About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

QED Systems, Inc., a Virginia Beach–based small business subchapter S corporation, provides hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) systems engineering, ship maintenance, repair, and modernization services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on a $63.94 billion combined-potential-value award portfolio spanning over 6,100 prime and sub awards since 1980. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open and under total small business set-asides, with 98% of awards held as prime contracts; recent activity shows 145 prime awards in 2024 and 94 in 2025 across NAVSEA, Fleet Forces Command, Military Sealift Command, and Naval Supply Systems Command.

QED Systems' concrete capability footprint centers on non-nuclear production support, touch labor production services, marine boatyard and industrial support, hull-mechanical-electrical repairs and modernization, and specialized engineering installations aboard naval vessels. Representative work includes a $381.8 million CNO availability execution support contract awarded March 1, 2024, for specification development and execution services across LHA, LHD, CG, DDG, LCS, LSD, and LPS ship classes through February 28, 2029 (FY2024 invoicing of $24.6 million across 174 FTEs at $67.88/hr blended rate); a $114 million production support MAC IDIQ at Norfolk Naval Shipyard awarded March 9, 2026, for maritime trades labor across electrician, pipefitter, machinist, painter, rigger, and shipfitter positions; a $1.143 billion fast attack submarine non-critical systems engineering IDIQ awarded September 2, 2025; and a $555.8 million Littoral Combat Ship maintenance and modernization multiple-award contract awarded May 23, 2025, for San Diego–homeported vessels. QED Systems holds or has been awarded positions on 12 named indefinite-delivery vehicles including OASIS+ Small Business and Unrestricted (GSA), three Navy production-support MAC IDIQs, East Coast and West Coast General Ship Repair contracts with Military Sealift Command, and specialized engineering support contracts with NAVSEA for HM&E systems, boatyard services, and submarine availabilities.

Customer concentration is extreme and defense-centric. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 1,460 awards valued at $25.05 billion (39% of combined potential value), with additional volume from U.S. Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (455 awards, $281.1 million), Military Sealift Command (56 awards, $461.6 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (41 awards, $58 million), and Naval Air Systems Command (29 awards, $93.5 million). The top five Navy billing entities account for 91% of awards; Navy entities collectively represent over 90% of combined potential value. Geographic scope includes Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Norfolk, and San Diego as primary performance locations, with work worldwide on naval vessels CONUS, OCONUS, and in hostile areas as required.

On federal services contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory (SCI) above the $150,000 threshold, QED Systems invoiced $93 million across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 reaching $43.6 million across 291 FTEs. SCI-reported hourly rates on prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $14.41/hr to a median of $67.88/hr and a 90th percentile of $97.85/hr, reflecting a labor mix spanning entry-level administrative and technical trades through senior engineering and management roles. Across prime SCI contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 25% of contractor hours, with 37 named subcontractors spanning labor augmentation (Shipyard Staffing LLC, CTR Government Services Group, Aerotek, Contract Technical Resources Corporation), specialized maritime services (HII Fleet Support Group LLC, Valkyrie Enterprises LLC, Noblis MSD LLC), and component procurement (California Marine Supply Inc., Jo-Kell Inc., Wing Inflatables Inc., Enginetec Inc.). QED Systems operates as a prime on 98% of recent awards and subcontracts to major defense integrators including Huntington Ingalls, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and Serco on specialized ship systems, engineering design, and range instrumentation support work.

On the GSA Schedule (GS23F0200K), QED Systems holds 31 active labor categories spanning from Typist ($30.15/hr, high school equivalent) through Technical Manager ($165.75/hr, bachelor's degree, 8 years experience), with no cleared positions. A $221,992 project grant from NAVSEA under the Improvement of Navy Ship Repair or Alterations Capability Program (CFDA 12.031), effective October 1, 2025–October 2, 2030, funds targeted marine electrician workforce development and training within QED Systems' Virginia Technical Services Division to address gaps in fiber optic and multipin connector repair capabilities and reduce subcontracting reliance.

Activity has been volatile. Awards peaked at 145 in 2024, declining to 94 in 2025 and 13 YTD in 2026 (as of April 13, 2026). Within the next twenty-four months, 49 awards valued at $103.6 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete risk. QED Systems has not received federal grants as a recipient entity—only the single NAVSEA workforce development project grant noted above. The vendor's award portfolio is concentrated in Ship Building and Repair NAICS (1,563 awards) and Engineering Services NAICS (857 awards), with top PSC codes in Marine Engineering, Professional/Engineering Support, and Non-Nuclear Ship Repair (East).
