About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Colonna's Ship Yard, Incorporated, doing business as Steel America, operates as a prime contractor for ship repair, maintenance, modernization, and specialized maritime manufacturing services across the federal government. The Norfolk, Virginia-based firm competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open federal solicitations, holding a 76% prime-award posture while subcontracting roughly 24% of its recent portfolio. NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC J998 (Non-Nuclear Ship Repair, East) dominate the company's work profile.

Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) anchors the business: 761 prime awards carrying $8.33 billion in combined potential value represent 85% of award count and 95% of combined potential value across the top five customers. Within NAVSEA, the firm holds multiple large IDIQs—a $1.906 billion CNO Availabilities for Fast Attack Submarines contract awarded September 2, 2025, a $262.4 million Messing and Berthing Barges Program vehicle expiring July 15, 2030, Marine Boatyard Repair and Maintenance Support Lot I ($70 million, September 30, 2025–September 29, 2026) and Lot II ($61.9 million, December 11, 2025–December 10, 2026), and a $69.8 million Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Program (AWSM) Zone 3 contract expiring July 30, 2031. The next-largest customers by potential value are the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ($1.2 billion, 48 awards), U.S. Fleet Forces Command Atlantic ($1.05 billion, 43 awards), Military Sealift Command ($661.1 million, 163 awards), and the Coast Guard ($190 million, 130 awards). Recent representative work includes a $5.923 million CGC WILLOW drydock IDIQ (Coast Guard, August 18, 2026), a $9.41 million USCGC RELIANCE dry-dock definitive contract (Coast Guard, August 20, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside), a $4.495 million NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson drydock purchase order (NOAA, September 4, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), a $12.36 million Army logistics support vessel maintenance delivery order (TACOM, August 27, 2025, Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Zone 1 IDIQ), and a $1.82 million USS Arlington maintenance delivery order (NAVSEA, December 15, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside under the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships—Norfolk parent IDIQ).

Activity grew sharply in 2024 (478 awards) before moderating in 2025 (68 awards) and 2026 year-to-date (41 awards). Seventeen awards totaling $23.5 million in combined potential value face completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a recompete window. The firm operates facilities in Norfolk, Virginia and Piney Point, Maryland, with place-of-performance reaching Portsmouth, Virginia, Kittery, Maine, and Key West, Florida on recent orders.

The company subcontracts selectively—across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subs comprise 18% of total contractor hours, with 22 named subcontractors appearing across the portfolio. Colonna's subcontracts to Huntington Ingalls Inc. (HII) on multiple CVN 80/81 nuclear carrier detailed-design and construction awards, delivering steel panels and structural components, and subs to HII Fleet Support Group LLC on aircraft-carrier elevator support unit (ESU) technical repair work for USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) and USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) refueling complex overhauls. Additional sub relationships include work to Electric Boat Corporation (submarine weapon-system components), HII Mission Technologies Corp (counter-explosive-hazard research for naval sensors), Marine Hydraulics International LLC (USS Mesa Verde piping repairs), and Fairwinds Technologies LLC (reciprocating pump procurement).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $166.5 million over FY2022–FY2025, with FY2023 peak invoicing of $58.2 million across 606 FTEs. FY2024 contracted to $28 million across 63.9 FTEs, before rebounding to $49.1 million in FY2025 across 129 FTEs. Across SCI-captured prime work, median government-paid rates ran around $135.61/hr, with the 10th percentile at $30.19/hr and the 90th percentile at $338.50/hr, reflecting a broad labor mix spanning entry-level support through senior engineering and management. The corporate structure includes four subsidiaries: Colonna's Shipyard West LLC, Colonna's Shipyard Inc., Weld America LLC, and Accurity Industrial Contractors LLC. Total awards in the source data (2,026 across prime, sub, and legacy awards dating to 1980) represent a multi-decade federal maritime services footprint concentrated in ship repair, drydocking, hull and mechanical/electrical system overhauls, propulsion and structural maintenance, and specialized manufacturing for Navy surface ships, submarines, Coast Guard cutters, Military Sealift Command vessels, and Army and NOAA watercraft.
