About the company
Onesimus Defense LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Cottageville, South Carolina, delivers specialized safety training and instruction services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under SDVOSB set-asides on single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The firm is a for-profit limited liability company with self-certified small disadvantaged business status and operates across professional and management development training (NAICS 541612) and education/training services (PSC Education/Training–Other).
Onesimus Defense's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with the Naval Safety Center, which accounts for 206 of 242 awards (85% of volume) and $8.8 million of the $10 million combined potential value across the vendor's recent prime portfolio. Three additional federal customers — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration Aeronautical Center, and Naval Sea Systems Command — collectively represent the remaining 15% of awards but constitute less than 2% of total potential value. The Naval Safety Center relationship anchors the vendor's market position through four primary single-award SDVOSB-set-aside IDCs: the Competent Person Fall Protection Course ($2 million ceiling, performance through 2026–2027), the Machinery and Machine Guarding Course ($623,115 ceiling), a Fire Protection and Life Safety Training contract ($887,140 ceiling), and an earlier vehicle. These four vehicles alone generated 160 task orders totaling $2.7 million in combined potential value.
The vendor's award trajectory shows activity concentration in 2023 (35 awards) and earlier years, with a notable decline to 10 awards in 2024 and 15 in 2025, suggesting potential recompete pressure or customer ordering pattern shifts. Recent delivery orders span machinery operation, fall protection, and fire safety instruction delivered at Norfolk, Virginia and other Naval Safety Center facilities. Representative recent work includes a $39,222 delivery order from the Marine Corps (June 2025), multiple Naval Safety Center instruction orders ranging from $8,882 to $50,780 (issued between February 2025 and September 2024), and a $4,612 fall protection safety and rescue course purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (June 2026). All delivery orders are firm fixed-price contracts with typical completion dates aligned to the Naval Safety Center's fiscal-year instruction cycles (September 30 target dates historically).
The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract work in the source data — 100% of awards are prime contracts or IDVs. Performance locations cluster at Norfolk, Virginia and Fleet, Virginia Naval Safety Center facilities, with subordinate instruction at Navy installations including the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The vendor's capability scope is tightly bounded to specialized occupational safety instruction and does not extend into adjacent domains such as engineering, supply chain, or administrative support; this narrow footprint insulates Onesimus Defense from broader federal IT and facilities competition but also constrains growth vectors to Navy and inter-agency safety training reorders.
