Bender Ccp, Inc.

Bender CCP, Inc., doing business as Bender CCP Inc., manufactures and repairs critical maritime propulsion system components—propeller shafts, stern shafts, intermediate shafts, rudder assemblies, and specialized rotating equipment—primarily for the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense as a prime contractor (20% of recent awards) and extensively as a subcontractor to major naval ship repair primes (80% of recent awards). Headquartered in Vernon, California, with a subordinate facility in Portland, Oregon, the company is a small business that competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on prime IDIQs and delivery orders, though it receives full-and-open (no set-aside) task orders under its largest parent contracts.

Bender CCP's customer concentration is extreme and Navy-dominated. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of awards, led decisively by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (15 awards, $817.2 million combined potential value) and Naval Sea Systems Command (171 awards, $149.4 million). The rank split between award count and dollar value reveals the portfolio structure: NAVSUP anchors most of the dollar exposure through five large IDIQs—the $647.4 million Repair Surface Shafts contract (with $10.7 million in task orders executed), the $137 million Waterborne Surface Shafts contract, and three smaller pump and surface ship repair vehicles totaling over $164 million in ceiling value. NAVSEA dominates award frequency through 171 task orders concentrated under three indefinite delivery contracts (N0002418D4325 with 40 task orders, N0002418D4415 with 8, and N0002416D4416 with 6), delivering pump overhaul, valve repair, and general ship repair services. The U.S. Coast Guard (10 awards, $24.6 million) places work under a single-award $21.8 million IDIQ for shaft and rudder overhaul and stock manufacturing. Naval Supply Systems Command has also placed work with Bender CCP under the Military Sealift Command vehicle ($55.1 million, 5 awards) for general ship repair on the West Coast.

Recent prime awards illustrate the concrete capability portfolio. A $1.84 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (November 2025) covers repair and overhaul of a DDG-51 stern shaft under the Repair Surface Shafts IDIQ; a $574,731 Coast Guard delivery order (April 2026) covers open, inspect, and report and possible overhaul of a shaft assembly for WMEC 270; a $598,467 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers purchase order (July 2025) covers overhaul of the dredge Yaquina's propulsion shafts and hubs; and a $372,207 USACE order (July 2025) covers rudder and stock overhaul for the USAV Yaquina. A $5.175 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (September 2021) supplied stern and propeller shafts for the LHA-6 amphibious assault ship. Prime work spans firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchases under multiple IDIQ vehicles, with completion dates extending through 2028.

Bender CCP operates almost entirely as a subcontractor to prime ship repair and construction firms. The subcontract footprint is dominated by BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc. (over 100 named sub awards since 2023), where Bender CCP performs shaft replacement, pump overhaul, steering gear hydraulic system work, and related propulsion component repair across docking selected restricted availabilities (DSRA) for LCS-class ships (USS Charleston, USS Oakland, USS Mobile), DDG-class destroyers (USS Halsey, USS Kidd, USS McCampbell), and LPD-class transport dock ships (USS Green Bay). National Steel and Shipbuilding Company has also placed Bender CCP as a subcontractor for repair work on USS Chung-Hoon and USS James E. Williams (DDG-class depot modernization periods) and on USS America (LHA-6) docking selected restricted availability. Vigor Marine LLC engages Bender CCP for tail shaft inspection, waterborne propulsion shafting replacement, and steering gear hydraulic pump work on supply and amphibious assault ships including USNS John S McCain and USNS Matthew Perry. Delphinus Engineering, Inc., General Atomics, Metro Machine Corp, Oceaneering International Inc., and other primes place occasional task orders for valve repairs, blade palm machining, LARS pitch damping cylinder manufacture, and reduction gear overhaul. The concentration of sub work with BAE Systems—reflecting recurring naval ship availability cycles—signals that Bender CCP's growth trajectory and forward pipeline depend substantially on the pace and scope of Navy surface combatant and amphibious maintenance scheduling.

Activity has grown significantly. The source shows 2 awards in 2022, 37 in 2023, 74 in 2024, and 83 in 2025, indicating rapid expansion in task order volume against established IDIQs. Five awards (combined potential value $9.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure relative to the size of the active portfolio.

On prime IDIQs, Bender CCP holds seat positions on the $647.4 million Repair Surface Shafts contract (Naval Supply Systems Command), the $137 million Waterborne Surface Shafts contract (Naval Supply Systems Command), the $108.6 million Surface Ship Repair, Maintenance, and Modernization IDIQ (Naval Sea Systems Command), the $55 million West Coast General Ship Repair vehicle (Military Sealift Command), the $35 million CIS Pumps and Motors Repairs IDIQ (Naval Sea Systems Command), the $21.8 million Shaft and Rudder Overhaul IDIQ (Coast Guard), the $5.6 million Non-SUBSAFE Valve Repair contract (Naval Sea Systems Command), and several smaller vehicles. Task order velocity is highest under the NAVSEA pump and ship repair vehicles (40, 8, and 6 task orders respectively), while Naval Supply Systems Command's shaft and surface ship contracts show lower but steady draw-down, indicating that the strategic focus is Navy fleet maintenance rather than deliberate surface combatant new construction shaft supply.

Service Contract Inventory data provides limited visibility: one SCI record (FY2024, subcontractor only) captures 2.2 FTEs in federal service contract work, reflecting Bender CCP's role as a specialized equipment repair and manufacturing provider where much work is transactional goods-and-repair purchase orders rather than billable labor-hour contracts above the SCI reporting threshold. SCI does not reflect the full scope of Bender CCP's federal revenue or workforce.

Bender CCP's industrial base positioning is singular: the company has consolidated a dominant position in Navy propulsion system shaft and rudder component repair and manufacturing, with deep integration into Navy maintenance availability cycles through its prime IDIQs and extensive subcontract relationships with the two largest naval ship repair primes. Competitive risk to the vendor stems from recompete cliffs on aging IDIQ vehicles and from the cyclical and executable-orders-dependent nature of Navy ship repair work.
