Amp United LLC

Amp United LLC, a small business limited liability company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor on Navy and Coast Guard ship preservation and maintenance contracts, with the overwhelming majority of its recent federal activity routed through subcontracts to BAE Systems Maritime Solutions and other major defense primes. The vendor competes across full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles; roughly 83% of awards in the recent portfolio are subcontracts, while 17% are prime positions, reflecting a hybrid model that anchors its volume through sub work but maintains direct contract vehicles for core capabilities.

Amp United delivers ship preservation, repair, and maintenance services across the Navy's surface fleet and submarine force, with specialty expertise in interior decking removal, repair, installation and replacement; submarine preservation including hull repair, anode installation, and tile work; surface preparation and abrasive blasting; industrial and marine coatings and painting; and flight deck renewal and preservation testing. Representative prime work includes a $7.243 million delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for Virginia-class submarine preservation services at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard through September 2026; a $114.021 million multiple-award IDIQ awarded March 2026 for production support labor across maritime trades (electrician, insulator, pipefitter, painter, rigger, shipwright, welder, and others) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, designated as total small business set-aside; and an $88.1 million multiple-award IDIQ for Los Angeles, Virginia, and Ohio-class submarine preservation and repair through March 2030. Smaller direct awards include a $3.055 million definitive contract for submarine preservation and repair in Silverdale, Washington, and a $125 thousand purchase order from Naval Air Systems Command for abrasive blasting and painting of twelve Jet-Blast Deflector panels at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest in San Diego.

Customer concentration is nearly absolute: NAVSEA accounts for 359 of 365 awards and $916 million of the $919.6 million combined potential value, with the U.S. Coast Guard holding two awards worth $3.5 million (exterior and interior deck preservation for West Coast and Hawaii-homeported cutters through September 2026 and September 2029). This concentration reflects Amp United's positioning as a dedicated naval maintenance provider rather than a diversified defense contractor.

Amp United holds four primary parent vehicles: the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships contracts for San Diego (20 task orders) and Norfolk (7 task orders); Indefinite Delivery Contract N5523617D0005 (19 task orders, $652 thousand combined potential value); and N5523622D0001 (14 task orders, $473 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's sub engagement is extensive and consistent: across the recent portfolio, BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego and BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk are the dominant primes, accounting for the bulk of named subcontract awards dated 2024 through mid-2026 in support of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) availabilities, docking selected restricted availabilities (DSRA), and damage maintenance availabilities (DMA) on destroyers, dock landing ships, littoral combat ships, and amphibious assault ships. Additional prime relationships include National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (expeditionary sea base hull construction), Metro Machine Corp (aircraft carrier maintenance), Prism Maritime Inc. (air and missile defense system installation and surface preparation), Marine Hydraulics International LLC (signal shelter and gun mount preservation work), and Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc. (littoral combat ship work).

Activity has grown steeply: seven awards in 2022, fifty-nine in 2023, ninety-eight in 2024, and one hundred sixty-four in 2025, with only three awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 as of the source snapshot (March 9, 2026). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only one award worth $7.2 million reaches ultimate completion in that window—indicating a stable backlog extending beyond mid-2027. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal prime-level invoicing above the $150,000 threshold (SCI captured two prime records in FY2022–FY2023 with zero reported invoicing), reflecting the vendor's sub-heavy portfolio structure; FTE data shows 15.1 delivered to the federal government in FY2022, declining to zero in FY2023 under SCI reporting thresholds, a pattern consistent with small task-order volumes and sub routing.
