Protospace MFG USA Inc.

Protospace MFG USA Inc. manufactures custom fabricated metal enclosures and precision components for federal customers as a prime contractor on small purchase orders, competing without set-aside protection. The Wilmington, North Carolina-based company is a for-profit manufacturer that self-identifies as a small disadvantaged business and has earned five prime awards and one subcontract totaling $2.4 million in combined potential value across six awards over the past two years.

The Federal Aviation Administration dominates Protospace's customer base, accounting for four awards ($2.4 million combined potential value) and 100% of the vendor's documented federal revenue. These awards span fabricated enclosures for Communication Remote Maintenance & Monitoring (CRMM) Second-Level Engineering equipment builds — including custom 2U enclosures, AC control units, and DC control units — procured through firm fixed-price purchase orders. The largest single award, issued June 1, 2026, carries a ceiling of $2.1 million and runs through May 31, 2027; three prior FAA orders from March, April, and April 2026 each procured AC control enclosures with June 30, 2026 completion dates and smaller individual values ($31 thousand to $148 thousand). A separate $20 thousand purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded November 2024, completed December 2024) procured SCALPSS 1.X camera brackets. Work is performed at the contractor's Cape Fear, North Carolina facility.

Protospace's capability footprint centers on sheet metal fabrication and enclosure design, with production concentrated in electrical and electronic equipment components (top NAICS: Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals; top PSC: Electrical And Electronic Properties Measuring And Testing Instruments). In its one documented subcontract role, Protospace delivered machined parts and assemblies to CACI Inc. Federal in August 2024 to support 309th Electronics Maintenance legacy system rehosting work at the Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Complex. Activity shows two awards in 2024 and four in 2026; one award ($2.1 million) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor does not occupy a position on any named governmentwide acquisition contract or indefinite-delivery vehicle; all work derives from direct purchase orders.
