Duthie Electric Service Corporation

Duthie Electric Service Corporation, doing business as Duthie Electric Service Corp, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) providing emergency backup power infrastructure services—including generator lease, maintenance, repair, installation, and automatic transfer switch work—to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Navy. The Long Beach, California-based contractor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and a for-profit corporate entity that competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with no set-aside designation applied to most awards, though two Naval Sea Systems Command contracts carry total small business set-asides.

Duthie's customer footprint is highly concentrated. The top customer, Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 at the Department of Veterans Affairs, accounts for 43 awards (67% of recent awards by count) valued at $1.6 million combined potential value, driven almost entirely by emergency power and generator work at the Long Beach VA Medical Center. Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second with seven awards worth $729 thousand combined potential value, anchored by preventative maintenance and generator services at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton. The Marine Corps, the Air Force, and the Coast Guard complete the active set, representing collectively under 6% of combined potential value. The two rankings align closely; VISN 22 dominates both volume and dollars.

Duthie's work is categorized primarily under NAICS 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with PSC codes centered on maintenance and repair of electrical wire and power distribution equipment. Representative recent prime contracts include a $328 thousand preventative maintenance and PM services purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for diesel generators at Naval Base San Diego (awarded September 2024, total small business set-aside, running through September 2027), a $171.6 thousand VA award for generator removal and replacement at Long Beach Medical Center (awarded December 2023), a $119.9 thousand VA emergency backup generator rental for Building 128 (awarded December 2022), and a $106.8 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command emergency generator maintenance contract at Camp Pendleton (awarded August 2022, total small business set-aside, through September 2027). A 125 kilowatt generator lease to Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for the Tibor Rubin Medical Center closed in February 2026 for $56.8 thousand.

Activity averaged roughly four to six awards annually from 2021 through 2024, with one award recorded in the 2026 capture window. Three awards with combined potential value of $492 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Duthie holds positions on four indefinite-delivery vehicles under Naval commands (IDCs M6739988C0028, N6247322D1811, and N6247324D3604) and one basic ordering agreement (MDA90288A0038), though activity on these vehicles remains light. The vendor subcontracts minimally—two sub-awards on record, including preventative maintenance work under Bering Straits Professional Services and environmental services under Aptim Federal Services—and operates as a primary service provider rather than as a component of larger integration efforts.
