Shine Micro, Inc.

Shine Micro, Inc., based in Port Ludlow, Washington, manufactures automatic identification system (AIS) receivers and maritime electronic equipment for the federal government as a prime contractor, with 96% of recent awards at the prime level and a dominant presence in Naval Supply Systems Command procurement.

Shine Micro is a for-profit manufacturer registered in SAM.gov since 2003, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations across the vast majority of its work — only one award in the recent portfolio carries a total small business set-aside. The company's product portfolio centers on AIS receivers for maritime and aircraft platforms, including dual AIS systems for airborne platforms, single maritime receivers, and GPS-capable tracking equipment. Primary NAICS categories reflect this focus: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (32 awards), and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (21 awards). Representative prime work includes a $27,155.94 purchase order from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary (June 2026) for seven AIS vessel tracking receivers supporting a Volpe project with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, a $75,702.48 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for automatic receivers (July 2025), and a $19,900 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (August 2023) for a dual AIS receiver for HC-27J aircraft.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward maritime and naval agencies. Naval Supply Systems Command dominates by award count (29 awards, $1 million combined potential value), while the U.S. Coast Guard leads by potential value (10 awards, $1.3 million), followed closely by the Coast Guard's parent organization, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (2 awards, $1.3 million). These three customers account for 86% of combined potential value across all awards. Other active customers include Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, Information Warfare Systems Command, and Pacific Fleet Forces.

Activity has rebounded sharply in 2025 (eight awards) after a flat period in 2023–2024 (two awards per year), though the most recent award is very recent (June 2026). Combined potential value across 97 awards stands at $5 million, with $4.7 million (94%) obligated. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $32 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, Shine Micro delivers AIS receivers to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems on a task order supporting Marine Corps AIS kit operation and integration (November 2025), to Amentum Services on aircraft maintenance and logistics support services (September 2025), to The Boeing Company on MQ-25 aerospace support (August 2025), and to General Atomics on MQ-9B production FMS Taiwan (January 2024). The company operates its manufacturing at Port Ludlow, Washington; performance locations extend across multiple Navy and Coast Guard sites, with some work delivered to Cambridge, Massachusetts and Port Gamble, Washington.
