About the company
Ocean Products Research, Inc., doing business as Ocean Products Research, manufactures and supplies specialized maritime hardware—mooring lines, synthetic ropes, fiber rope assemblies, chain assemblies, and related rigging equipment—to federal agencies as a small business prime contractor under the Total Small Business set-aside category. The Diggs, Virginia-based Subchapter S corporation competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with approximately 59 percent of recent awards designated as Total Small Business.
Ocean Products Research holds a foundational, high-volume relationship with the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command, which accounts for 60 awards valued at $18.6 million combined potential value and represents the vendor's single largest customer. The Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support Construction and Equipment division is the second-largest customer by award count at 179 awards ($11.6 million combined potential value), reflecting a steady stream of purchase orders for fiber rope assemblies and fibrous rope. The Department of Homeland Security's US Coast Guard, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, and Naval Sea Systems Command round out the top five, together covering 78 percent of combined potential value. Customer concentration is skewed toward defense maritime logistics: Military Sealift Command and DLA Troop Support together account for $30.2 million in combined potential value across 239 awards.
Recent representative work includes a $240.4 million DLA Troop Support delivery order (March 2025) for 260 units of fiber rope assembly, a $186.9 million Military Sealift Command delivery order (September 2022) for mooring lines, wire, and rope for the USNS Hershel Woody Williams, a $116.6 thousand Military Sealift Command delivery order (May 2026) for mooring lines for the USNS Robert E Simanek, and a $104.6 million US Coast Guard purchase order (May 2023) for mooring lines. Ocean Products Research recently secured a $6.48 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Military Sealift Command (September 2025, ultimate completion July 2030) under Total Small Business set-aside for mooring lines, rope, and wire products.
Activity has remained flat year over year: 13 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 27 in 2024, 27 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 through early August. The vendor operates with minimal subcontracting; across 664 total awards in the source data, only one sub-award appears—a Samson Amsteel Blue rope supply to Atlantic Diving Supply (October 2024). The vendor's top parent vehicles are the DLA Troop Support Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM8EE12D0001 (19 task orders, $1 million combined potential value), the Naval contract N3220519D9003 (17 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), and the Naval Blanket Purchase Agreement N3220513A6203 (13 task orders, $588 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's award portfolio spans 44 distinct federal agencies, with nearly all work concentrated in NAICS 314991 (Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills) and PSC 4520 (Fiber Rope, Cordage, and Twine), reflecting a highly specialized operational posture in maritime supply. Ocean Products Research has been registered in SAM since 2001 and has accumulated 664 prime federal awards with $44 million combined potential value and $22.3 million obligated to date.
