Droitcour Co

Droitcour Co, a for-profit manufacturer based in Warwick, Rhode Island, supplies shark tags and precision-engineered metal and electronic components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards) competing under full-and-open procurement. The company operates without SBA set-aside designations and holds an extensive base of indefinite-delivery contracts across multiple agencies spanning four decades.

Droitcour's customer base is heavily concentrated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which accounts for 34 awards (79% of the award count among top customers) and $1.9 million in combined potential value — primarily delivery orders for shark tags in support of NOAA's Cooperative Shark Tagging Program and fisheries research. Recent NOAA orders include a $81,280 delivery order for 8,000 shark tags (awarded August 21, 2024, ultimate completion September 30, 2024), a $46,339 order for shark tags (awarded August 17, 2023), and a $43,920 delivery order for 4,000 shark tags (awarded July 31, 2026, completing December 4, 2026). Secondary customers are the Department of the Navy (9 awards, $23 thousand combined potential value through Naval Sea Systems Command) and the Defense Logistics Agency (7 awards, $58 thousand combined potential value). The portfolio spans eight distinct federal agencies.

Droitcour operates on multiple NOAA indefinite-delivery contracts: IDC DOCEA133F16CQ0035 carries nine task orders worth $329 thousand; IDC DOCEA133F07CQ0040 carries eight task orders worth $162 thousand; and IDC DOCEA133F11CQ0049 carries six task orders worth $242 thousand. Additional parent vehicles include Navy and DLA IDCs with lower per-vehicle task-order density. Combined potential value across all eighty-seven prime and sub awards is $2.4 million, with $2.1 million obligated (89% realization).

Award activity has been episodic — three awards in 2021, one in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, and one in 2026 — reflecting the delivery-order cycle on established IDCs rather than new vehicle wins. Only one award completes within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $44 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. In its subcontractor role, Droitcour performs work on streamlined change orders for SSBN 826 submarine construction and related funding and scope revisions under Electric Boat Corporation (seven sub awards, all dated 2023 or 2024). The company's product portfolio spans precision turned products, metal coating and fabrication, radio and navigation equipment manufacturing, and miscellaneous instrumentation — reflected in its top NAICS categories (Precision Turned Product Manufacturing, Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing, Metal Coating and Engraving) and PSCs (Valves Nonpowered, Radio Navigation Equipment Airborne, Springs, Miscellaneous Instruments).
