Commercial Contracting Enterprise, Inc.

Commercial Contracting Enterprise, Inc., doing business as Commercial Contracting Enterprise, supplies specialized textile, fabric, and maritime materials to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on small-value purchase orders, with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounting for 434 of its 515 recent federal awards. The Chesapeake, Virginia–based small business competes exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) and Total Small Business set-aside categories, with no participation in 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other preference designations.

Commercial Contracting Enterprise's portfolio centers on materials for naval shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair operations. The company supplies flame-resistant fabrics (Nomex in multiple colors), upholstery materials (Naugahyde), canvas, leather, specialized threads and tapes, adhesives, and hardware components used across Navy installations and shipyards, predominantly in Virginia. Representative recent work includes a $24,999 purchase order from NAVSEA for Herculite black fabric (April 29, 2025), a $23,770 Total Small Business set-aside for smoke curtain fabric (November 4, 2021), a $23,130 Total Small Business award for unspecified textile materials (August 2, 2024), and a $22,899.45 Total Small Business purchase order from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces for general fabric and maritime supplies (July 17, 2025). Beyond textiles, the company has furnished materials such as upholstery foam, wood fillers, sealers, adhesives, and pharmaceutical supplies (aspirin and motion sickness tablets) to naval procurement offices. Individual ceiling values range from under $100 to approximately $54,000, reflecting NAVSEA's reliance on routine small-purchase mechanisms rather than larger indefinite delivery vehicles.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source dependent. NAVSEA drives 434 of 515 awards (84% by count) and $2.6 million of the $3.4 million combined potential value (76% by dollars). The next three largest customers—U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (34 awards, $295 thousand), U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) (13 awards, $289 thousand), and Naval Supply Systems Command (12 awards, $60 thousand)—together account for only 59 awards and $644 thousand. The top five customer agencies cover 97% of recent awards. Place of performance is dispersed across naval facilities: Portsmouth, Virginia dominates but Stoughton, Wisconsin, Sarasota, Florida, Pompano Beach, Florida, Wilmington, Delaware, and North Chesterfield, Virginia also appear frequently.

Commercial Contracting Enterprise's award activity has remained steady at 23–29 awards per year from 2022 through 2025 (14 awards in 2026 through early April). The company is not known to sit on government-wide IDIQs or BPAs; the top parent vehicles in the source are an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0018906A0026) with 13 task orders worth $186 thousand and one task order under SPE8E324D0023. The vendor's portfolio suggests reliance on direct NAVSEA spot purchases rather than scrolling large pre-competed vehicles.

The company registered in the System for Award Management in September 2001 and has maintained continuous Navy supplier status since that date. It subcontracts minimally; the source reports two sub-awards: $5 million-plus work under Huntington Ingalls Inc. (CVN 74 RCOH material supply, wool and stainless steel wire, March 4, 2025) and a task-order subcontract under Asrc Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC (laminated cloth and vinyl provision, August 8, 2024). Both represent material supply roles consistent with the company's core business.

By NAICS code concentration, Commercial Contracting Enterprise clusters heavily in Broadwoven Fabric Mills (188 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (41 awards), Textile Bag and Canvas Mills (31 awards), and Fabric Coating Mills (24 awards). PSC codes reinforce the textile focus: 339 awards under Textile Fabrics, 31 under Yarn and Thread, 23 under Leather, and the remainder in adhesives, sealing compounds, and drapery products. The combined obligated dollars ($3.5 million) exceed the combined potential value ($3.4 million) by 4%, indicating the vendor has drawn down or exceeded ceiling values on a substantial portion of its portfolio, typical for routine consumables procurement at the Navy.
