Imeco Inc.

Imeco Inc. Imeco, Inc. Division, a for-profit limited liability company based in Marinette, Wisconsin, manufactures maritime refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment and components as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) supplying the U.S. Navy and defense agencies. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open competition with no small-business set-asides across its footprint. Imeco is a division of Trident Maritime Systems and serves as an original equipment manufacturer and approved service provider for specialized shipboard cooling, refrigeration, and HVAC systems.

Imeco's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command accounts for 794 awards (91% of all awards) and $95.8 million of the combined $109.3 million potential value across all recent awards. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency account for the remaining 9% of awards and less than 9% of potential value. This concentration reflects Imeco's role as a dedicated supplier to Military Sealift Command's T-AKE class and other auxiliary vessels, which require continuous sourcing of replacement parts, repair services, and specialized components. Representative prime awards include a $408,042.82 motor-brake assembly purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (August 21, 2025), a $877,256 intake silencer arrangement contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for power gas turbine modules (June 17, 2024), and a $345,605.25 cargo strongback purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (September 6, 2022).

Imeco's capability portfolio centers on maritime-specific refrigeration and HVAC component supply and repair: centrifugal fans, compressors, brine heaters, air handling units, motor-brake assemblies, evaporator and condenser tubes, valves, actuators, and related control systems. The company also performs vessel-based repair services, including cargo refrigeration plant compressor overhauls, cargo reefer troubleshooting, and on-site HVAC inspections for T-AKE class ships and fleet replenishment oilers. Recent work includes a $183,350.23 repair and troubleshooting contract for cargo reefers aboard a C2 vessel performed in South Korea (March 19, 2025), a $267,250.64 cargo refrigeration brine system valve and instrument procurement for the USNS Robert E. Peary (August 6, 2024), and a $194,723.13 brine heater and AC cooler delivery for shipboard HVAC cooling units (May 18, 2023). The top NAICS codes reflect this specialization: air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing (494 awards), shipbuilding and repairing (71 awards), and commercial machinery repair and maintenance (39 awards). Top PSC categories include miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (521 awards), maintenance and repair of ship and marine equipment (86 awards), and refrigeration and air conditioning components (35 awards).

Imeco maintains two named parent vehicles under its subcontractor footprint: an indefinite delivery contract under Coast Guard (HSCG4013D40008) with nine task orders valued at $2.7 million, and a second Coast Guard IDC (HSCG8513DP01538) with two task orders at $706 thousand. In its subcontractor role, Imeco supplies specialized maritime components and services to Marinette Marine Corporation (FFG(X) guided missile frigate fabrication and engineering, awarded October 2021 through November 2023), National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (T-AO tanker construction with multiple spec material awards in 2023 and 2024), Eastern Shipbuilding Group (offshore patrol cutter construction, August 2025), and Huntington Ingalls (LPD 30 canisters, July 2025). These sub relationships reflect Imeco's role as a specialized OEM supplier within larger defense shipbuilding primes.

Activity has grown from 30 awards in 2022 to a peak of 50 in 2024, then dropped to 19 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 year-to-date as of July 2026. Four awards with combined potential value $23.3 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor's obligated dollars ($184.7 million) exceed potential value by 69%, indicating substantial historical invoicing against these awards. Imeco has been a registered federal contractor since 2002, demonstrating sustained presence in military maritime supply. The company performs work at its Marinette facility and at subordinate locations including Norfolk, Virginia; San Diego, California; Pearl City, Hawaii; and South Korea, depending on vessel location and repair scope.
