Marlin Machine Products

Marlin Machine Products, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned partnership based in Riverside, California, manufactures precision-machined components and assemblies for Naval weapons platforms and vertical launching systems as a 100% prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in headspace gages, strongback weldments, restraint assemblies, wire rope and block assemblies, and mission-critical gauging components for submarine missile systems, surface ship weapons platforms, and Navy VLS infrastructure, delivering from its Riverside and Norco, California facilities.

Marlin's customer concentration is absolute: all 40 awards in the recent footprint flow from a single customer, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which accounts for the full $2.8 million in combined potential value. The company has maintained an exclusive NAVSEA relationship dating to at least 2003, with recent work spanning 2021 through February 2026. Activity trajectory shows volatility at small absolute scale—seven awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date—with no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or standing contracts. All work flows through individual firm fixed-price purchase orders.

Representative recent work includes a $234,020 headspace gage contract awarded September 30, 2025 (ultimate completion March 17, 2026), a $197,952 contract for 16 VLS Cell Maintenance Stands awarded August 5, 2025 (January 20, 2026 completion), a $176,460 wire rope, block, and pad assembly order for the MK151 SLING Surface Launching Systems Program awarded September 6, 2023, and a $249,990 guide rail contract awarded May 27, 2022. The company also carries $37,440 (custom microphone mount, February 18, 2026) and $54,758 (machined gauging components, May 20, 2025) awards in its current portfolio. Work spans NAICS 332710 (Machine Shops, primary classification for 17 awards) and related fabrication categories, with PSC codes concentrated in guided missile maintenance, repair and checkout equipment and hardware for weapon systems.

Marlin operates as a pure small business prime with no subcontract exposure in the source data and no access to government-wide acquisition contracts or blanket purchase agreements. The total small business set-aside designation is the sole vehicle through which the company competes; all awards carry this designation or lack set-aside markup entirely. No recompete cliff figure is provided; the company faces multiple completion dates in 2025 and early 2026 but lacks any forward-funded continuance awards in the visible footprint.
