Orion Strategic Solutions, LLC

Orion Strategic Solutions, LLC, a Chesapeake, Virginia-based 8(a) certified women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, delivers calibration and metrology laboratory services, aviation technical support, logistics, and maritime equipment maintenance to the Department of the Navy and Department of Transportation as a prime contractor (84% of recent awards). The company holds certifications as an SBA 8(a) Program Participant, Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and self-certifies as a Small Disadvantaged Business. Orion operates two named subsidiaries — O & A Technical Services LLC and O&A Solutions LLC — both structured as minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned small business joint ventures with identical designations.

Orion's customer base is concentrated with the Department of the Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 8 awards with combined potential value of $4.01 billion, anchored by a $4 billion multiple-award SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort-NXG) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract awarded January 2, 2025, running through January 1, 2029. NAVSEA also awarded Orion a $3.44 million single-award Competitive 8(a) Indefinite Delivery Contract on June 12, 2025, for calibration and metrology laboratory services at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport and the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center, requiring 6.0 full-time equivalent personnel across 24 measurement fields. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) represents 3 awards totaling $16.4 million, including a $4.01 million Competitive 8(a) Sole Source purchase order for logistics and aviation equipment support awarded February 28, 2024. The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration issued 5 awards worth $2.5 million for Ready Reserve Force logistics and spare parts support, including a $1.596 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract. The U.S. Marine Corps awarded a $231,294 Competitive 8(a) purchase order on January 7, 2026, for aviation technical support to I Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Forces Pacific at Camp Pendleton, California. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service awarded Orion a $2 million Federal Supply Schedule contract (SIN 541330EMI, Engineering Services) on September 29, 2025, extending through September 28, 2030.

Orion's capability portfolio centers on calibration and metrology services, maritime logistics and spare parts procurement, and naval aviation equipment support. The GSA Schedule contract carries a 13-category labor portfolio spanning engineering technicians, project managers, logistics managers, and senior program managers, with hourly rates ranging from $40.09 to $131.88. Entry-level engineering technicians are priced at $40.09 per hour (high school education, two years' experience); senior project and logistics management roles command $62.35 to $86.63 per hour and typically require security clearance; senior program managers reach $131.88 per hour (bachelor's degree, 10 years' experience).

On the SeaPort-NXG vehicle, Orion holds a three-task-order footprint valued at $12.4 million, delivering technical services, asset management, cyclic rework, systems engineer installations and removals, and knowledge transfer on aviation support equipment and test benches. Recent representative awards include a $12.41 million no-set-aside delivery order from NAVAIR under SeaPort-NXG for support at Naval Air Systems Command through September 27, 2031, and delivery orders for calibration services at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center ranging from $5,500 to $3.12 million. Under the NAVSEA single-award IDC for calibration and metrology, Orion has issued two delivery orders: a $3.12 million firm-fixed-price task order for material coordination and calibration (completion June 13, 2030) and a $5,500 time-and-materials task order for additional calibration services (August 23, 2025 completion).

Activity has accelerated in recent years — two awards in 2021, five in 2023, two in 2024, seven in 2025, and three through early 2026. Combined potential value across all nineteen awards stands at $4.03 billion, though only $13.3 million has been obligated to date (0% of potential). Only one award, the Marine Corps purchase order valued at $231,294, completes within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete risk. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity — Orion reports zero SCI-reportable invoiced revenue on prime records and appears primarily as a named subcontractor to Avmac LLC (3 sub-awards spanning aircraft maintenance, painting, and administrative support delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard, 2021–2024). Across the subcontract footprint visible in SCI, Orion delivered roughly 24 FTEs in FY2024 but zero prime FTEs in FY2023, signaling that SCI-reportable work is predominantly sub-work rather than prime-led service delivery.

Orion's set-aside posture spans both competitive and sole-source 8(a) awards (particularly with NAVAIR and NAVSEA) and full-and-open federal procurement (the no-set-aside SeaPort-NXG contract and the GSA Schedule placement). The company's ownership structure and multi-certification portfolio — 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB — position it competitively across defense and civilian small-business reserved vehicles and set-aside-eligible federal procurement.

Orion delivers mission-critical logistics, aviation maintenance & support equipment services, ship repair & alteration installations, and metrology & calibration support for U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and federal maritime programs such as MARAD. As an SBA 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB, we support readiness across air, sea & shore platforms through proven performance and technical depth.

We have provided spare parts procurement and warehouse management for 50+ MARAD Ready Reserve Force vessels, lifecycle support for aviation Support Equipment across 27 IMAs & 10 CVNs under CNAL, HM&E ship alterations/installations (NSWCPD), O- & I-Level F/A-18 maintenance for MAG-11, aircraft paint support for USCG ALC, and TMDE calibration across 24 measurement fields for NUWC.

We combine technical execution with small-business agility to deliver responsive sustainment support - on time and within scope.
