About the company
Mclaughlin Research Corporation, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in New London, Connecticut, delivers engineering, technical, and infrastructure support services to the federal government as a prime contractor on naval weapons systems, undersea warfare platforms, and ship maintenance programs. The vendor operates exclusively on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designations, competing across the Department of Defense with a customer concentration that is extreme and intentional: the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 757 awards valued at $11.32 billion combined potential value, representing 100% of the vendor's top-customer-by-value ranking and 96% of all recent awards across the portfolio.
The vendor's capability footprint centers on platform and payload integration engineering, undersea weapons systems engineering, torpedo system support, submarine combat systems, and facility infrastructure and property management for naval installations. Recent flagship work includes a $97.76 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order under Seaport-NXG for maintenance, engineering, and industrial support at the Naval Undersea Warfare Intermediate Maintenance Activity in Keyport, Washington, running through August 2031; a $72.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for technical and engineering services supporting torpedoes, unmanned systems, and defensive systems under Code 85 (Undersea Warfare Weapons, Vehicles and Defensive Systems Department) at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, completing December 2029; a $67.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for platform and payload integration engineering and integrated logistics support at NUWC Division Newport, completing May 2029; a $24.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for business services, visual information, and graphics support to NAVSEA Public Affairs, completing July 2029; and a $1.3 million firm fixed-price purchase order for manufacturing and delivery of digital launch control display panels for Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarines, completing December 2027.
The vendor holds a $245.9 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with NAVSEA for the Undersea Weapons and Undersea Defensive Family of Systems, awarded January 2024 and running through January 2029, supporting design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and delivery of rapid prototype solutions for undersea weapons and defensive systems. Task orders under this IDIQ and related vehicles carry cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm fixed-price structures. The vendor also places work under Seaport-NXG (68 task orders, $448.1 million combined potential value) and multiple single-award IDIQs designated by Navy contract numbers. The vendor's position on these vehicles is as a prime contractor; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, named subcontractors account for roughly 10% of total contractor hours, with 40 named subs recorded across the portfolio, indicating that Mclaughlin Research Corporation self-performs the majority of its delivery.
Activity has declined in recent years: six awards in 2025 and three in 2026 (year-to-date through July), compared to ten in 2022, eleven in 2023, and fifteen in 2024. The vendor faces a recompete cliff of six awards valued at $116.5 million with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime contracts shows consistent contraction: $32.7 million across 240 FTEs in FY2022, declining to $19.3 million across 139 FTEs in FY2025. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $69.63/hr, with senior labor pricing through $100.13/hr and floor rates around $43.87/hr, indicating a workforce mix spanning technicians through senior engineers and program managers.
In its subcontractor role, Mclaughlin Research Corporation delivers engineering and technical support services to Rite-Solutions, General Dynamics Information Technology, BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services, Science Applications International Corporation, Seacorp, and CACI on Navy undersea warfare, combat control systems, in-service engineering, signature measurement and control, and facility operations programs. The vendor's sub footprint represents less than 1% of its overall prime awards, confirming a prime-focused business model within the Navy's undersea and surface warfare engineering ecosystem.
