Prime Time Coatings, Inc.

Prime Time Coatings, Inc., a women-owned small business (WOSB) based in National City, California, provides nonskid deck coating removal and installation, surface preservation, and interior/exterior paint application services to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on delivery orders and as a subcontractor on depot-level maintenance work. The company is SBA-certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business, self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and holds Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) designation; it operates as a Subchapter S corporation and manufacturer of goods with minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned profiles.

Prime Time Coatings' federal work is almost entirely concentrated with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which accounts for 109 of 111 recent awards and $56.5 million of the $57 million combined potential value. The remaining awards include a $359 thousand pump and motor repair contract from the Bureau of Reclamation and a $50 thousand epoxy removal job from Naval Air Warfare Center. The company holds two significant small-business-set-aside IDIQ contracts with NAVSEA: a $38.4 million nonskid deck covering services contract (running through April 2026) and a $10 million commercial industrial services preservation contract (through November 2026), both reserved for 50-mile radius work around San Diego. Representative delivery-order work includes a $739 thousand nonskid deck removal and installation order for USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), a $430 thousand nonskid deck order for USS Comstock (LSD-45), and a $1.2 million nonskid work order for USNS John L. Canley (ESB-6). The company also performs smaller task orders ranging from $3 thousand to $200 thousand across aircraft carriers, guided missile destroyers, dock landing ships, littoral combat ships, and Landing Craft Air Cushion vessels homeported in the San Diego region.

Activity has grown substantially: from 12 awards in 2022 to a peak of 44 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show moderating volume (22 and 4 awards respectively, the latter partial-year). The company competes predominantly under set-aside categories; roughly half of recent delivery orders carry Total Small Business or WOSB set-aside designations, while the remainder are issued under the same IDIQ vehicles at full-and-open pricing. Prime Time Coatings operates primarily as a prime contractor (80% of awards), delivering its own labor and materials for nonskid application, surface preparation, coating removal, and preservation work. The SCI dataset captures only three service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, all as a named subcontractor across FY2022–FY2024, indicating most federal revenue flows through delivery-order work on NAVSEA IDIQ vehicles rather than service contract reporting channels.

In its subcontractor capacity, Prime Time Coatings performs preservation and nonskid work under primes including Epsilon Systems Solutions (multiple ship-class maintenance work items), Metro Machine Corp (aircraft carrier preservation), BAE Systems Land & Armaments (MK 38 gun system maintenance), Vigor Marine (structural and preservation services on surface combatants), and Delphinus Engineering (flooring and hose piping services on naval vessels). The company also subcontracts to East Coast Repair & Fabrication and Life Cycle Engineering on Navy ship maintenance delivery orders. This sub engagement profile reflects a mixed teaming approach: Prime Time Coatings primes the majority of work it pursues directly with NAVSEA, but scales into larger ship-class availability and modernization programs by subcontracting specialized preservation and coating labor to established shipyard and depot-maintenance primes. Place of performance is consistently San Diego and surrounding Camp Pendleton locations within the 50-mile IDIQ radius, with one exception being the Bureau of Reclamation pump repair performed in Hermiston, Oregon.
