Navmar Applied Sciences Corp

Navmar Applied Sciences Corp, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Ivyland, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime contractor (96% of awards) providing engineering services, research and development, and systems integration primarily to the Department of Defense, with a $49.61 billion combined potential value across 598 awards and concentrated exposure to Navy commands. The company holds dual SBA certifications as a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles, though several recent awards carry total small business set-aside designations.

Navmar's capability portfolio centers on unmanned aircraft systems, naval aviation engineering, sensor technologies, systems integration, and logistics quality assurance. Representative work includes a $24.8 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the Naval Air Warfare Center (March 2024) for Small Business Innovation Research Phase III development of the Volumetric Air Deployable Active Receiver (VADAR) receiver program with subcontract support from Sparton Deleon Springs and Lockheed Martin Aerostructures; a $9.1 million Naval Air Warfare Center delivery order (April 2023) for unmanned aerial systems development supporting Agile Condor and Air Force Research Laboratory programs with subcontractors including Multigp Inc., Tyonek Machining and Fabrication LLC, and Unmanned Aerospace LLC; and a $1.304 million Office of Naval Research definitive contract (March 2024) for VADAR risk reduction and integration under the AGM-86B Inertial Navigation Element program. Navmar also holds recurring quality assessment task orders under Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support BPAs, with multiple $2,000–$4,000 calls for Qualified Products List assessment services.

Customer concentration aligns tightly with Navy programs. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center dominates by combined potential value at $1.87 billion across 145 awards, followed by the Naval Sea Systems Command ($10 billion across 7 awards, though driven by large potential ceiling values rather than obligated dollars), and the Information Warfare Systems Command ($144.8 million across 88 awards). By award count, the Naval Air Warfare Center represents 82% of concentration across the top five customers, with only modest fragmentation into National Geospatial Intelligence Agency ($16.7 million across 23 awards) and Naval Air Systems Command sub-office work. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's Aberdeen Proving Ground shows $37.4 billion combined potential value across 2 awards, signaling large-ceiling IDVs rather than sustained activity volume.

Navmar's vehicle position centers on two marquee Naval Air Warfare Center Indefinite Delivery Vehicles: a $249.7 million multiple-award IDIQ (N6600198D5005, awarded March 2022, expiring March 2032) for systems engineering and design services under the NAVAIR RAPID MAC MA-IDIQ program, with 59 task orders placed, and a $9.5 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (N6833510G0026, awarded July 2022, expiring September 2027) for SBIR Phase III research and development on MQ-1C Gray Eagle and VADAR systems, with 15 task orders valued at $179.6 million combined potential. The company also holds a $5 million multiple-award BPA from Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for Qualified Products List auditing (awarded August 2022, expiring August 2027) and a $250,000 multiple-award BPA from DLA Troop Support for quality assessment services (awarded September 2022, expiring September 2024). Additional vehicles include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N6600104D0013) with 49 task orders valued at $1.7 million combined potential and SSC Pacific Lifecycle and Engineering Services vehicle with 40 task orders worth $28 million combined potential.

Recent activity has plateaued: awards per year dropped to three in 2026 (as of September 17), from eight per year in 2023–2025. Only five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $53.1 million, presenting moderate recompete exposure. The top NAICS categories are Engineering Services (174 awards) and Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (87 awards), with PSC concentration in Support-Professional Engineering/Technical work (81 awards) and R&D Defense System Electronics/Communication Equipment (128 awards across applied research, exploratory development, and advanced development tiers).

On subcontractor engagement, Navmar subcontracts to large defense primes rather than building an external subcontractor network as a prime. Named prime contractors include BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. (multiple labor-term task orders for R&D and IAP Branch work, six awards from 2022 through June 2026), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (two engineering services task orders in 2025–2026), General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. (global security engineering and supply-chain services, October 2025), and Mantech (research subcontract routed through MIT Lincoln Laboratory, November 2024). Across SCI-reportable records, the source shows only 1 service-contract record for FY2025 (8.5 FTEs as a named subcontractor), reflecting that Navmar's service-contract work is predominantly prime-delivered or classified and falls outside the SCI reporting threshold; this partial signal cannot characterize the full enterprise staffing or sub-engagement posture. As a prime, Navmar names subcontractors on SBIR Phase III delivery orders — Unmanned Aerospace LLC for H2-powered gyroplane and Phase I air vehicle development, Tyonek Services Overhaul Facility (an Alaskan Native 8(a) small disadvantaged business) for MQ-1C sustainment, and Mission Focused Systems LLC for project management and technical support — indicating selective subcontracting on technology-development work rather than a pure subcontracting delivery model.
