Solidus Fabrication And Design LLC

Solidus Fabrication And Design LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Carnation, Washington, performs specialized metal fabrication and welding for naval vessels and Coast Guard cutters, operating as a subcontractor (86% of recent awards) on Navy ship depot maintenance and modernization programs and as a prime contractor on a single Coast Guard purchase order. The vendor competes under total small business set-asides and holds no current IDVs or parent contract vehicles.

Solidus's recent award footprint consists of seven total awards across two federal customers. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for six sub-awards under Vigor Marine LLC, the prime contractor, for USS KIDD (DDG 100) FY25 depot modernization work including bulkhead plate repair, stanchion repair and material replacement, and corrosion-hole remediation on vent bases. The vendor's single prime award is a $20,412 Coast Guard purchase order dated August 19, 2026, for fabrication and delivery of two 22-inch exhaust expansion joint assemblies for the USCGC Polar Star Main Propulsion Generator exhaust system, delivered to Seattle by September 2, 2026. The assemblies are fabricated to government-furnished drawings and ASTM F1120 standards, capable of operating at 900 degrees Fahrenheit normal temperature with 1,200-degree design rating, and subject to liquid penetrant examination of bellows pressure welds and pneumatic leak testing. Work performance takes place in Carnation, Washington.

Recent activity is light and sub-concentrated. Six awards arrived in 2025 (February through November) and one in 2026, all routed through Vigor Marine as the prime for Navy depot work except the August 2026 Coast Guard PO. The combined potential value across all seven awards is $20,000, though the combined obligated dollars reach $500,000 (reflecting higher invoiced or funded value than the original contract ceilings). The vendor's capability portfolio, grounded entirely in the Navy and Coast Guard work, centers on metal fabrication, ship-system component repair, plate and stanchion welding, and corrosion remediation — a narrow, vessel-specific domain. Customer concentration is binary: Naval Sea Systems Command dominates award count (6 of 7) while the Coast Guard holds the only visible ceiling value. Solidus subcontracts exclusively to Vigor Marine on Navy programs, with no other named prime relationships or sub-engagement diversity in the source.
