Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc.

Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a for-profit manufacturer and distributor of specialized rigging equipment and maritime supplies. The company serves as a reliable federal contractor providing wire rope, chain hoists, winches, deck equipment, and associated rigging components to support naval operations, ship maintenance, waterway infrastructure development, and dredging activities. Since its registration in SAM.gov in July 2002, Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc. has established itself as a qualified vendor for federal agencies requiring specialized maritime and infrastructure support equipment.

Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc. has received over 20 prime federal contract awards since 2019, primarily through firm fixed-price purchase orders from the Naval Sea Systems Command, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The company's deliverables have encompassed wire rope in various specifications and sizes, chain hoists ranging from $2,368 to $3,520 per unit, deck barge winches for dredge operations, mooring chain, wire cable, and complete wire rope assemblies manufactured according to detailed specifications and drawings. Contract values have ranged from approximately $2,300 to $197,960, with many awards designated as total small business set-asides, though the company also regularly receives non-set-aside procurements. Performance locations have primarily centered in Houston, Texas, where the company maintains its manufacturing operations, though some deliveries have extended to Memphis, Tennessee, and Vermont for specialized projects. The company's customer base reflects its expertise across federal maritime and civil works sectors, with Naval Sea Systems Command awarding the majority of smaller-value purchase orders for chain hoists and wire rope products, while the Army Corps of Engineers has awarded larger-value contracts for cable, winches, and wire rope assemblies supporting dredging and waterway infrastructure initiatives.

Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc. currently holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District, valued at $500,000 with a ceiling completion date of August 1, 2028. This indefinite delivery vehicle, awarded on August 27, 2024, establishes Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc. as a sole-source provider of rigging supplies to the Huntington District and contains no small business set-aside designation. Under this BPA, the company is authorized to supply wire rope, chain hoists, winches, deck equipment, wire cables, wire slings, and snatch blocks to support the Huntington District's waterway infrastructure, dredging operations, and maritime projects. The agreement provides the government with operational flexibility to place task orders against the established pricing structure as requirements emerge, leveraging the company's demonstrated expertise in federal maritime and infrastructure support. This BPA represents a significant relationship with USACE and underscores Sullivan Wire Rope & Rigging Inc.'s position as a qualified, long-term supplier for the government's critical rigging and maritime equipment needs.
