About Chae And Nam Universe Inc.
Chae And Nam Universe Inc., a minority-owned, 8(a) and HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in National City, California, operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering sheet metal fabrication, submarine maintenance and repair, structural repairs, diesel generator maintenance, and industrial ship repair services to the U.S. Navy. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with Asian-Pacific American ownership and primarily competes under total small business set-asides across its Navy contract footprint.
Chae And Nam Universe's federal business is almost entirely Navy-concentrated. Naval Sea Systems Command represents 99% of award count (241 awards, $72.71 billion combined potential value) and 99.9% of dollars, reflecting deep positioning on Navy submarine and surface vessel maintenance programs at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center in San Diego. The Military Sealift Command places occasional task orders for voyage repair services on hospital and transport ships, accounting for $57.3 million in four awards. GSA's Federal Supply Schedule contract ($475 thousand ceiling, awarded November 2023, valid through November 2028) enables government-wide access to the company's industrial and ship repair services on a time-and-materials basis. Minor exposure exists with the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($5 million, one award) and the Department of the Air Force Space Command ($150 thousand, one award).
Chae And Nam Universe holds three significant NAVSEA indefinite delivery vehicles. The $20.3 million Submarine Repair Follow-On contract (total small business set-aside, valid through September 2027) provides non-nuclear depot-level maintenance and repair services on Virginia-class, Trident-class, and 688-class attack submarines. The $10.2 million Commercial Industrial Services Sheetmetal Repairs Follow-On contract (total small business set-aside, valid through April 2026) authorizes sheet metal fabrication, installation, and repair task orders across the Navy's surface fleet including guided missile destroyers, cruisers, and amphibious warfare ships. These two vehicles anchor the company's work; the source shows 72 task orders under one IDC, 38 under another, and 33 under a third, with combined potential values ranging from $1.9 million to $3.2 million per vehicle. Recent representative delivery orders include a $164.9 thousand total small business set-aside for sheet metal repairs, replacement, and fabrication on multiple naval vessel classes (April 2026), a $251.5 thousand non-set-aside delivery order for material support on USS Alexandria (August 2025), and a $1.94 million voyage repair delivery order for USNS Mercy through the Military Sealift Command (October 2022 through April 2023). Many smaller orders—under $100 thousand—support individual submarines and surface combatants.
Activity has declined year over year in the source window: 30 awards in 2022, 33 in 2023, 25 in 2024, 25 in 2025, and 4 through mid-April 2026. Award dollars obligated remain thin ($75.6 million across all 252 awards) despite the $72.77 billion combined potential value ceiling, signaling that many awards are task orders against large indefinite delivery vehicles. The company operates from facilities in San Diego and Lincoln Acres, California, positioning it to support Navy maintenance operations at Naval Base San Diego and the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center. Chae And Nam Universe's capability footprint emphasizes sheet metal work, submarine depot-level maintenance, structural repairs, diesel generator and HVAC systems maintenance, upholstery services, and interior decking repairs—narrowly focused on non-nuclear industrial ship repair across Navy platforms homeported in Southern California.
