Metro Machine Corp

Metro Machine Corp, operating as General Dynamics Nassco-Bremerton, provides non-nuclear maintenance, repair, and modernization services for U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and surface combatants as a prime contractor exclusively to Naval Sea Systems Command, with $3.27 billion in combined potential value across 59 awards and no set-aside designations. Metro Machine Corp is a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, and operates the Nassco-Bremerton shipyard division in Bremerton, Washington, maintaining a SECRET facility security clearance for sensitive naval maintenance operations. The vendor competes full-and-open against other primes for all task orders and indefinite delivery contracts; no SBA certifications or socioeconomic set-asides apply to its federal work.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on two distinct naval ship-class missions. For CVN-class carriers (CVN 68 Nimitz-class and CVN 78 Gerald R. Ford-class), Metro delivers non-nuclear maintenance, repair, and modernization through a $781.7 million single-award IDC awarded February 26, 2025, running through February 2031, covering work at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton. Recent CVN task orders include a $179.2 million delivery order issued January 17, 2025, for USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) fiscal year 2025 docking planned incremental availability execution planning and maintenance; a $16.5 million order for USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) execution planning of repair and alteration requirements (May 6, 2025); and a $2.7 million order for USS Nimitz (CVN 68) continuous maintenance availability 6A1 (September 26, 2025). For non-nuclear surface combatants (destroyers, cruisers, littoral combat ships, amphibious vessels, and frigates), Metro holds a $944 million multiple-award IDC under the Northwest Regional Maintenance Center (NWRMC) Surface Ship Repair, Maintenance, and Modernization parent vehicle, awarded January 25, 2024, extending through January 2029, covering work in Bremerton and Naval Station Everett, Washington. The NWRMC contract splits into two competitive lots: Lot 1 for critical emergent maintenance under open competition, and Lot 2 for non-critical emergent maintenance restricted to small business (though Metro's awards fall under Lot 1). Recent surface-ship task orders include a $44.9 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract for USS Sampson (DDG 102) selected restricted availability (March 21, 2023); a $6.38 million order for USS Chosin (CG 65) work items (April 10, 2023); and a $1.5 million order for USS Kidd continuous maintenance availability (February 6, 2023).

Customer concentration is absolute and monolithic: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for all 59 awards and 100% of the $3.27 billion combined potential value. This singular customer dependency reflects Metro's specialized role as a private-sector carrier-maintenance provider and regional surface-ship repair contractor embedded in the Navy's distributed shipyard network.

Metro's vehicle footprint is dominated by the two primary IDCs. The $781.7 million CVN-class IDC (designated N0002425D4110) anchors 5 task orders carrying $21.5 million in combined potential value. The $944 million NWRMC surface-ship IDC (designated N0002419D4310) anchors 38 task orders worth $478.3 million combined potential value, representing the overwhelming majority of task-order activity. A secondary CVN-class IDC (designated N0002418D4412) carries 8 task orders valued at $93.5 million. Task-order activity shows modest year-over-year volume: seven awards in 2022, nine in 2023, seven in 2024, and eight in 2025, with one award to date in 2026.

Metro's recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months is not separately quantified in the source data, but the two primary IDCs provide structural visibility: the NWRMC surface-ship contract (valued at $944 million) completes January 24, 2029, and the CVN 68/78 IDC (valued at $781.7 million) completes February 25, 2031. Substantial dollars are obligated and flowing — $827.5 million in combined obligations across all awards represents 25% conversion of the combined potential value, indicating sustained execution across the active task-order pipeline.

Metro's subcontractor footprint is broad and diversified, reflecting the labor and materials complexity of naval ship maintenance. On the $179.2 million CVN 76 DPIA order, Metro engaged Prime Time Coatings Inc. (WOSB, nonskid deck preservation), Bisco Industries (fasteners and electronic components), Washington Chain & Supply Inc. (anchor chains and marine deck equipment), Herc Rentals (equipment rentals), Airgas (industrial gases), Bender CCP (propulsion system components), Red-D-Arc (welding and fabrication supplies), and specialized marine service providers for tank cleaning, rigging, coating removal, and structural repair. Other recurring subcontractors include Nelson Industrial Services Inc. (small disadvantaged business, deck preservation and deck covering), American Scaffold LLC (scaffolding), Propulsion Controls Engineering LLC (propulsion control and engineering services), Coastal Marine Services Inc. (maritime industrial services), and Washington Marine Cleaning LLC (marine cleaning and fluid disposal). Metro routinely leverages small and disadvantaged business subcontractors across preservation, coating, rigging, scaffolding, and specialized ship-systems domains.

As a General Dynamics subsidiary, Metro operates as part of a larger defense prime, but the Nassco-Bremerton division maintains distinct operational and contractual identity focused exclusively on Navy ship maintenance. The division does not appear in the source as a subcontractor to other primes; all captured awards reflect direct prime relationships with Naval Sea Systems Command.
