Noran, Inc.

Noran, Inc., doing business as Todd Marine Electrical Supply, supplies marine electrical components and equipment to the Department of the Navy and related federal maritime customers as a prime contractor (79% of recent awards) competing under both small business set-asides and full-and-open solicitations. The company is based in Norfolk, Virginia, and operates as a for-profit corporate entity with recurring work in electrical apparatus, wiring supplies, connectors, cable, lighting fixtures, and shipboard electrical system components across a thirty-year federal contracting history.

Noran's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Navy and Navy-adjacent maritime customers. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 71% of recent activity, led by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (49 awards, $354 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (9 awards, $494 thousand). By potential-value ranking, Military Sealift Command ranks first ($494 thousand), followed by Naval Sea Systems Command ($354 thousand), with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ($87 thousand), the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command Atlantic ($78 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard ($72 thousand) completing the active set. The two rankings diverge slightly — Military Sealift Command's smaller award count carries outsized value per award, while Naval Sea Systems Command dominates volume — but both signal Navy-centric exposure. Noran's NAICS footprint and PSC distribution reinforce this: electrical apparatus and equipment merchant wholesaling accounts for 44 of 146 awards, with engineering services (22 awards), other electronic component manufacturing (7 awards), and ship building and repairing (7 awards) rounding out the profile. Top PSC codes span indoor and outdoor electric lighting fixtures (22 awards), electrical hardware and supplies (13 awards), and wire and cable (11 awards).

Recent representative prime work includes a $71.6 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (Sept 2023) for shipboard electric lights delivered to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, a $27.2 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from the Coast Guard (Aug 2026) for 600 feet of continuous electrical cable for the USCGC THETIS anchor windlass system delivered to Colonna's Shipyard in Norfolk, and an $11.2 thousand small business set-aside purchase order from Military Sealift Command (Apr 2024) for electrical supplies supporting the USNS Carson City (T-EPF 7) with performance in New Orleans. Activity has accelerated from three awards in 2022 to twenty in 2025, though source data capture only three awards in 2026 to date (through mid-August).

Noran sits on several Navy-focused parent vehicles: SPAWAR Afloat C4ISR Installations 2019 (15 task orders), One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (7 task orders), and Engineering and Support Services for Hull, Mechanical and Electrical Systems (2 task orders). In its subcontractor role, Noran supplies electrical equipment and materials to prime contractors executing Navy ship modernization and C4ISR installation programs. Recent sub work includes task orders under General Dynamics Information Technology for NAWCAD Ship and Air C5ISR Systems Support (multiple awards Apr–Aug 2025), electrical equipment supply to M.c. Dean for C4ISR installation and modernization support at Mayport, Florida (Aug 2025), and electrical material supply to Serco for hardware installation of C4ISR and network systems onboard USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52) and USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) (Sept–Apr 2025). Other named sub primes include Delphinus Engineering, VT Milcom, Prism Maritime, Marine Hydraulics International, Metro Machine, HII Fleet Support Group, and Gryphon Technologies. Noran competes under both total small business set-asides and full-and-open solicitations; set-aside designation is inconsistent across the prime portfolio, though small business set-asides appear in roughly 40% of the visible prime awards.
