Mid Atlantic Engineering Technical Services, Inc.

Mid Atlantic Engineering Technical Services, Inc., doing business as Maets, is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, that operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and subcontractor delivering ship repair, maintenance, modernization, and technical support services to the Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, and Department of Homeland Security. Maets competes across multiple set-aside categories—Total Small Business, competitive and sole-source 8(a) equivalents are not applicable here, but the vendor's footprint is anchored to SDVOSB and small-business set-asides—and holds three major Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicles totaling over $283 million in potential value.

Maets' customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command alone accounts for 47 awards carrying $72.69 billion in combined potential value—a number driven by a single $114 million IDIQ for production support labor at Norfolk Naval Shipyard awarded March 9, 2026, and an earlier indefinite delivery vehicle. Military Sealift Command is the second-largest customer by both volume and dollars, with 199 awards valued at $323.1 million across voyage repair, general ship repair, and specialized maintenance work on fleet replenishment oilers, logistics support vessels, and sealift ships including USNS Newport, USNS Apalachicola, USNS Choctaw County, and USNS Emory Land. Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (33 awards, $22.1 million) and the U.S. Coast Guard (9 awards, $11.2 million) round out the top defense customers. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contributes 3 awards worth $76.1 million for dockside repairs to research vessels, and the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command awarded 3 orders for Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Program Zone 3 support valued at $70.2 million combined. The concentration is severe: Naval Sea Systems Command and Military Sealift Command together represent 99% of the award count and account for the overwhelming majority of potential value.

Maets' core capability portfolio spans mechanical system repairs, steel work, piping upgrades, hull cleaning, HVAC services, life raft certification, antenna and communications work, structural inspection, and vessel preservation. Representative work includes a $3.42 million delivery order from Military Sealift Command (July 2025) for USNS Choctaw County deactivation voyage repair, a $1.75 million order for USNS Humphreys ship repair and maintenance (May 2025), a $1.89 million delivery order from NOAA (September 2024) for phase II dockside repairs to NOAA Ship Pisces, a $1.22 million Military Sealift Command order (February 2023) for steering and reversing cylinder refurbishment on USNS Newport, and $117 thousand and $103 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command delivery orders (March and May 2025) for combat systems refurbishment on USS Cole and USS Arleigh Burke respectively.

Vehicle position is concentrated in three primary IDIQs. The $140 million East Coast General Ship Repair IDIQ with Military Sealift Command (awarded November 3, 2023, through September 30, 2028, Total Small Business set-aside) anchors Maets' maritime footprint; recent delivery orders under this vehicle total $13.7 million combined potential value across 32 task orders. The $114 million Naval Sea Systems Command Indefinite Delivery Contract for production support labor at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (awarded March 9, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside) is the largest single vehicle by ceiling, with firm fixed-price level-of-effort labor across marine trades. The $73.8 million NOAA Fleetwide Dockside and Ship Maintenance IDIQ (awarded September 12, 2023, through August 31, 2028, Total Small Business set-aside) supports dockside repairs for NOAA research vessels. Beyond these three, Maets also holds a $69.8 million Army TACOM IDIQ for AWSM Zone 3 pier-side logistics support awarded January 30, 2026. Task orders under the top four parent vehicles account for the plurality of recent activity; Indefinite Delivery Contract N3220518D4917 (Naval Sea Systems Command, likely a combat-systems or technical-services vehicle) carries 43 task orders valued at $24.8 million combined potential value.

Activity over the past five years has remained steady at approximately 15–22 awards annually, with 15 awards in 2026 (year-to-date as of June 23). The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry a combined potential value of $121 thousand, indicating that most of Maets' major IDIQs are newly awarded or mid-contract and do not face near-term recompete pressure.

Teaming pattern shows Maets operates primarily as a prime contractor with minimal subcontractor footprint: 95% of awards are prime contracts or IDVs, and only 5% (17 awards) are subcontract positions. Within SCI-reportable service contracts, the vendor delivered roughly 20 FTEs in FY2025 and 2,410 FTEs in FY2022 (the latter a single prime record likely reflecting full-team reporting on a large labor contract), but SCI coverage is sparse across the vendor's portfolio—only 9 SCI records span FY2022 through FY2025, and zero invoiced revenue appears in SCI prime records, indicating that most of Maets' federal work is either capital-intensive ship repair (goods and materials rather than labor-reportable services), below the $150 thousand SCI threshold, or classified. When Maets does subcontract, it partners with shipbuilders and integrators including Vigor Marine LLC (antenna maintenance and ship work items on USNS Guadalupe, USNS Matthew Perry, and USNS Henry J Kaiser), General Dynamics Information Technology (controls and automation engineering on USS Kearsarge), and Chugach Technical Solutions LLC (engineering and technical support for Coast Guard vessel upgrades including fire detection, communications, and unmanned-systems integration).

Maets' set-aside posture is predominantly Total Small Business: 67 of its largest awards carry that designation, reflecting its service-disabled veteran-owned status and the small-business reserve across Military Sealift Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, NOAA, and TACOM vehicles. A minority of awards carry no set-aside (full-and-open competition), particularly in combat-systems and technical-services delivery orders where Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command issue awards at higher dollar values. The vendor's entire active footprint—$73.22 billion in combined potential value across 316 awards—is anchored to three government maritime and shipyard agencies (Navy, NOAA, Army TACOM, Coast Guard); there is no diversification into civilian or non-maritime federal sectors.
