Parker Systems, Inc.

Parker Systems, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Chesapeake, Virginia, produces specialized oil spill response and environmental protection equipment as a prime contractor on federal defense and civilian procurement, with 99% of recent awards (401 of 404) in the prime role.

The company manufactures permanent and response-type oil containment booms, boom reels, boom mooring systems, tow bridles, and associated hardware primarily under NAICS 238299 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC 4240-15 (Hazardous Material Spill Containment and Clean-Up Equipment and Material). Parker Systems competes across both full-and-open and set-aside procurement — recent awards split between Total Small Business set-asides (particularly on NAVFAC BPA call orders) and unrestricted delivery orders, reflecting its woman-owned small business designation without formal 8(a) or HUBZone status. Representative recent work includes a $731,706 Total Small Business BPA Call Order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) for oil containment booms and mooring systems at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, California (awarded May 1, 2026); a $496,116 NAVFAC call order for containment equipment under the Optimal Spill Response Program (awarded September 26, 2024); and a $173,200 delivery order from NAVFAC for permanent oil containment boom and mooring systems for use in Japan (awarded September 5, 2023).

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency anchored. The top five customer entities account for 82% of the 404 total awards. Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates both award count and near-term dollars, with 223 awards and $16.8 million combined potential value; broader Department of the Navy spending (including Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Installations Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command) accounts for approximately 317 of the 404 awards. The potentialvalue ranking diverges sharply — the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery anchors $34 million (99% of combined potential value attributed to top-five customers) through a single IDV, while GSA Federal Acquisition Service contributes $19.9 million across 14 awards. Outside the Navy ecosystem, GSA and Air Combat Command represent marginal exposure.

Parker Systems holds a $33.96 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVFAC under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, awarded August 2, 2024, with ultimate completion August 1, 2026. The BPA is fully set aside for small businesses and serves as the parent vehicle for a documented stream of Total Small Business call orders. Beyond this strategic vehicle, Parker places task orders against the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0087J (244 task orders, $10.4 million combined potential value) and the broader Multiple Award Schedule vehicle umbrella (62 task orders, $43.6 million combined potential value). Two additional Federal Supply Schedules (GS07F7388C and GS07F3199A) appear in the vehicle footprint with lower task-order density.

Activity has moderated in recent years following a 2022 peak. Awards per year declined from 14 in 2022 to 7 in both 2024 and 2025, with only 1 award documented in 2026 to date. Over the source's full timespan (1981 to May 2026), Parker Systems accumulated 404 awards with $73.8 million combined potential value and $24.9 million in obligated dollars (34% realization rate). Recompete pressure is minimal — only one award carries ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing $732 thousand in potential value.

In its subcontractor role, Parker Systems supplies oil boom and tether system components to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC (two documented sub-awards in 2024 and January 2025) and provides Spillmaster Superflex permanent boom products to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (sub-award, February 2024). Sub-awards total 3 of 404 awards (approximately 1%) and are negligible to the overall footprint.

The vendor's 45-year tenure in federal environmental protection procurement reflects sustained NAVFAC reliance on its manufacturing capabilities for maritime oil spill response operations across the naval enterprise. The concentrated NAVFAC relationship, anchored by the $33.96 million BPA running through August 2026, represents both the foundation of Parker Systems' federal revenue base and its primary recompete risk point in the Navy's environmental response procurement ecosystem.
