Omega Marine Refrigeration LLC

Omega Marine Refrigeration LLC, a Norfolk, Virginia-based self-certified small disadvantaged business, provides heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) repair and maintenance services to the Department of the Navy, Department of Commerce, and Department of the Army as a prime contractor on federal maritime vessels, with 90% of recent awards held as prime contracts on small-business set-asides.

The vendor operates as a limited-liability partnership structured for small disadvantaged business posture, competing under Total Small Business set-asides on roughly half its recent prime awards and full-and-open on the remainder. Core capability centers on HVACR plant repairs, emergency maintenance, component replacement, pressure testing, and system inspection across military vessels, naval logistics support vessels (LSV), Military Sealift Command cargo and transport ships, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessels. Representative recent work includes a $28,125 Total Small Business purchase order from NOAA on March 26, 2026, to replace an oil pump and troubleshoot compressor high-temperature issues aboard the NOAA Ship Pisces at Port Republic, New Jersey; a $154,116 Total Small Business purchase order from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command in May 2024 for marine chiller repairs to the U.S. Army Logistics Support Vessel SSGT Robert T. Kuroda at Pearl Harbor; and an $88,200 full-and-open purchase order from Military Sealift Command in October 2025 for HVAC repairs to the USNS CODY in Virginia Beach.

Customer concentration sits with maritime defense and civilian oceanographic agencies. Military Sealift Command dominates the footprint, accounting for 8 awards and $271 thousand in combined potential value (about 40% of all dollars). TACOM, NOAA, and Army Pacific Command round out the active set; the two rankings by award count and potential value diverge notably—TACOM holds the second-largest dollar value on only two awards, signaling higher-value individual contracts—while NOAA places more frequent but smaller-dollar orders. Combined potential value across 21 prime and sub awards since 2018 stands at $670 thousand, with $857 thousand obligated to date (128% of ceiling, reflecting scope growth and change orders). Activity has averaged three to four awards per year since 2022, flat to declining, with most recent work concentrated in 2025–2026.

The vendor holds one parent vehicle seat on the Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Zone 3 contract. Omega also performs subcontract work: in March 2026, it provided air-conditioning chiller repairs as a sub on ship management services for Ship Group 19 (BENAVIDEZ), and in September 2024 it performed unprogrammed dry-dock and repair work on the U.S. Army Logistics Support Vessel 2 under prime contractor HII Fleet Support Group LLC. NAICS footprint aligns with maritime repair and HVAC services (Ship Building and Repairing, Plumbing/Heating/Air-Conditioning Contractors), with PSC codes 9H42 (refrigeration/air-conditioning equipment maintenance) and 9H43 (ship and marine equipment maintenance) accounting for sixteen of twenty-one awards.
