M-3 Electric Co

M-3 Electric Co, a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Chesapeake, Virginia, performs electrical contracting and cabling installation work for federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) under small-business set-asides, with occasional subcontract work on facilities renovation and electrical system upgrades.

M-3's footprint is narrow and episodic. The vendor holds seven prime awards and two subcontract positions across nine total federal actions dating to 1996, with sparse recent activity — one award in 2021, one in 2023, and one in 2024. The combined potential value across all awards is $98 thousand, but obligated spend totals $1.4 million, indicating that many of these purchase orders and task orders were exercised at levels well above their initial ceiling values. M-3's primary NAICS concentration is Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (four awards), with secondary work in commercial and institutional building construction. Top PSC codes reflect the concrete scope: maintenance of miscellaneous buildings, air conditioning equipment, distribution and power station transformers, and electrical equipment repair.

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (three awards, $40 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy across multiple commands — Naval Sea Systems Command (two awards, $32 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Navy enterprise level — accounting for 89% of award count and 81% of combined potential value. M-3 holds two task orders under the 8A MACC DBB Hampton Roads Area vehicle.

In its subcontract role, M-3 performs electrical infrastructure work under Stampede Ventures, Inc. on two Navy renovation projects: a generator installation, cabling system, and electrical distribution panel upgrade (awarded January 2024) and a medium-voltage encapsulation system installation with associated conduit, cabling, and transformer work (awarded December 2023). Both sub awards derive from Stampede's role as the facilities renovation prime on Navy infrastructure modernization efforts. M-3 does not appear on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs and does not compete on civilian IT or services contracts; the vendor's federal work is confined to electrical and facilities maintenance for NOAA and Navy logistics and engineering commands in the Hampton Roads region.
