About Colonna's Shipyard Inc.
Colonna's Shipyard Inc. Steel America Division, doing business as Steel America, manufactures and repairs marine propulsion shafts and related waterborne surface components for the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across all recent awards.
Steel America is a for-profit manufacturing subsidiary of Colonna's Ship Yard, Incorporated, headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, with secondary manufacturing capacity in Erie, Pennsylvania. The division operates primarily under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repair) and specializes in heavy steel fabrication, large-scale machining, and precision manufacturing of propeller shafts, stern shafts, intermediate shafts, and stern tube shafts for active Navy fleet vessels. The parent company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and holds a business size standard of 1,250 employees under relevant Navy solicitations.
Steel America's federal footprint centers overwhelmingly on Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) work. Among 235 prime awards across the portfolio, NAVSUP anchors 93 awards totaling $585.4 million in combined potential value—86% of the dollar value across all customers. NAVSEA accounts for 43 awards worth $42.2 million. The U.S. Coast Guard represents the third customer with 64 awards totaling $28 million. The Defense Contract Management Agency, the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, and others comprise the remainder.
Steel America holds two large IDIQ vehicles with NAVSUP: a $323.7 million five-year Repair Surface Shafts IDIQ awarded May 25, 2023, running through September 26, 2029, and a $137 million five-year Waterborne Surface Shafts IDIQ awarded July 28, 2023, running through July 28, 2028. Representative recent delivery orders under these vehicles include a $10.6 million DDG-51 propeller shaft manufacturing order (March 6, 2026), a $3.7 million DDG-51 propeller shaft order (October 10, 2025), a $3.592 million DDG-51 stern shaft order (July 17, 2025), a $2.126 million LHD/LHA-1 propulsion shaft order (April 1, 2025), and a $1.896 million DDG-51 propeller shaft supply order (March 19, 2026). All delivery orders carry firm fixed-price pricing with no set-asides. Steel America also holds multiple legacy basic ordering agreements and indefinite delivery contracts under NAVSUP and NAVSEA, with 39 task orders under Coast Guard vehicle HSCG4015D30004 ($9.7 million combined value) and 33 under BOA N0010414GA752 ($18.6 million combined value).
Award activity has declined in recent years—nine awards in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date—with only five awards totaling $21.9 million in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure. The portfolio's top PSC codes are Ship and Boat Propulsion Components (96 awards) and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment–Ship and Marine Equipment (62 awards), reinforcing the division's narrow specialization in Navy propulsion system support.
Steel America appears as a subcontractor to Metro Machine Corp. on a CVN-73 carrier modernization project awarded March 6, 2024, though sub-award activity comprises only one award in the available source data, with 234 of 235 awards recorded as prime.
