Argonaut Enterprises VB LLC

Argonaut Enterprises VB LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, manufactures marine propulsion components and delivers related technical services to Navy, Coast Guard, and Defense Logistics Agency customers exclusively as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation and competes without set-aside preference across its prime footprint, though several awards carry Total Small Business designations.

Argonaut's capability portfolio centers on marine propeller design, manufacturing, and repair. Representative recent awards include a $157,330 Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order (July 2024) for propeller repair and modification services, a $73,724 NAVSUP order (April 2025) for Left Hand LCU 1600 Class propeller manufacture to military specifications (MIL-STD-2845, MIL-STD-2035, ISO 9000), and a $16,200 U.S. Coast Guard contract (January 2026) for shaft seal maintenance work on USCGC Paul Clark at Curtis Bay in Baltimore, Maryland. The company also provides 3D propeller scanning and reverse engineering support. Work is performed in Virginia Beach with place-of-performance flexibility to customer-designated Navy distribution locations and Coast Guard facilities.

Customer concentration is extreme and Navy-centric. Naval Supply Systems Command dominates both the dollar ranking and strategic importance, holding 17 awards valued at $7.1 million combined potential value (89% of the vendor's total known federal footprint). Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is the second-largest customer by award count (27 awards) but anchors only $596 thousand, reflecting small per-order values. The U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Military Sealift Command round out the active set at $76 thousand, $47 thousand, and $169 thousand respectively. All five customers are within the Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security; no civilian agency exposure is present. The PSC code alignment (45 awards in Ship and Boat Propulsion Components) confirms single-capability focus.

Activity has been sparse and episodic. Over the last five years, the company received two awards in 2020, three in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — averaging fewer than two awards per year. Combined potential value across all 53 awards documented in the source is $8 million, with $7.9 million obligated. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards); no subcontractor activity is reported in the source. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal presence: one SCI record in FY2024 as a named subcontractor with zero prime SCI-reportable contracts, indicating that Argonaut's federal work is predominantly goods manufacturing and small-dollar technical services below the SCI reporting threshold rather than staffed labor services to the federal government.
