J & L Marine Electronics Corporation

J & L Marine Electronics Corporation, a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Portsmouth, Virginia, provides marine electronics repair, installation, and provisioning services to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor operating entirely outside set-asides (100% of recent awards are full-and-open). The company holds Subchapter S corporate structure with self-certified small disadvantaged and veteran-owned designations.

The vendor's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated in Military Sealift Command work. The top customer agencies account for 96% of awards, led by the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command with 138 awards and $1.6 million in combined potential value. The remaining Navy components — the Bureau of Naval Personnel (2 awards, $86 thousand) and United States Pacific Fleet Forces (2 awards, $61 thousand) — comprise the secondary volume, with the Department of the Army and the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounting for four awards totaling $27 thousand. The concentration is both volumetric and financial: MSC anchors 96% of award count and 93% of combined potential value across the top five customers.

J & L Marine's capability portfolio centers on shipboard radar systems, navigation equipment repair, and marine electronics installation. Work spans S-band and X-band radar repair, gyrocompass maintenance with original-equipment-manufacturer coordination, Furuno radar procurement and installation, Automated Identification System deployment, and radar antenna and pedestal provisioning. Representative recent awards include a $26.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Military Sealift Command in January 2026 for S and X band radar repair on USNS SUPPLY (completion February 2026), a $42.7 thousand purchase order in January 2025 for gyrocompass repair aboard USNS HARVEY MILK involving Dynamic Reference Unit overhaul at the Anschutz factory in Germany with sea trial completion set for November 2025, and a $54.2 thousand total small-business set-aside purchase order from US Pacific Fleet Forces in August 2023 for Furuno X-band radar systems and related equipment. Work is performed at naval facilities (Naval Station Norfolk, Craney Island Fuel Depot) and subordinate operational locations (Mercedita International Airport in Ponce, Puerto Rico).

Activity is sparse and episodic. The award pattern shows one award in 2020, four in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2025, and one in 2026. The 152 total awards in the source data spanning 2005 to January 2026 carry combined potential value of $1.9 million against combined obligated dollars of $2.1 million, indicating past utilization above initial ceilings. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Top NAICS and PSC coding reflects the marine equipment repair, ship repair, radar equipment, and miscellaneous ship and marine equipment orientation. All recent awards from the source carry firm fixed-price terms and are purchase orders rather than indefinite-delivery vehicles.
