Mazzella Lifting Technologies, Inc.

Mazzella Lifting Technologies, Inc., doing business as Mazzella J Henry Holland, manufactures and supplies specialized maritime lifting, rigging, and safety equipment to the Department of Defense and federal maritime agencies as a small business prime contractor (97% of awards). The company operates as a subsidiary of Mazzella Holding Company, Inc., based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Mazzella competes full-and-open across its prime footprint, with no characteristic set-aside posture, though many individual awards carry Total Small Business or Competitive set-aside designations reflecting the company's small business status.

Mazzella's capability portfolio centers on wire rope assemblies, slings, hoists, mooring lines, flight deck components, chain hoists, shackles, rigging hardware, and specialized maritime cordage. Representative prime work includes a $2,111,748 single-award IDC with the Coast Guard (performance through August 2029) for wire rope products on Coast Guard vessels, generating multiple delivery orders annually for wire rope hoists and assemblies; a $6.48 million multiple-award IDIQ awarded by Military Sealift Command in September 2025 for mooring lines, rope, and wire (Mooring Lines, Rope & Wire MAC IDIQ FY25, completion July 2030) supplying nylon, polyester, and HMPE cordage in diameters from 7/8-inch to 3.5-inch; and a $250,000 single-award IDC with Defense Logistics Agency for pneumatic valves. Recent representative orders include a $508,051.75 Coast Guard delivery order (August 2026) for wire rope assemblies, a $316,231.20 Military Sealift Command purchase order (April 2025) for mooring lines for USNS Caesar Chavez, and a $202,165.83 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order (August 2023) for a mixed catalog of wire rope assemblies, flight deck components, and rigging equipment.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Navy surface and logistics operations. The top five customers account for 72% of awards: Military Sealift Command (340 awards, $25.4 million combined potential value—the largest single customer), Naval Sea Systems Command (744 awards, $6.1 million), U.S. Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (288 awards, $5.9 million), DLA Aviation (150 awards, $5.4 million), and the Coast Guard (73 awards, $5.1 million). By dollar volume, the ranking mirrors this: MSC dominates with $25.4 million of the $66 million total portfolio, followed by NAVSEA at $6.1 million and FFRC Atlantic at $5.9 million. The company has worked with 64 distinct customer agencies, but Navy and DLA relationships account for roughly 85% of dollars.

Mazzella holds positions on five principal parent vehicles. The Blanket Purchase Agreement N3220513A6202 (unspecified issuing agency from the source) carries 74 task orders worth $2.6 million. The Indefinite Delivery Contracts N0018906A0042, 70Z08518D40006B00, N3220519D9000, and SPM4A612D0045 each carry between 15 and 41 task orders, ranging from $440 thousand to $1.8 million combined value. These represent the core ordering mechanisms for routine maritime equipment procurements.

Activity has remained steady but with recent moderation. Mazzella received 81 awards in 2022, declined to 59 in 2023, grew to 108 in 2024, then dropped to 47 in 2025 and 13 (year-to-date) in 2026. The source carries 2,381 total awards spanning from 1981 to June 2026, representing a long-established federal contracting footprint. Three awards face recompete within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $560 thousand—minimal recompete cliff exposure.

In its subcontractor role (3% of awards), Mazzella supplies wire rope, hoists, rigging, and lifting equipment to prime contractors on U.S. Navy shipbuilding and repair projects. Named primes include Huntington Ingalls (multiple CVN 80/81 carrier construction sub-awards for hoists and lifting equipment, DDG 51-class construction, and LPD-class ship supply), Metro Machine Corp. (USS Bataan and USS Porter repair availabilities), East Coast Repair & Fabrication (USS Gravely and USNS Hershel "Woody" Williams repair work), and BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (USS Vicksburg modernization). These subcontracts typically flow materials and components into larger shipboard modernization and maintenance efforts rather than standing as discrete project awards.

Mazzella's NAICS concentration reflects a manufacturer footprint: Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (384 awards), Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills (358 awards), and Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing (234 awards) represent the top three categories. Primary Service Codes track similarly—Chain and Wire Rope (434 awards), Fiber Rope, Cordage, and Twine (296 awards), and Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (293 awards) dominate. This NAICS and PSC posture confirms Mazzella as a specialized maritime hardware and cordage manufacturer rather than a systems integrator or services provider.

The company's award portfolio has obligated $52.3 million (79% of combined potential value), indicating reliable execution and cash flow across a high-volume, low-to-medium-dollar-order customer base typical of Navy logistics and repair supply chains.
