Auxiliary Systems Inc.

Auxiliary Systems Inc., a Norfolk, Virginia-based small business manufacturer and service provider, delivers ship maintenance, repair, and equipment reconditioning services to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard as a prime contractor across multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles and subordinate delivery orders. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and is a child entity of Elite Management Group, LLC, a woman-owned business; it competes across full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations, with set-asides characterizing roughly half of recent prime awards.

Auxiliary Systems Inc.'s federal footprint centers on naval vessel maintenance and repair. Core capabilities span motor rewinding, pump reconditioning, electrical system repairs, heat exchanger evaluation, AC/DC motor repair and fabrication, and hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) ship component work. Representative recent prime awards include a $635,381.86 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for USS KEARSARGE (LHD-3) maintenance under the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships - Norfolk IDIQ (August 2026); a $1,299,658.01 order for hull, mechanical, and electrical repairs to TSV-4 Narragansett under the Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical Repair and Maintenance - Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center IDIQ (May 2026); and a $2,846,702.21 delivery order for USS NORMANDY (CG-60) maintenance under the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance vehicle (September 2025). Smaller task orders span AC/DC motor repairs, pump overhauls, cooling system maintenance, and fan repairs across the Norfolk-homeported fleet.

Customer concentration is extreme. NAVSEA accounts for 757 awards (65% of all prime and sub awards) with a combined potential value of $2.8 billion—capturing the vast majority of the company's federal revenue. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard places 164 awards ($126.7 million), and the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command accounts for 62 awards ($428.3 million). These three customers account for 92% of award count and substantially all of combined potential value. Recent Coast Guard work includes small purchase orders for ventilation fan rebuilds (September 2026, $13,239) and fan repairs (November 2024, $5,461), both set-aside for small business.

Auxiliary Systems Inc. holds four significant indefinite-delivery vehicles. The Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships - Norfolk IDIQ, a multi-award vehicle with no set-aside, carries 57 task orders generating $26.1 million in combined potential value and covers discrete and non-discrete production support for repair and maintenance of surface combatants and amphibious vessels homeported in or visiting Norfolk. The Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical Repair and Maintenance - Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center IDIQ, a total small business set-aside awarded May 2025 with a $96.5 million ceiling, supports depot-level repairs and maintenance for U.S. Navy vessels within 50 miles of Norfolk or overseas, with recent task orders for HM&E repairs on TSV-4 Narragansett, USS Nitze, and YSV-5/TSV-5. The East Coast General Ship Repair IDIQ, a $140 million total small business set-aside with the Military Sealift Command running through September 2028, covers hull, mechanical, electrical, and fabrication services for East Coast homeports and overseas operations; recent orders include HVAC maintenance on USNS Apalachicola and highline motor overhaul on USNS Joshua Humphreys. A third IDIQ with Military Sealift Command for electrical systems repair carries a $44.6 million ceiling and a five-year ordering period through June 2030. The newest vehicle—the CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines IDIQ, a multi-award contract without set-aside awarded September 2025 with a $1.143 billion ceiling through September 2033—positions Auxiliary Systems Inc. in Lot 2 (Non-Critical Systems Engineering) for discrete and non-discrete production support across the Navy's four public shipyards, with a $5,000 firm fixed-price delivery order already issued for non-critical systems engineering on October 2025.

Activity grew from 71 awards in 2022 to 167 in 2024, driven by the accumulation of delivery orders under standing IDIQs rather than new vehicle awards. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months—only two awards totaling $17 thousand complete in that window—because the parent IDIQs carry multi-year ordering periods and are administered as standing contract vehicles.

Auxiliary Systems Inc. operates as a prime contractor on 80% of recent awards (933 of 1,172 total), with its own delivery teams; the remaining 20% (239 awards) reflects subcontract work. When subcontracting, the company partners with defense primes including BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk (over 100 sub-awards for direct subcontract costs on USS WASP, USS KEARSARGE, USS CARTER HALL, and related availabilities), East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC (ship-specific labor and materials for hull, mechanical, electrical work on multiple amphibious and destroyer vessels), Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (work on LPD-29 tank-less water heater integration and ship availability product work), Vigor Marine LLC (repairs for USS JOHN S MCCAIN), and Metro Machine Corp. (work on USS PORTER and USS OAK HILL). SCI-reported invoicing for FY2022 totaled $588 thousand across 2.3 FTEs, with government-paid median rates around $125.80 per hour—a narrow rate posture suggesting standardized labor classifications on small task orders rather than a diverse workforce profile; however, SCI captures only federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and the bulk of Auxiliary Systems Inc.'s federal revenue, which flows through delivery orders under standing IDIQs.
