Natstar Defense Inc.

Natstar Defense Inc., a certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) and women-owned small business (WOSB) based in Boca Raton, Florida, supplies precision-engineered metal components and industrial parts to the U.S. Navy and Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 253 federal awards. The company operates as a subchapter S corporation specializing in Federal Supply Classification 4730 items—hose, pipe, tubing, fittings, valves, fasteners, and specialty metal assemblies—for naval fleet maintenance and logistics operations, with 100% of its recent awards as a prime (no sub-award footprint).

Natstar's customer concentration is extreme and strategic. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) dominates the portfolio with 178 awards valued at $91 million in combined potential value—representing 97% of all awards and 96% of all dollar exposure. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 32 awards ($1.5 million), Naval Sea Systems Command for 26 awards ($1.2 million), DLA Aviation for 8 awards ($86 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for 8 awards ($361 thousand). This concentration around a single customer—NAVSUP—is the defining characteristic of Natstar's business footprint and carries recompete risk commensurate with that dependency.

The core vehicle anchoring Natstar's work is a $80 million, five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSUP, originally awarded August 30, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of April 3, 2026. This single BPA has generated 27 call orders valued at $1.9 million and establishes the framework for all subsequent NAVSUP task orders. The BPA explicitly supports recurring requirements for metal valves, pipe fittings, hose, pipe, and tubing under FSC 4730 to sustain Navy fleet maintenance. Nearly all BPA call orders issued under this vehicle carry total small business set-aside designations. Recent representative work under the BPA includes orifice plates ($17,556, December 2025), copper-nickel couplings ($17,991, July 2025), pipe elbows ($70,980, June 2024), adapter assemblies ($73,560, August 2022), and strainer bodies ($49,000, September 2022). Natstar also holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each with $250,000 ceilings, for resilient mounts, shoe clutches, and power supplies—set aside for women-owned small businesses.

Natstar's capability portfolio is narrow and product-focused. The top NAICS codes are Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (77 awards), Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing from Purchased Steel (17 awards), and Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding, and Alloying (13 awards). Recent named work includes metallic pipes ($130,555, May 2025), pipe elbows (multiple awards from $32,745 to $86,000, spanning 2025), ball valve parts kits ($131,300, March 2026), socket head cap screws ($101,640, December 2024), rotor torpedos ($568,854, August 2025), seal assemblies ($198,199, February 2024), and metal bars ($392,040, September 2024). The company manufactures to military specifications—MIL-DTL-1222 for fasteners, ANSI B16.9 for elbows, and others—with ISO 9001 quality systems compliance and first-article testing requirements on many awards. Individual call orders under the NAVSUP BPA range from $1,500 to over $190,000, with average values in the $30,000–$75,000 band.

Activity has accelerated sharply. Awards per year grew from 34 in 2022 to 59 in 2025, with 11 awards so far in 2026 (as of March 30). However, $3.1 million in combined potential value faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months—42 awards—representing moderate recompete exposure. The NAVSUP BPA itself completes April 3, 2026, which is a critical decision point: if NAVSUP recompetes the vehicle or moves procurement elsewhere, Natstar loses the core framework that has generated over 95% of its dollar value. The obligated-to-potential ratio sits at 14% ($13.5 million obligated of $94.2 million potential), indicating a significant unexecuted backlog.

Natstar competes entirely under small-business set-asides—the overwhelming majority of awards carry total small business set-aside or woman-owned small business set-aside designations. A small number of individual awards (approximately 5–10%) are non-set-aside, open-competition purchases, but these are outliers. The company's entire positioning rests on EDWOSB and WOSB certifications, which gate its access to NAVSUP and DLA vehicles. Natstar has no named teaming relationships, does not subcontract, and does not appear on larger primes' vendor rosters in the source material.

Corporate identity: Natstar Defense Inc. registered in SAM in October 2012 and has operated continuously as a supplier to naval supply chains. The company describes itself as a supplier of precision-engineered metal components and industrial parts to federal defense agencies with expertise in valves, pipe fittings, hose, pipe, and tubing components critical to naval shipboard systems and logistics supply chain support. Place of performance is predominantly Boca Raton, Florida, with one noted call order performance location in New Castle, Pennsylvania. The business is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with self-certified small disadvantaged business status.
