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 on 80% of recent awards and a subcontractor to major defense primes on the remainder. The company is organized as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and is a child of Elite Mgmt Group, LLC (a woman-owned business); Auxiliary Systems Inc. itself carries no stated SBA set-aside designation but competes frequently under total small business set-asides on individual task orders.

The portfolio concentrates heavily on naval vessel maintenance and repair. Core capabilities include motor rewinding, pump reconditioning, electrical system repairs, heat exchanger evaluation, AC/DC motor repair and supply, and fabrication of ship components. Representative prime work includes a $963,854 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for USS James E. Williams (DDG-95) maintenance under the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships - Norfolk IDIQ (April 2026); a $2.67 million NAVSEA delivery order for USS Philippine Sea (CG-58) maintenance under the same vehicle (May 2025); and a $2.68 million delivery order for hull, mechanical, and electrical repairs to TSV-4 Narragansett under the Hull, Mechanical & Electrical Pierside Assists (HM&E) parent IDIQ (September 2024). The company also supplies motors, pumps, and fabricated components to the Naval Supply Systems Command and delivers HVAC and equipment maintenance services to the Military Sealift Command.

Customer concentration is extreme: NAVSEA accounts for 751 awards worth $2.76 billion in combined potential value (81% of the portfolio by count and 81% by dollars), followed by Military Sealift Command (62 awards, $428.3 million), and the U.S. Coast Guard (163 awards, $126.7 million). The top five customer agencies represent 92% of award count and 100% of potential value. Award velocity has accelerated sharply — 71 awards in 2022 to 167 in 2024 — with 98 awards in 2025 and five in 2026 (through mid-April), indicating sustained Navy and Coast Guard demand for depot-level repair services.

Auxiliary Systems Inc. holds four named IDIQs. The $1.14 billion indefinite-delivery contract for non-critical systems engineering support under the CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines program was awarded September 2, 2025, with performance through September 1, 2033. A $96.5 million Hull Mechanical & Electrical repair IDIQ from NAVSEA runs through May 2026 and covers depot-level repair and maintenance for U.S. Navy vessels within 50 miles of Norfolk or overseas, including motor rewinding, pump reconditioning, heat exchanger evaluation, electrical system repairs, and fabrication. A $140 million East Coast General Ship Repair IDIQ from Military Sealift Command, awarded November 2023 and running through September 2028, covers maintenance, repair, and manufacturing services for Navy and Coast Guard vessels. A $44.6 million Electrical Services MAC IDIQ from Military Sealift Command, awarded June 6, 2025, covers turn-key repairs and maintenance for shipboard electrical systems, with OEM-certified parts and service technicians required; the contract carries a total small business set-aside. The company also places work on the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships - Norfolk vehicle (55 task orders, $24.8 million combined potential value) and the Coast Guard IDIQ for Dockside Maintenance (50 task orders, $11 million).

Auxiliary Systems Inc. operates primarily as a prime contractor on its own delivery teams but subcontracts regularly to defense primes anchoring major ship-availabilities. Named prime contractors it subcontracts to include BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk Inc. (USS Wasp, USS Carter Hall, USS Laboon, USS Kearsarge, and other ship availabilities), East Coast Repair & Fabrication, LLC (USS Gunston Hall, USS San Antonio, USS Tortuga, USS IWO Jima, USS Oscar Austin, USS Stout maintenance scopes), Huntington Ingalls Inc. and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (LPD-29 fit-out work, warranty drawdown items, tank system deliverables), BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair LLC (USS Ramage availability work), Metro Machine Corp. (USS Porter, USS OAK HILL, USS Eisenhower availabilities), Marine Hydraulics International, LLC (heat exchanger and pump motor repairs), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. (combat system support services at Wallops Island), Vigor Marine LLC, and Warwick Maritime Solutions. Subcontract scope spans motor repairs, pump reconditioning, electrical system work, fabrication, and heat exchanger maintenance on both active and in-overhaul vessels homeported in the Norfolk area and across the East Coast.

SCI-reported service contract activity captures only $588 thousand across 2.3 FTEs in FY2022, reflecting a partial and likely outdated snapshot of the vendor's federal services footprint. This subset does not represent total company revenue or workforce; the award portfolio's $3.4 billion in combined potential value and 1,165 total awards (927 prime) across naval ship repair, equipment supply, and facility maintenance services indicate substantially larger federal revenue and staffing across the full enterprise.

The vendor holds NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) as primary and PSC J099 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment - Other) for most work. It has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2001 and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its Navy and Coast Guard task orders.
