Niantic Tool, Inc.

Niantic Tool, Inc., doing business as Niantic Tool Co., is a small business manufacturer of precision mechanical components and naval hardware based in Niantic, Connecticut, operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across the Department of Defense and Defense Logistics Agency on firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders with no characteristic set-aside posture—awards span both small-business set-asides and full-and-open designations with roughly equal frequency.

Niantic Tool's customer footprint is highly concentrated in naval and maritime supply. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 86 awards and $10.2 million of the combined potential value across 123 total awards (98% coverage), with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime contributing 17 awards and $360 thousand. All other federal customers—including DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA Aviation, and Naval Supply Systems Command—carry minimal volume and dollar weight. The concentration reflects Niantic Tool's specialization in towed-array handling equipment, submarine-support components, and precision mechanical assemblies for undersea and naval vessel systems.

Niantic Tool's primary vehicle is a five-year, $6.66 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NAVSEA awarded in July 2023 and running through July 2028, focused on production of tensioned belt drogue deployers. This contract has generated three delivery orders totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value. Representative recent work includes a $1.18 million NAVSEA delivery order (March 2025 through July 2028) for tensioned belt drogue deployer production, a $394 thousand NAVSEA purchase order (June 2024) for drive drums, idler drums, guide clamps, and inlet guides—15 line items and 24 individual parts under NAICS 332710 (Machine Shops) and PSC 1925 (Restricted Access Parts)—a $230 thousand NAVSEA purchase order (August 2025) establishing Niantic Tool as the Navy's certified designated overhaul point for OK-542 Thinline Towed Array Handling Equipment and providing tube empty and scope limit sensors for Los Angeles-class submarines, and a $33 thousand NAVSEA purchase order (June 2025) for a TADD bellmouth/carrier assembly (Part Number 04-15-210).

The capability portfolio is grounded in precision manufacturing across machine shops, turned products, mechanical power transmission equipment, and bolts, fasteners, and hardware. Top NAICS categories include Machine Shops (60 awards), Precision Turned Product Manufacturing (15 awards), and Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (7 awards), with top PSC codes spanning Hardware Commercial (16 awards), Valves Nonpowered (14 awards), Gears and Sprockets (8 awards), and Pipe and Tubing (6 awards). Awards span sprocket wheels, rollers, hub bodies, pistons, antenna components, piping, and towed-array specialized assemblies, all tied to naval maintenance, overhaul, and undersea surveillance systems.

Activity has remained steady at three to five awards per year over the past five years, with two awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. Niantic Tool registered in SAM.gov in 2001 and carries total combined obligated value of $5.5 million against a combined potential value of $10.7 million across all 123 awards in the source data.
