Cometto S.P.A.

Cometto S.P.A., an Italian sole proprietorship and manufacturer of mechanical and electrical industrial components, supplies precision-engineered parts to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin on defense system programs. The company is based in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Cuneo, Italy, and competes in open market procurement with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Cometto's federal work centers on Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) purchase orders for discrete mechanical components and subsystems. NAICS concentration lies in guided missile and space vehicle parts manufacturing (77 awards) and related machinery manufacturing categories, with PSC coding dominated by guided missile maintenance, repair, and checkout specialized equipment (170 awards). Representative prime work includes a $89,030.40 hose rupture valve purchase order (May 2026), a $58,439.68 pressure switch (September 2025), a $55,073.55 level sensor (September 2025), and a $37,093 fan drive motor (September 2025) — all firm fixed-price NAVSUP purchase orders with Italian place of performance. A smaller $2,364 rubber plate order and $1,069 lift hose award round out the portfolio. The company has maintained federal contracting registration since 2008 and supplies a recurring catalog of hydraulic valves, sensors, filters, hoses, pumps, gaskets, and related mechanical hardware critical to Navy logistics and vessel operations.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. NAVSUP accounts for 186 of 244 total awards (76% of all awards by count) and the full $2.4 million in combined potential value across the prime portfolio. A secondary tranche of 49 sub-awards flows through the Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs office (SSP), where Cometto subcontracts to Lockheed Martin on Trident program production and deployed systems support. These SSP subs cover specialized components including suspension cylinders, steering cylinders, hydraulic hoses, guided missile upgrade packages, electrical boxes, boost pumps, directional valves, drive motors, sensors, and filters — the same mechanical and electrical component categories that characterize the NAVSUP prime work, but in the context of strategic weapons platform sustainment and modification. Nine additional awards from Department of the Navy (non-NAVSUP, non-SSP) round out the three-agency footprint.

No parent IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs appear in the source. All 186 NAVSUP awards are individual firm fixed-price purchase orders, issued across a sustained relationship spanning 2022 to July 2026. Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 (51 awards) compared to 11 in 2022 and 7 in 2023, before moderating to 21 awards in 2025 and 5 in the first half of 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only four awards with ultimate completion dates in that window, carrying combined potential value of $99 thousand — reflecting the continuous-ordering, low-dollar nature of Cometto's NAVSUP supply catalog and the offshore manufacturing posture that anchors pricing and lead times to the Italian facility.

Cometto's subcontractor role is material and concentrated. Nearly all 49 sub-awards link to Lockheed Martin Corporation on FY20 and FY21 Trident Production and Deployed Systems Support contracts, where Cometto supplies components, spare parts, kitting, stocking services, and equipment modifications in support of Trident weapons system transportation and logistics platforms — work that extends back to at least May 2022 and continues through early 2025. The dollar values on these sub-awards are not disclosed in the source, but the density and recurrence of itemized component lists (suspension cylinders, hydraulic hoses, valves, motors, sensors, filters, electrical boxes) indicate material ongoing engagement with Lockheed across Trident sustainment programs.

Combined potential value across all 244 awards stands at $2.4 million against $2.8 million in obligated dollars — a 117% ratio indicating that invoiced spend has slightly exceeded initial ceiling estimates, consistent with small individual purchase orders subject to minor overages. The vendor's footprint is narrow and specialized: a single-agency prime supplier (NAVSUP) operating on transactional purchase orders, plus a sustained subcontractor relationship with Lockheed on a single named prime vehicle (Trident P&DSS). Cometto does not compete for prime work outside the Navy; does not hold IDIQs or seats on government-wide vehicles; and derives recurring revenue from catalog replenishment orders and component modifications tied to naval vessel and weapons system logistics rather than from large-dollar program vehicles.
