About the company
Sound Testing, Inc., a woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Seattle, Washington, provides marine chemist services and gas-free confined-space certifications to the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards), with a concentrated footprint in vessel maintenance and shipyard safety operations. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on Coast Guard contracts and full-and-open procurements with Naval Sea Systems Command.
Sound Testing's capability portfolio centers on NFPA-certified marine chemist inspections, gas-free certifications, and confined-space safety validation for naval vessels and Coast Guard cutters undergoing maintenance and repair. Representative work includes a $12,735 total small business purchase order from the Coast Guard awarded September 22, 2026, for shipyard competent person training in Ketchikan, Alaska; a $4,450 total small business purchase order from the Coast Guard on October 2, 2026, for marine chemist certification of six vessel spaces aboard the CGC Alex Haley at JAG Shipyard in Seward, Alaska; and a $2,940 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command on July 14, 2026, for gas-free certification and marine chemist inspection services at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington. The company also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (ceiling $133,805, running through May 14, 2031) for marine chemist services at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Naval Base Kitsap, with gas-free certifications of three steel barges (Barge Beluga, Barge Edgecumbe, and Barge 40).
Customer concentration is stark. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command dominates by potential value (6 awards, $146 thousand, 58% of combined potential value), while the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard leads by award count (14 awards, $57 thousand). The two rankings track closely — both agencies anchor the portfolio — with the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command accounting for 3 additional awards worth $29 thousand. Together these three organizations represent 92% of combined potential value across 23 of 37 total awards.
Activity accelerated sharply in 2026, with eight awards year-to-date compared to two in 2025 and three in 2024. Combined dollars obligated ($198 thousand) slightly exceed combined potential value ($251 thousand), indicating completion of earlier awards and modest but consistent cash flow. Only one award faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. Sound Testing subcontracts to Vigor Marine LLC on Naval Sea Systems Command projects, providing marine chemist support for vessel availabilities at Naval Station Everett and USS Barry maintenance (up to $30 thousand and up to $50 thousand respectively, awarded January 30, 2024, and April 11, 2024).
