Marine & Restaurant Fabricators, Inc.

Marine & Restaurant Fabricators, Inc., a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in San Diego, California, manufactures maritime furnishings, shipboard habitability materials, and sheet metal fabrication services for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps as a prime contractor, with 953 total awards and a $129.3 million combined potential value. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across Navy IDIQs and delivery orders, though an increasing volume of recent awards carry no set-aside designation.

The vendor's customer concentration is nearly monolithic within the Department of the Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces account for 767 awards (80% of the portfolio) and $72.7 million in combined potential value (56% of total). The two rankings diverge meaningfully: NAVSEA dominates dollar value ($47 million across 279 awards) while Pacific Fleet Forces drives award volume ($25.7 million across 488 awards). Naval Supply Systems Command, though carrying only nine awards, anchors $48.5 million in potential value—a signal of large, high-value IDIQs. Together, these three Navy entities represent 96% of awards and 97% of potential value. The U.S. Marine Corps contributes 16 awards ($2.7 million) for mattress refurbishment and related services; all other federal customers represent less than 4% of activity.

Marine & Restaurant Fabricators operates under multiple Navy IDIQs. The company holds a $6.7 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded June 2023, running through June 2028) for renovation of habitability spaces, which has generated nine awards to date. It also holds a $13.4 million multiple-award contract with NAVSEA for commercial industrial sheet metal services, supporting hundreds of task orders across destroyer, cruiser, amphibious, and littoral combat vessel classes. A $750,000 single-award mattress refurbishment contract with the Marine Corps (awarded September 2022, running through September 2027) rounds out the parent vehicles. The top five named parent vehicles generated 644 task orders (68% of recent activity) and $25.2 million combined potential value, with "Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing 2015-2016" and "Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment 2010-2015" vehicles each generating over 150 task orders.

Capability footprint centers on sheet metal fabrication and installation (419 awards under NAICS 334514), ship building and repair support (268 awards under NAICS 332510), and household and shipboard furniture manufacturing and renovation (126 awards under NAICS 337110). Representative recent awards include a $178,160 delivery order from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces for habitability flag cabin work aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) awarded January 21, 2026; a $139,956 NAVSEA delivery order for sheet metal repairs aboard USS Ashland (LSD-48) awarded December 19, 2025; and a $111,138 Naval Air Systems Command delivery order for ready room chairs awarded September 23, 2025. The company also holds a $150,000 Marine Corps delivery order for maintenance and refurbishment of 1,200 mattresses at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, awarded May 30, 2025. Work is performed in San Diego, California, with all delivery orders firm fixed price and all place of performance restricted to the San Diego area.

Activity has remained stable at 20 to 21 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, dropping to 11 in 2025 and seven in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (combined potential value $62,000) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure in the immediate term; the bulk of the portfolio runs through 2027 and 2028. The company has no subcontract footprint in the source material; all 953 awards are prime awards with zero sub-award participation detected. Obligated dollars ($56.5 million) represent 44% of combined potential value, reflecting the staged nature of delivery orders against open-ended IDIQs.
