About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Barber-Nichols, LLC, a subsidiary of Graham Corp based in Arvada, Colorado, manufactures custom turbomachinery and specialized components for the Department of Defense and National Aeronautics and Space Administration as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) on full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation. The company specializes in torpedo ejection pumps, bearing cartridge assemblies, centrifugal pumps, seal assemblies, and related undersea warfare components, with expertise in repair, manufacturing, and technical support for submarine systems including the TRIDENT Planned Equipment Replacement Program for Ohio Class submarines.

Barber-Nichols holds a $245.9 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded March 12, 2024, completion January 23, 2029) for undersea weapons and defensive family of systems components and services. The company has anchored its recent revenue in this vehicle and related Naval Supply Systems Command and Defense Logistics Agency purchases. Representative prime work includes a $4.5 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (September 2023) for bearing cartridge A assembly manufacture; an $867,924 definitive contract from US Pacific Fleet Forces (June 2023) for MK17 torpedo ejection pump repair supporting TRIDENT; an $816,291 definitive contract from US Pacific Fleet Forces (August 2025) for MK19 torpedo ejection pump repair; and a $578,740 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (April 2023) for centrifugal pump repair. A secondary capability thread runs through aerospace and space applications: subcontract work includes a cryogenic hydrogen-oxygen smart propulsion flight demonstration pump assembly sub to United Launch Alliance (March 2024), and blower repair and integration services as a sub to Peraton Inc. on the ETIS III environmental test contract supporting NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (March 2025).

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command dominates dollar value at 36 awards carrying $382.4 million combined potential (87% of all potential value across the portfolio), while Naval Supply Systems Command places 40 awards valued at $26.9 million and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places 39 awards worth $1.2 million. Together these three entities account for 68% of recent awards. National Aeronautics and Space Administration appears as a fourth customer with 25 awards, though the agency is disaggregated across centers; NASA Johnson Space Center is the highest-value center at $5.9 million across four awards. US Pacific Fleet Forces rounds out the top tier with 5 awards valued at $4 million.

The award portfolio is dominated by pump and related component manufacturing: 67 awards (primary NAICS 338911 Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), followed by research and development work (16 awards). Power and Hand Pumps (PSC 3010) accounts for 89 awards. Most work is performed at the Arvada, Colorado facility, with some deliveries to the Trident Refit Facility in Silverdale, Washington and repair acceptance at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Activity has held relatively flat over the past five years (six awards in 2022 through eight awards in 2024), with only one award recorded in 2026 year-to-date as of the source capture date (June 11, 2026). Three awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $7 million.

In its subcontractor role, Barber-Nichols supplies specialized turbomachinery and components to prime contractors including United Launch Alliance and Peraton Inc. on space and aerospace programs, and to Science Applications International Corporation on MK 48 torpedo sections and related undersea systems. Electric Boat Corporation engaged Barber-Nichols for coupons and streamlined changes work on SSBN 826 submarine construction (May 2023). Raytheon Company and The Boeing Company have engaged Barber-Nichols for pump modifications and satellite communications purchased-outside-production support (January and September 2024). As a grant sub-recipient, Barber-Nichols worked on supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system turbomachinery design and fabrication under Heliogen Holdings, Inc. as prime grantee (May 2022).

The company is registered as a federal contractor since 2001 (per award summaries) and competes exclusively in full-and-open categories without small business set-aside designation. Corporate structure places Barber-Nichols as a Graham Corp subsidiary, with Graham Corp also holding one named subsidiary, P3 Technologies, LLC.
