Briartek Inc.

Briartek Inc., a SBA-certified veteran-owned small business based in Alexandria, Virginia, manufactures maritime safety and communications equipment for the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements and holding a $12.4 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command plus a $40 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and for-profit organization with VOSB certification valid through October 16, 2028.

Briartek's concrete capability footprint centers on radio transmitters, antenna elements, direction finder systems, man-overboard indicator receivers, DC battery backup equipment, indicator subassemblies, electrical covers, and associated electronic components for naval communications and maritime safety applications. Recent representative work includes a $207.6 thousand cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded September 5, 2025) for engineering and technical services to complete installation of the Man Overboard Indicator System, completion targeted August 30, 2026; a $39 thousand small-business-set-aside delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 14, 2026) for laptops, workstations, and portable hard drives in support of Code 60 logistics scanning hardware; and a $350 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (January 22, 2026) for antenna components, ceiling through January 22, 2027.

Customer concentration is acute and naval-focused. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of awards and the bulk of potential value. Naval Supply Systems Command dominates with 2,252 awards (89% of award count) and $86.2 million in combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command contributes 96 awards worth $56.9 million. GSA Federal Acquisition Service, through Briartek's Federal Supply Schedule position, anchors $64.5 million across just three awards. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime combined represent 118 awards and $3.4 million. A small tail includes the Office of Naval Research (9 awards, $9.9 million) and other Navy commands. The vendor has no meaningful customer diversification outside naval and maritime defense.

Vehicle position is dominated by task orders against established Navy contract vehicles. Briartek places 1,030 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($32.2 million combined potential value), 817 calls under the Naval Supply Systems Command Blanket Purchase Agreement SPRMM119ATK01 ($8.4 million), 493 calls under BPA N0010414AZE01 ($10.8 million), and 277 task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010409AZE01 ($5 million). A $12.4 million single-award BPA with Naval Supply Systems Command is the foundational vehicle generating the bulk of routine small-value calls. These vehicles reflect deep entrenchment in Navy supply chain procurement rather than broad platform access.

Activity trajectory shows volatility but recent strength. Awards per year over the past five years: 2022: 205 | 2023: 92 | 2024: 171 | 2025: 252 | 2026: 86 (year-to-date through April 8). The 2025 spike to 252 awards reflects high-frequency, low-value call activity under the NAVSUP BPA. Combined potential value across 2,523 total awards stands at $236 million, with $87.3 million obligated (37% realization rate), consistent with a vendor generating many small purchase orders. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only five awards totaling $796 thousand face completion within that window, suggesting stable vehicle positions and low near-term churn risk.

Subcontract footprint is negligible. The source names one sub-award: Briartek as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Corporation on LCS 21 (Littoral Combat Ship) CFR engineering and management efforts (awarded April 4, 2024). This represents a small sub role on a major naval platform but is dwarfed by Briartek's prime contracting volume.

Product service code concentration reinforces specialization: Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne (1,318 awards), Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (421 awards), Radar Equipment, Except Airborne (195 awards), and Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne (174 awards) dominate. NAICS 334210 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) covers 1,778 of 2,523 awards. This vendor is a single-purpose manufacturer and supplier for a single customer ecosystem.

Briartek competes in full-and-open procurements with no recourse to 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead leveraging its VOSB designation to compete competitively on federal schedules and agency BPAs. The award pattern—thousands of small calls across standing vehicles—signals a preferred-vendor relationship with Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command rather than a broad federal footprint or growth into new customer agencies or product lines.
