About Donatini, Inc.
Donatini, Inc., doing business as Johnson Hicks Marine, manufactures and distributes marine electronics, radar equipment, thermal imaging systems, navigation devices, and safety equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards). The company is a small business headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, competing predominantly in full-and-open federal procurement with mixed small-business set-aside participation across purchase orders, delivery orders, and blanket purchase agreement calls against GSA's Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts.
Donatini's customer base concentrates heavily in defense logistics and Coast Guard maritime operations. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 70% of recent awards: the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard leads with 138 awards valued at $12.6 million, followed by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation with 121 awards at $21 million combined potential value. DLA Aviation and GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominate by dollar volume—DLA Aviation at $21 million and GSA at $10.7 million—while the Coast Guard drives volume. The company works across 66 distinct federal agencies, reflecting broad maritime equipment demand across DoD, DHS, NOAA, and civilian maritime services. Recent representative prime work includes a $951,856 delivery order from DLA Aviation for distress beacons under a $8.78 million single-award indefinite delivery contract through September 2030; a $303,891.30 Coast Guard delivery order for SINS II and AIS II navigation and communications systems under a $1.96 million multiple-award IDC through October 2029; a $318,488 DLA Aviation delivery order for distress beacons and maritime safety equipment issued March 19, 2026; and a $547,502.24 Coast Guard delivery order for eight FLIR M400XR thermal camera kits under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
Donatini holds position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as its dominant vehicle—190 task orders at $14.2 million combined value anchor the portfolio. Active indefinite delivery contracts include the $8.78 million DLA Aviation vessel distress beacon contract, the $1.96 million Coast Guard SINS II/AIS II maritime electronics contract, a $250,000 DLA Land and Maritime permanent loudspeaker contract (awarded September 2025, completing September 2026), and a $250,000 DLA Aviation radio set contract. The company's primary NAICS categories reflect maritime electronics manufacturing: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (294 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (78 awards), and Ship Building and Repairing (35 awards). Leading PSC codes align with product portfolio—Radar Equipment, Except Airborne (52 awards), Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (50 awards), and Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (45 awards).
Activity has remained stable year over year across the past five years (40–51 awards annually from 2022 to 2025), with nine awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only three awards with combined potential value of $379 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal recompete pressure in the immediate term. Donatini maintains minimal subcontractor exposure—only 2% of awards (9 sub-awards) flow through primes such as Prism Maritime, DCS Corporation, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Caci, Inc., reflecting a predominantly direct-to-federal-customer model. The company's sub work involves material supply and equipment installation for naval electro-optic, autonomous systems, and digital engineering programs. Combined obligated dollars across the portfolio total $37.8 million (62% of the $61 million combined potential value), indicating consistent contract execution and payment momentum across its maritime equipment supply base.
