American Scaffold LLC

American Scaffold LLC American Scaffold Division, doing business as American Scaffold, operates as a subcontractor (66% of recent awards) and occasional prime (34%) providing scaffolding rental, erection, dismantling, and containment services to the U.S. Navy and, to a lesser extent, the Army and Coast Guard on ship maintenance, repair, and modernization projects. A for-profit limited liability company headquartered in San Diego, California, and a subsidiary of parent company Imia, LLC, American Scaffold competes without set-aside designation on firm fixed-price purchase orders and task orders, predominantly in the Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing NAICS (498 awards) and Ship Building and Repairing NAICS (996 awards), with the vast majority of its work flowing through Navy vessels homeported on the coasts or undergoing depot-level maintenance.

American Scaffold's customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 1,325 of 1,541 total awards (86% of award count) and $62.3 million of the $62.6 million combined potential value — a 99% concentration by dollar. The Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) places 147 awards, and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command accounts for 15 awards at $163 thousand. This concentration is not incidental; the vendor's entire operating model is built around Navy ship repair. Prime awards from Naval Sea Systems Command include a $64,386.91 firm fixed-price purchase order for scaffolding services at Kings Bay Base, Georgia (March 2026), an $8,003.80 purchase order to erect and dismantle scaffolding on USS Carter Hall (LSD-50) at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Virginia Beach, in support of Afterdeck Rolling Airframe Missile launcher maintenance (June 2026), and a $3,600 rental order for Sector San Diego (August 2026, completed September 2026). Subcontractor work includes scaffolding support on USS Green Bay (LPD 20), USS Somerset (LPD 25), USS Mobile (LCS 26), USS Ramage (DDG 61), and USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) under BAE Systems Maritime Solutions, Marine Hydraulics International, Vigor Marine, National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, Delphinus Engineering, and other ship repair and modernization primes, with work spanning docking selected restricted availabilities (DSRA), selected restricted availabilities (SRA), planned incremental availabilities (PIA), depot modernization periods, and emergency maintenance.

American Scaffold places task orders under five named Navy indefinite delivery contracts: IDC N5523616D0001 (312 task orders, $6.3 million combined potential value), IDC N0002418D4325 (83 task orders), IDC N0002416D4416 (65 task orders), SWRMC Commercial Industrial Services 2012-2013 (60 task orders, $406 thousand combined potential value), and Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships — San Diego (41 task orders). Award activity peaked in 2023 and 2024 with 370 and 386 awards respectively; activity has sharply contracted to 234 awards in 2025 and 16 awards in 2026, signaling either a seasonal trend in the most recent year or a recompete cliff or vehicle transition. The combined potential value of $62.6 million sits against combined obligated dollars of $70.6 million (113%), indicating that American Scaffold's actual cash draw has exceeded published ceiling values, consistent with heavily used ship-repair scaffolding task orders that add change orders and option items.

American Scaffold operates as a subcontractor in 66% of awards and as a prime in 34%, with the Navy as the dominant customer in both roles. Named prime subcontractors receiving American Scaffold's scaffolding labor include BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (San Diego and Jacksonville variants), Marine Hydraulics International, Vigor Marine, Delphinus Engineering, National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, General Dynamics Information Technology, RQ Construction, Serco, Amentum Services, and Metro Machine, among others. Service Contract Inventory captures only one SCI-reportable record across the fiscal-year range shown (FY2025), a subcontract position representing 0.1 FTEs, reflecting American Scaffold's position in a goods-and-labor-intensive scaffolding-rental and equipment-lease business that falls below or outside the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold on most individual task orders or is classified as goods rather than services. American Scaffold's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: temporary access structures, fall protection systems, containment staging, and rigging support for naval surface combatants and amphibious vessels during planned and unplanned maintenance events, with no diversification into IT, engineering, or non-Navy customer bases visible in the source award history.
