About the company
LFS Inc., a subsidiary of Trident Seafoods Corporation based in Bellingham, Washington, manufactures and supplies specialized trawl nets, webbing, hardware, and related marine equipment to federal fisheries research and maritime agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders. The vendor holds no federal set-aside certifications and competes exclusively in unrestricted competitions, with no subcontract footprint across its recent award history.
LFS Inc.'s customer concentration is acute and stable. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dominates the portfolio, accounting for 25 awards (56% of total awards) and $1.4 million (78% of combined potential value). The next four customer agencies—the U.S. Coast Guard (5 awards, $47 thousand), the U.S. Geological Survey (2 awards, $160 thousand), the Naval Sea Systems Command (1 award, $22 thousand), and the Forest Service Alaska Region (1 award, $13 thousand)—collectively represent 16% of awards and 14% of dollars. NOAA's dominance reflects LFS Inc.'s specialization in fisheries research equipment and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center's reliance on standardized trawl materials for stock assessments.
Capability work centers on commercial fishing equipment and marine hardware. Recent awards illustrate the scope: a $328,462 firm-fixed-price definitive contract from NOAA (July 2026, most recent award) for acquisition and delivery of FSV heavy trawl wire—four spools totaling 20,000 meters of Bridon Dyform trawl wire in multiple configurations—with delivery to the Gulf Marine Support Facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi by October 2026; a $99,922 sole-source purchase order from NOAA (September 2025) for trawl materials (rope, twine, webbing, hardware) to construct and repair trawls used in Alaska Fisheries Science Center surveys, with the government citing LFS Inc.'s proprietary fiber compositions and tensile strength engineering as uniquely available; and a $71,018 purchase order from the U.S. Geological Survey (August 2024, later deobligated) for Yankee trawl nets. The vendor also supplies maintenance parts—a $22,240 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order (June 2024) for a waterproof hatch assembly. Top NAICS categories reflect manufacturing posture: All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (14 awards), Sporting and Recreational Goods and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (9 awards), and Rope, Cordage, Twine Mills (7 awards).
Activity has been sparse and declining. The past five years show one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026—a flat to slightly downward trajectory with no vehicles or standing IDIQs anchoring the work. All fifty awards are purchase orders under various customer agencies' procurement processes. Combined potential value across the portfolio is $1.8 million, with 99% obligated, indicating contracts are largely closed or completed. The corporate parent, Trident Seafoods Corporation, is a Subchapter S for-profit manufacturer and seafood distributor; the source indicates Trident holds indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture unrelated to LFS Inc.'s marine equipment business line. LFS Inc. operates as an independent equipment supplier rather than a distribution arm of Trident's seafood operations.
