DC Engineering

DC Engineering, a sole proprietorship and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, delivers digital signage maintenance, CCTV system support, and audiovisual infrastructure services exclusively to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders. The vendor operates entirely within the federal space as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under both Total Small Business set-asides and open, unrestricted solicitations.

The vendor's customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value across the visible footprint. All fourteen prime awards fund Coast Guard operations, predominantly at the Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The work splits across electrical contractors and wiring installation (eight awards), computer systems design services (three awards), and miscellaneous equipment and components (audio/video manufacturing, software publishers, and IT equipment wholesaling). Representative work includes a $29,591 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order awarded February 9, 2026, for annual maintenance renewal of Exterity and VITEC digital signage systems through February 2027, including quarterly preventative maintenance, phone support, software updates, and hardware replacement; a $22,917 maintenance and support contract for digital signage infrastructure awarded February 1, 2025; and a $28,050 CCTV renewal purchase order awarded February 1, 2024. The vendor has also held recurring $24,000–$24,300 annual CCTV maintenance and AvediaCare Plus service contracts with the Coast Guard dating to at least 2022.

Activity has been sparse and flat — one award annually in 2022, 2023, and 2024, stepping to two awards in 2025 and one in 2026 — with combined obligated value of $522 thousand across the entire footprint. Only one award faces recompete inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $30 thousand). The vendor has no presence on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or IDIQs, no subcontract footprint, and no federal grant or recipient activity. DC Engineering operates as a single-customer, single-location technical support vendor with narrow scope — its federal footprint is essentially a sustainment relationship with one Coast Guard facility anchored by recurring, small-dollar purchase orders for audiovisual and security system maintenance.
