BBG Inc.

BBG Inc., doing business as Assembly Solutions, is a small business manufacturer of specialized maritime and navigation systems and electronic converters that operates as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) supplying the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of the Navy with equipment, refurbishment services, and engineering support. Based in Chesapeake, Virginia, and structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, Assembly Solutions competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, which account for roughly half of its recent prime awards; the remainder compete full-and-open or are sole-source procurements justified by technical uniqueness and prior qualification aboard specific vessels.

Assembly Solutions' capability portfolio centers on navigation system converters, gyrocompass repeater refurbishment and upgrade, synchro-to-electrical conversion equipment, and marine engineering services. Representative prime work includes a $80,231 Coast Guard purchase order (August 2026, ultimate completion March 2027) for a BBG Data Converter and technical representative services — a rack-mounted network interface (Part Number BBG-D2F-SPW1-RM1) that converts isolated NMEA serial data to NAVSSI over fiber with integration and calibration services aboard the MK38 Mod 4 Gun Weapon System fire-control loop on naval vessels; a $106,876 Naval Sea Systems Command order (April 2025, ultimate completion June 2025) for engineering services to upgrade the BBG-D2F-SPW1 navigation system and support installation of upgrades to the MK 38 MOD 4 machine gun system aboard USS John L. Canley; and a $207,345 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order (February 2022, ultimate completion August 2022) for a BBG-MLP-GDP1 Gyro Distribution Rack. Earlier work includes refurbishment of MK XV gyrocompass repeaters, watertight doors for USCGC CONFIDENCE, and miscellaneous electrical equipment procurements.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 68 awards (55% of total) valued at $4.4 million combined potential value — representing the dominant customer both by volume and dollars. The Department of the Navy accounts for the remaining 45 awards spread across Naval Air Warfare Center (13 awards, $456 thousand), Military Sealift Command (11 awards, $551 thousand), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (11 awards, $186 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command (1 award, $1.7 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards, $345 thousand). The top five customer organizations account for 87% of recent awards and 70% of combined potential value. Assembly Solutions places work under Navy PMW 760 New Ship Construction C4I Integration (6 task orders) and Coast Guard Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG4013D20001 (5 task orders, $704 thousand combined potential value), along with Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0723M and other Navy indefinite delivery vehicles.

Activity has remained relatively flat at four to seven awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $80 thousand) and therefore minimal recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Assembly Solutions delivers synchro interface units and storage materials to Scientific Research Corporation, BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc., Science And Engineering Services LLC, and J.F. Taylor Inc. on Navy supply and logistics support contracts, particularly for tanker-class vessel (T-AO) programs. The vendor's work is grounded in hardware manufacturing and refurbishment — top NAICS include Navigation System and Instrument Manufacturing (24 awards) and Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing (19 awards) — rather than service delivery.
