Premier Scaffold, Inc.

Premier Scaffold, Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Bakersfield, California, delivers commercial industrial scaffolding services—onload, assembly, certification, modification, disassembly, and offload—to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards) operating through indefinite-delivery contracts and task orders, with approximately 13% of volume routed through subcontractor engagement with BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc.

The company's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of the Navy. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) anchors the portfolio at 358 awards valued at $22 million combined potential value (66% of all awards), while the United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) accounts for 143 awards worth $10.9 million (43% of all awards). The remaining four customer agencies—the U.S. Coast Guard, Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and the Army Corps of Engineers—represent minimal volume. The concentration is stark: the top two Navy commands represent 100% of combined potential value across all awards.

Premier Scaffold holds two principal parent vehicle platforms. The Scaffolding Services Onboard Navy Ships IDIQ, awarded by NAVSEA on March 2, 2026, carries a ceiling of $3.8 million as a multiple-award, Total Small Business set-aside contract running through January 4, 2031. Through July 2026, this vehicle has generated 251 task orders (recognized as delivery orders in Navy nomenclature) collectively valued at approximately $4 million. A second vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract N4002721D1003 with United States Fleet Forces Command—has supported 155 task orders carrying $4.6 million in combined potential value. Both vehicles operate on firm fixed-price delivery order structures with completion windows typically measured in weeks to months, placing scaffolding work on specific vessels (guided missile destroyers, littoral combat ships, amphibious assault ships, amphibious transport docks, cruisers, and other combatants) at Naval Station Mayport, Florida (Atlantic operations) and San Diego Ship Repair facilities, California (Pacific operations).

Recent award activity shows decline: 89 awards in 2022, climbing to 148 in 2023, then falling to 117 in 2024, 70 in 2025, and 44 through July 2026. Only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $81 thousand, indicating minimal recompete exposure ahead. The portfolio's primary NAICS split is 259 awards under "Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing" and 225 under "Ship Building and Repairing," with 25 classified under "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors." PSC coding skews toward scaffolding equipment (273 awards) and non-nuclear ship repair designations (160 awards combined).

In its subcontractor role, Premier Scaffold delivers scaffolding labor and services to BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc., performing work on USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62), USS Kansas City (LCS-22), USS Mustin (DDG-89), USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125), and USS Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG-123). Sub-awards are sparse (68 total) and center on direct-cost labor and material support for BAE Systems' ship repair and modernization contracts.

Premier Scaffold competes predominantly full-and-open on NAVSEA's Scaffolding Services Onboard Navy Ships IDIQ (designated Total Small Business set-aside) and the U.S. Fleet Forces Command Atlantic scaffolding IDIQ. The woman-owned small business certification is central to capture strategy; many individual delivery orders carry "Total Small Business set-aside" or "no set-aside" designations, but the underlying parent IDIQs themselves are reserved for small business. The company does not appear in full-and-open competitive awards outside Navy scaffolding work. Recent expansion into the Army Corps of Engineers (October 2025, $23 thousand for cantilever scaffolding rental at McNary Lock and Dam, Oregon) and Army Materiel Command ($241 thousand combined across two awards) signals early diversification, but Navy work remains the strategic core.
