 2025), a $909 thousand centrifugal purifier order (March 21, 2025), and a $660 thousand centrifugal purifier order (January 21, 2026) — all issued under the existing or newly recompeted BOA framework. A $17 thousand purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard for 56 thermal intermediate plates (March 20, 2026) reflects the division's continuing position as a sole-source supplier of proprietary components. Additional representative work includes $2.23 million in centrifugal purifier procurements (November 29, 2023) and $743 thousand for a centrifugal purifier (August 22, 2023), both delivery orders under the prior BOA.

Parent vehicles named in the top five task-order vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts N0010406GA006 (134 task orders, $8.5 million combined potential value), N0010491GA014 (110 task orders), and N0010497GA012 (18 task orders), plus standing BOAs N0010411GA007 (75 task orders, $10.5 million combined potential value) and N0010420GNN01 (37 task orders, $16.9 million combined potential value). These vehicles facilitate streamlined procurement of repair, evaluation, and lifecycle support services for Alfa Laval's proprietary maritime equipment across Navy fleet operations.

Activity volume has remained steady, averaging roughly 17 awards per year over the past five calendar years, with 21 awards in 2025 and 5 awards recorded through mid-2026. Awards completing within the next twenty-four months total 19 with combined potential value of $8.3 million, representing a modest recompete window. The source data spans from 1991 through March 2026, with combined potential value across all 738 awards at $115 million and $78.5 million obligated (68 percent utilization).
