Porges Electrical Group Inc.

Porges Electrical Group Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Oceanside, California, provides fire systems maintenance, testing, certifications, and electrical installation services to the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside purchases (65% of recent awards) and as an electrical systems subcontractor on facility construction and renovation projects. The vendor operates without an explicit SBA designation in the source but competes on Total Small Business set-asides in its prime work and carries a concentrated geographic and functional footprint centered on San Diego–area military installations.

Porges' customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 95% of all awards (13 primes with $571 thousand combined potential value), with the remainder split among Department of the Navy Installations Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and the Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District. The two agencies rank identically across both award count and potential value rankings — no tension between volume and dollars — because the vendor's entire prime portfolio consists of small purchase orders rather than large IDVs or task orders. Recent prime work includes a $69,972.96 purchase order from USCG for monthly fire systems equipment testing, certifications, and inspections at Air Station and Sector San Diego (completion August 2027) and an $80,454 firm fixed-price purchase order from USCG for fire maintenance services at Sector San Diego under a Total Small Business set-aside (completion July 2026). Both awards emphasize 24-hour priority response capability and compliance with NFPA fire-safety standards.

On the subcontract side, Porges performs complete electrical, communications, and security systems installation work under R.A. Burch Construction Co., Inc. across multiple facility renovation and construction projects at Naval Base Point Loma and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, including a child development center, enlisted dormitory repair, SIMS center, and range simulation training facility. The source does not name parent vehicles for these subs; four subcontracts place work under a "Construction, Renovation, and Repair of Commercial and Institutional Building Projects 2020–2025" vehicle. Activity has been episodic — one to three awards per year across the past five years — with only one award (potential value $70 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars ($38.2 million) far exceed combined potential value ($571 thousand), indicating prior-year invoicing on closed-out or long-running awards with minimal outstanding balance. Primary NAICS classifications are Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (9 awards) and Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (7 awards), with fire-safety inspection and testing (PSC codes related to fire control equipment) dominating the operational footprint.
