Riggins Company, L.C.

Riggins Company, L.C., doing business as Riggins Co LC, is a Hampton, Virginia-based metal fabrication and specialized logistics equipment supplier that operates overwhelmingly as a subcontractor (81% of 797 total awards) to defense primes, with a concentrated subcontract footprint anchored to Huntington Ingalls Inc. and Electric Boat Corporation on naval shipbuilding and submarine construction programs. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations; recent awards show no SBA certifications or minority-ownership status in the source material.

Riggins Co LC's capability portfolio centers on precision steel and aluminum structural fabrication, foundational assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and specialized components for naval vessel construction and overhaul. Prime contract work includes a $783,214 firm-fixed-price definitive contract from US Special Operations Command (awarded September 2023) for DDS (Design Data System) skid dunnage, and a $50,325 total-small-business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (July 2026) for a 1000 PSI Portable Cable Testing Unit — the latter identified as available solely through Riggins' exclusive OEM licensing. Representative subcontract work includes extensive steel and aluminum fabrication for CVN 80/81 (Gerald R. Ford-class carrier) detailed design and construction spanning dozens of foundation, ladder, jig, and deck assembly sub-awards to Huntington Ingalls since 2023; CVN 74/75 refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) advance-planning components; and SSN 804/826 submarine long-lead-time material and construction components under Electric Boat Corporation.

Customer concentration is severe. Naval Sea Systems Command dominates the portfolio at 661 awards (83% of recent award count) with $8.3 million combined potential value. NASA (primarily Langley Research Center) follows with 77 awards and $4.7 million combined value; however, the two rankings diverge sharply on dollar value — GSA Federal Acquisition Service holds one award carrying $6 million potential value, likely reflecting a vehicle position rather than an active customer relationship. The Department of the Navy broader entity, USMC, and USSOCOM round out the top five.

On parent vehicles, Riggins sits on limited formal IDIQs or GWACs. Named vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008508A1730 (4 task orders, $43 thousand combined potential), Blanket Purchase Agreement NNL06AA12Z (4 task orders, $15 thousand), a Special Operations Equipment — Tailored Logistics Support vehicle, and several single-task-order Navy IDIQs (N0016787C0017, N0018188C0219). The vendor's footprint is primarily direct subcontract flow-downs from Huntington Ingalls and Electric Boat rather than access to open-market federal vehicle work.

Activity shows extreme concentration in 2023–2024. The vendor received 8 awards in 2022, surged to 214 in 2023, peaked at 396 in 2024, then dropped to 34 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. This trajectory suggests Riggins was ramped aggressively for CVN 80/81 and RCOH component deliveries during heavy design and construction phases (2023–2024), with activity moderating as those programs moved through their delivery cycles. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff risk in the near term. Combined potential value across all awards is $27.6 million, though obligated dollars total $61.4 million — a 222% ratio indicating historical invoicing significantly exceeds remaining potential value on the current active portfolio.

Subcontract work is almost entirely routed through two primes: Huntington Ingalls Inc. (dominant partner, carrier and RCOH work) and Electric Boat Corporation (submarine construction). Riggins also holds sub-positions with Atlantic Diving Supply Inc. on hydrostatic test tank work and Applied Physical Sciences Corp on submarine capabilities technology development. NAICS concentration reflects the shipbuilding bias — 640 of 797 awards (80%) fall under Ship Building and Repairing (NAICS 336611); supporting categories include metal tank manufacturing, engineering services, and machine shops. The vendor's facility in Hampton, Virginia places it near Naval Station Norfolk and shipyard infrastructure, positioning it as a geographic and capability-focused supplier to naval construction primes rather than a broad federal contractor.
