APM Defense LLC

APM Defense LLC, a Black American-owned, minority-owned small business based in Ashburn, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (46% of recent awards) and subcontractor (54%) supplying specialized engine components, marine equipment, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) materials to the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. Structured as a self-certified small disadvantaged business limited liability company, APM Defense does not hold a government-wide acquisition contract vehicle and competes in full-and-open procurements without recurring small business set-aside designation — with the exception of a Total Small Business set-aside award from the U.S. Geological Survey that was subsequently cancelled.

APM Defense's prime work centers on engine electrical components and marine equipment. Representative awards include a $10.7 million single-award IDIQ from the Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) issued January 13, 2026, covering Electric Power Plant III components (engine starters and generators) for the Patriot missile system, running through January 2031 with two delivery orders already issued totaling $715.6 thousand; a $365.3 thousand delivery order from CECOM on February 23, 2026, for engine starters and generators (completion February 12, 2027); and a $350.3 thousand delivery order from CECOM on January 13, 2026, for electrical engine starters (completion November 12, 2026). A $78.3 thousand USGS purchase order for two boat packages with motors and trailers (issued February 23, 2026) was cancelled on March 4, 2026. A $23.6 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for 20 remanufactured Rolls-Royce engine starters for 154-foot WPC vessels (issued April 22, 2026, completion August 30, 2026) and a $1.3 thousand Defense agency purchase order for underwater lift bags (September 22, 2025) round out the prime footprint.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Army CECOM, which accounts for all $11.4 million in combined potential value across three prime awards. The Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the subcontractor footprint with seven sub-awards (no dollar value provided in source). The Coast Guard, USGS, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support each account for one prime award. APM Defense's top parent vehicles are an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0025323D5000) carrying seven task orders under Navy NAVSEA, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPRBL126D0004) from CECOM with two task orders totaling $716 thousand.

As a subcontractor, APM Defense supplies FMS materials and specialized equipment components to Amentum Services on Egyptian Navy cases and related Defense Logistics Agency programs, with seven sub-awards spanning February through November 2025 for items including force pullers, pressure-vacuum gages, steam turbine materials, electrical coils, air ducts, and gearbox seal kits. Activity has grown from six awards in 2025 to seven in 2026, with three awards (combined potential value $739 thousand) facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's capability portfolio is concentrated in engine electrical components (four awards, PSC 2920) and marine/small-craft procurement, with secondary exposure to FMS materials sourcing and logistics support.
