Coastal Design, LLC

Coastal Design, LLC, a sole proprietorship based in Waterford, Connecticut, manufactures circuit card assemblies and electronic components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (66% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on Navy shipbuilding programs. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides on its prime work — about half of its direct DLA awards carry "Total Small Business" designations — and maintains an established track record with federal defense logistics dating to at least 2003.

Coastal Design's customer base is highly concentrated in defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 49 of the company's 77 recent awards and $3.5 million in combined potential value across primarily firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for circuit card assemblies under National Stock Numbers such as 5998016416025 and 5998016416049. The Department of the Navy accounts for 17 additional awards, driven by Coastal Design's recurring role as a subcontractor to Electric Boat Corporation on submarine construction and modernization work — including streamlined engineering changes, coupons, and material procurements for SSBN platforms — and direct Naval Sea Systems Command contracts worth $70 thousand across ten awards. A single Naval Supply Systems Command award carries $542 thousand. The concentration is pronounced: DLA Land and Maritime and the Navy together represent 100% of the source's award count.

Coastal Design holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250 thousand, and operates under three additional IDCs with DLA control numbers SPE7M520D61FY, SPE7M523D60AE, and SPE7M521D62JX carrying a combined potential value of $668 thousand across ten task orders. Recent representative prime work includes a $444 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order (March 2024) for 480 units of circuit card assembly NSN 5998016416049, a $259 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order (December 2024) for 269 units of NSN 5998016416049, a $70 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order with Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2023) for SSTP Processor Cards, and a $14 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order with DLA Land and Maritime for backplane assembly (December 2025). Awards range from as low as $3,650 to $444 thousand, with recent activity averaging $50 thousand to $150 thousand per task order.

Award activity peaked in 2023 with 20 awards, declined to 8 in 2024, and has slowed to 3 awards year-to-date in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards is $4.1 million, though obligated dollars total $4.8 million (118% of potential value), reflecting invoiced overages on certain delivery orders. No awards in the source data carry expiration dates within the next twenty-four months; the most recent IDC expiration cited is October 2023, and the backplane assembly contract completes February 2026. Coastal Design's primary category coding aligns with bare printed circuit board manufacturing (40 awards) and electrical and electronic assemblies (50 awards under PSC codes), with secondary work in engineering services (17 awards) and ship building and repairing (9 awards) reflecting its Electric Boat subcontractor activity.
