Allied Systems Company

Allied Systems Company, doing business as Allied Systems Co., a veteran-owned Subchapter S corporation and manufacturer of maritime equipment based in Sherwood, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering specialized davits, cranes, winches, hydraulic systems, and repair services to federal maritime agencies. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements on an unrestricted basis, though it holds set-aside designations as a veteran-owned small business and leverages those designations selectively; recent awards split between total small business set-asides and non-set-aside full-and-open competitions.

Allied Systems' federal footprint is dominated by naval and Coast Guard maritime equipment procurement and engineering support. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 80 percent of recent activity: the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (441 awards, $32.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (254 awards, $16.7 million), the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (139 awards, $3 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (94 awards, $36.4 million), and the Department of the Navy (58 awards, $115 thousand). By dollar value, however, the distribution shifts—the Naval Air Warfare Center anchors the portfolio with 26 awards carrying $136.3 million in combined potential value, largely driven by two large delivery orders: a $8.077 billion ACSC (Crash Crane and Support Container) production contract awarded November 2023 with completion through November 2025, and a $12.76 million ACSC Year One production order from November 2022. The Coast Guard ranks third in dollars despite leading in award volume, reflecting the smaller per-order values typical of spare-parts and repair work flowing through that channel.

Allied Systems operates as a prime on 98 percent of awards and a subcontractor on roughly 2 percent. On prime contracts, the company manufactures and delivers equipment directly; named subcontractors include Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc., Crowley Government Services Inc., Marine Hydraulics International LLC, Metro Machine Corp., and Atlantic Diving Supply Inc., to which Allied Systems supplies davit components, crane repair labor, and technical representative services for amphibious transport dock vessels (LPD-class ships) and hospital ships. Representative work spans crane parts for USS San Antonio, USS New York, USS Arlington, and USS Mesa Verde; davit systems for USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort hospital ships; and knuckleboom crane assemblies and repair kits for Coast Guard cutters including CGC Polar Star and CGC Waesche. A $731,452 Naval Sea Systems Command task order from January 2026 covered engineering and technical services to design and develop Mark II conversion and structural inspection procedures for knuckleboom cranes. Multiple seal replacement parts kits and hydraulic components for Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime range from $12 thousand to $159 thousand per order. On the Coast Guard dual-point davit overhaul IDC (a $4 million single-award contract through January 2028), Allied Systems issued a $736,193 FY2023 inspection and repair delivery order.

Three primary parent vehicles dominate Allied Systems' placement: the Naval Air Warfare Center indefinite delivery contract N6833519D0135 (26 task orders, $60.8 million combined potential value) anchors all ACSC crash-crane production; the Coast Guard dual-point davit IDC HSCG4009D50024 (6 task orders, $5.5 million); and the Naval Sea Systems Command engineering and technical services IDC N6449823D4001 ($27.934 million ceiling through February 2028, with three task orders issued to date totaling $778 thousand). These vehicles enable recurring task-order flow for equipment manufacturing, inspection, repair, and engineering support across multiple Navy and Coast Guard programs.

Activity has grown from 31 awards in 2022 to 64 in 2025, then moderated to 17 awards year-to-date in 2026 (as of mid-July). Twenty-two awards carrying $4.4 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure primarily in Coast Guard davit repair and Defense Logistics Agency seal-kit sustainment work.

Service Contract Inventory data cover only two records (both prime) across FY2023–FY2024, reflecting SCI's focus on service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and its exclusion of goods and manufacturing work that dominates Allied Systems' portfolio. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $736 thousand ($95 thousand in FY2023, $642 thousand in FY2024), with a workforce trajectory of 0.3 FTEs in FY2023 and 1.1 FTEs in FY2024. The contractor reported median government-paid hourly rates around $219.79/hr across those SCI-reportable service contracts, with a range from $181.74/hr (10th percentile) to $257.84/hr (90th percentile). These figures represent a narrow slice of Allied Systems' federal footprint—the bulk of the company's work is goods manufacturing and component supply, which SCI does not capture.
