Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc.

Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer and subsidiary of the global Rolls-Royce Group, competes as a prime contractor across the federal government in the supply of original equipment manufacturer marine propulsion components, diesel engine parts, overhauls, and technical services for U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy vessels, with no set-aside designation across its prime footprint and with over nine thousand prime awards totaling $2.8 billion in combined potential value since 2002.

Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc. is headquartered in Novi, Michigan, and operates as a manufacturer of goods and components under primary NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC J006 (Diesel Engines and Components), with secondary activity in ship repair (NAICS 336611) and engine maintenance services. The company competes in full-and-open federal procurement and does not participate in small business set-asides; its portfolio reflects sustained, high-volume transactional work with defense agencies rather than growth-phase contracting. The vendor is a subsidiary of the UK-listed Rolls-Royce Holdings plc and brings OEM manufacturing authority for MTU marine diesel engines and associated propulsion control systems to federal maritime customers.

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects the vendor's role as an OEM supplier locked into specific platform fleets. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 96% of recent awards: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads with 7,257 awards ($129.6 million combined potential value), followed by the U.S. Coast Guard (1,147 awards, $714.8 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (165 awards, $310.4 million), Military Sealift Command (341 awards, $95.7 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (104 awards, $42.2 million). By potential value, the Coast Guard dominates at 26% of portfolio dollars, anchored by four single-award indefinite delivery contracts totaling approximately $259.6 million: a $188.9 million IDC for scheduled maintenance and emergent repair on Maritime Security Cutter Large main propulsion diesel engines (November 2025–November 2035), a $48.9 million IDC for OEM parts and components supply (January 2025–January 2030), a $21.5 million IDC for propulsion control system upgrades on nine WMSL vessels (September 2025–September 2030), and a $33.7 million repair contract. The Department of the Army holds the second-largest potential value share at $549.7 million, driven by a $389.4 million Portable Propulsion Logistics and Training contract awarded February 18, 2026, extending through March 31, 2033.

The vendor sits on multiple high-transaction-volume IDCs. The top five vehicles by task-order count are Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime contracts: SPE7LX15D0065 with 5,561 task orders ($49.6 million), SPM7LX08D9028 with 1,394 task orders ($17.8 million), and three Navy vehicles (N3220513D2000, N3220520D6713, and 70Z08518D31801B00) ranging from 65 to 180 task orders each. These vehicles generate continuous small-dollar purchase orders for individual engine components, filter elements, fuel injectors, turbochargers, cylinders, seals, gaskets, and specialized parts. Delivery orders under Coast Guard IDCs showcase the vendor's core work: 24,000-hour main propulsion diesel engine overhauls ($5.3–5.7 million), 16,000-hour overhauls ($1.7–3.3 million), propulsion control system installation and upgrades ($2.4–2.6 million), and routine component repairs and replacements ($31,000–$1.9 million). A $389.4 million Army PPLT contract (definitive, firm fixed price, February 18, 2026–March 31, 2033) represents an outlier: structured propulsion logistics and training services distinct from the vendor's transactional parts-and-repair posture across Navy and Coast Guard.

Activity has remained stable year over year—126 to 162 awards annually from 2023 through 2025, declining to 92 in 2026 and 2 in 2027 (reflecting the snapshot date of October 15, 2026)—with $253.1 million in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure concentrated on Coast Guard and Navy maintenance and parts contracts. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime (99% of awards) with minimal subcontractor activity (1%, 87 awards). Named subcontract work includes long lead time material supply to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated for National Security Cutter 9 (April 2026), maintenance and repair support to Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc. for Littoral Combat Ship planned maintenance availabilities (December 2025–multiple vessels), and component supply to Vigor Marine LLC for USNS Guadalupe overhaul (August 2025) and USS Gabrielle Giffords diesel engine hose replacement (September–October 2025). Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above $150,000 (32 records, FY2022–FY2025), the dataset shows minimal reported invoicing—zero in all four fiscal years—with intermittent FTE presence (1.2 FTEs in FY2022, 2.0 in FY2024, zero in FY2023 and FY2025). This absence of SCI revenue signals that the vendor's federal delivery is predominantly goods and products (engines, components, parts, turbines) rather than labor-intensive services; SCI captures only service contracts above the threshold and excludes product sales and micro-purchases, which dominate this vendor's transactional volume. The vendor performs work at multiple locations, including Novi and Graniteville, South Carolina (component repair and remanufacturing), Alameda and Honolulu, Hawaii (Coast Guard surface forces logistics centers), and worldwide for military sealift and naval operations. Place of performance on Coast Guard IDCs spans North Charleston, Alameda, and Honolulu with worldwide emergency support; Army PPLT work is based in Novi, Michigan.
