Compotech Inc.

Compotech Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Brewer, Maine, manufactures expeditionary shelter systems, composite materials assemblies, and defense technology components for the Department of the Army as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards), with minimal subcontract exposure. The vendor competes full-and-open on its core Army shelter work and holds positions under total small business set-asides on research and development contracts with Army and Air Force commands; recent awards carry no set-aside designations on the largest prime work.

Compotech's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Army accounts for 90% of recent awards by count and 99% of combined potential value, with the Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CSCSS) anchoring 14 awards worth $174.8 million in combined potential value. The vendor's other Army customers include the Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (6 awards, $8.8 million), the broader Department of the Army (4 awards, $10.1 million), the Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (1 award, $5.1 million), and the Engineer Research and Development Center (1 award, $1.1 million). Two Army SBIR awards round out the portfolio. This concentration reflects Compotech's established role as the prime contractor for the Army's primary expeditionary shelter platform.

Compotech holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $79.76 million with PEO CSCSS extending through December 20, 2028, which serves as the primary vehicle for shelter production and engineering work. Under this IDC, Compotech has received nine task orders worth $49.5 million in combined potential value as of the latest data refresh, including a $23.2 million delivery order for Expeditionary Shelter Protection System (ESPS) production crates (June 2024, completion September 2026), a $9.58 million delivery order for ESPS variant production units (January 2024, completion September 2027), an $8.9 million delivery order for additional ESPS production units (September 2025, completion September 2026), and a $7.75 million delivery order for the Expeditionary Shelter Protection System issued July 1, 2026. A second indefinite delivery contract (W911QY17D0021) carries 9 task orders worth $21.7 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds positions under two Information Analysis Center multiple-award contracts with 2 task orders.

Compotech's capability portfolio centers on prefabricated and modular shelter design, composite materials manufacturing, and defense system engineering. Top NAICS categories by recent award count are laminated plastics plate and shape manufacturing (16 awards) and applied research and development in the physical and engineering sciences (10 awards). Representative definitive contracts demonstrate breadth: a $9.27 million award from PEO CSCSS for design refinement, fabrication, training, and support for the Extendable Panelized and Collapsible Shelter (E-PACS) system (January 2025, completion September 2026); a $1.7 million Army SBIR Phase II award for contract systems migration from PD2 to ACWS (February 2024, completion February 2026); and a $1.15 million Engineer Research and Development Center SBIR Phase II award for large-scale additive manufacturing research to advance modular shelter design (June 2024, completion July 2026). Smaller SBIR Phase I awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory ($74,948 for typhoon-resistant modular shelter research) and the Army ($249,891 for AI/ML visual processing for energetic defect detection) round out the portfolio.

Activity has accelerated from two awards in 2022 to seven in 2024, with only two awards (combined potential value $17.3 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and presenting recompete exposure. Compotech subcontracts minimally — two recent sub-awards include critical minerals and materials research and development under Leidos for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (October 2024) and technology integration and assessment for U.S. Northern Command under Booz Allen Hamilton (December 2022). Place of performance spans Brewer, Maine (headquarters and primary manufacturing) and Woburn, Massachusetts (secondary operations facility).

Compotech Inc. designs and manufactures advanced composite armor systems, expeditionary shelters, and additively manufactured structures for U.S. defense applications. Leveraging precision CNC machining, robotic welding, and composite molding, Compotech delivers lightweight, durable systems engineered for rapid deployment and superior protection in demanding operational environments. The company also develops software, including DETECT-ML for AI-based inspection of manufactured components and FRAG-CT for automated fragmentation analysis used in munitions research and testing. Building on these core technologies, Compotech is expanding into advanced Command and Control (C2) software that integrates AI, modeling, and data fusion to enhance situational awareness, decision-making, and overall mission effectiveness across defense operations.
