Pemco-Naval Engineering Works Inc.

Pemco-Naval Engineering Works Inc., a Pascagoula, Mississippi-based small-business manufacturer, supplies specialized maritime equipment and naval vessel components to the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency primarily as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards), with secondary engagement as a subcontractor on destroyer and amphibious assault ship construction programs.

Pemco-Naval is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that manufactures fluid control components, watertight scuttles, sonar dome assemblies, and damage control systems under primary NAICS categories 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), 332321 (Hardware Manufacturing), and 332312 (Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing). The vendor has held SAM.gov registration since 2001 and competes across a mix of set-aside (Total Small Business) and unrestricted purchase orders. Recent representative prime awards include a $182,865 firm fixed-price order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a sonar dome watertight scuttle for USS Cole (DDG-67) under Total Small Business set-aside (June 2025); a $182,865 order for upper and lower sonar dome scuttles for USS Porter (DDG-78) under Total Small Business set-aside (April 2025); a $93,365 order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a scuttle lower sonar dome component (Part Number 803-6397259) for USS McFaul (DDG-74) with no set-aside (December 2025); and a $91,900 Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime order for orifice plates (NSN 4730014870338) under Total Small Business set-aside (April 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily Navy-weighted. Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 111 awards with $2 million combined potential value, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime with 103 awards and $1.1 million combined potential value. Together these two agencies represent 87% of recent award count and 94% of combined potential value. Secondary customers include Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces (12 awards, $341 thousand), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (19 awards, $210 thousand), and Department of the Navy Atlantic Fleet Forces (14 awards, $145 thousand).

The vendor's subcontractor footprint centers on Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and National Steel and Shipbuilding Company on major capital ship construction. Recent sub-awards through Huntington Ingalls include work on DDG-51 class ship construction (FY18–FY22 and FY23–27 programs), LPD-30 and LPD-31 landing platform dock construction, and LHA-8 and LHA-9 amphibious assault ship detail design and construction, with sub-award dates spanning June 2023 through December 2025. National Steel and Shipbuilding Company sub-awards target detail design and construction for T-AO 205 (oiler) non-specification material (March and October 2025). Pemco-Naval supplies specialized components—scuttles, valve assemblies, restrictive devices, and fluid control systems—as part of these larger shipbuilding efforts.

Activity volume has grown unevenly. Awards per year show 13 in 2022, 15 in 2023, 14 in 2024, and 24 in 2025, with only two awards recorded for 2026 to date. Combined potential value across all 297 awards sits at $4.1 million, though combined obligated dollars reached $6.2 million (151% of potential value), indicating significant contract utilization. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $185 thousand), creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's commodity mix reflects deep specialization in naval propulsion, damage control, and fluid management systems: marine hardware and hull items (65 awards), hose and pipe fittings (42 awards), valves (27 awards), fasteners such as screws and nuts (24 awards), and miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (14 awards).
