Cascade Ship Supply, LLC

Cascade Ship Supply, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Kent, Washington, manufactures marine hardware, piping components, and valve assemblies for the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor exclusively on small purchase orders with no federal set-aside involvement. The company operates 100% as a prime contractor—all 165 awards in the source data are prime—across a narrow customer base, competing predominantly on full-and-open procurements alongside small-business set-aside opportunities when designated by Naval Sea Systems Command.

Cascade's capability footprint centers on specialized marine equipment for naval vessel maintenance and repair. The company supplies brass bushings, ball valves, filter housings, piping adapters, camlocks, swivel adapters, manual control handles, fittings, and fire-fighting manifold components—all precision items essential to fleet readiness. Representative work includes a $163,980 total small business purchase order (November 2021) from NAVSEA for adapters, flanges, and valves for fire-fighting manifolds delivered to Norfolk Naval Shipyard; a $40,200 total small business purchase order (January 2022) for swivel adapters; and a $13,050 total small business purchase order (July 2024) for ball valve assemblies. Recent activity includes an $8,850 firm fixed-price purchase order (January 2025) for brass bushings and a $7,605 purchase order (May 2026) for a valve, both from NAVSEA with no set-aside used.

Customer concentration is extreme. Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 155 of 165 awards (100% combined potential value coverage for the top two customers) valued at $2.5 million combined, with the Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces holding the remaining 10 awards worth $148 thousand. NAICS concentration maps to metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (43 awards), industrial valve manufacturing (27 awards), and fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (24 awards). PSC concentration runs to hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings (65 awards) and valves, nonpowered (57 awards).

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor shipped seven purchase orders in 2022, two in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026—a contraction that reflects either tightening Navy procurement cycles or competitive displacement. Only one award (valued at $8 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company has served NAVSEA continuously since at least 2009, with historical contract values ranging from $2,475 to $163,980 per purchase order, all priced firm fixed-price with no subcontract engagement.
