About the company
Survival Systems USA Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business headquartered in Groton, Connecticut, manufactures aircraft components and delivers water survival and helicopter egress training to the federal government as a prime contractor across 430 awards, operating entirely on full-and-open competition without set-aside designations despite holding SBA certifications.
The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and Hispanic American-owned entity with two core capability streams grounded in its award footprint. The first stream is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply of MH-60T helicopter components—lighting string assemblies, battery packs, light tube assemblies, mounting tracks, brackets, controller assemblies, and fasteners—supporting the Coast Guard's fleet maintenance and operational readiness. The second is specialized aviation training: Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), Shallow Water Egress Training (SWET), and sea survival instruction delivered to military personnel and international allies. Representative prime work includes a $14.74 million definitive contract (February 2025) from the Naval Air Warfare Center for procurement and delivery of seven multi-use egress trainers for the U.S. Marine Corps with completion through December 2029; a $4.20 million definitive contract (January 2025) from the Department of the Army for aquatics instruction and flight training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky through December 2027; a $3.35 million definitive contract (December 2021) from Air Mobility Command for buoy replacement and SERE underwater egress training equipment service lease support through December 2026; and steady task-order activity under Coast Guard and Air Force IDIQs for MH-60T spare parts and Israeli Air Force sea survival training.
Customer concentration is split between high-volume, lower-dollar work and fewer, larger prime opportunities. The Coast Guard dominates by award count with 202 awards ($11.4 million combined potential value), reflecting consistent small delivery orders for MH-60T components averaging under $50,000 each. The Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center ranks second in count (20 awards) but first in dollars ($28.5 million), anchored by the $14.74 million multi-use egress trainer contract and a $647,971.92 purchase order (February 2026) for nine MSWET devices for the Naval Aviation Survival Training Program. Air Mobility Command contributes $10.6 million across seven awards. The Air Force's Air Education and Training Command delivers $8.2 million across 36 awards, primarily Israeli Air Force sea survival training delivery orders. The Army accounts for $6.4 million across 17 awards. These five agencies represent 84% of combined potential value across 292 awards.
Survival Systems USA Inc. holds two primary IDVs: a $3.88 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Coast Guard through November 2028 for MH-60T spare parts procurement, with 22 task orders documented and ongoing issuance of component orders ranging from $11 to $798,048; and a $2.60 million single-award IDIQ with Air Education and Training Command through December 2026 for Israeli Air Force sea survival training, with multiple delivery orders issued between $70,000 and $240,000. The company also sits on several Air Force Air Mobility Command and Air Education and Training Command indefinite delivery vehicles (contracts FA300205D0004, FA300222D0004, FA300210D0005, and others) supporting air training and SERE equipment support.
The vendor's award footprint reflects steady activity with recent modulation: 2022–2024 showed consistent annual volume (19, 16, and 22 awards respectively), with 8 awards in 2025 and 6 through mid-2026. Seven awards totaling $8.6 million in combined potential value reach completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure primarily on smaller Coast Guard component delivery orders and one Army training contract. By NAICS and PSC, the portfolio concentrates in aircraft parts manufacturing (96 awards under NAICS 336413), flight training (91 awards), and miscellaneous machinery manufacturing and relay/control equipment (63 and 42 awards respectively); PSC concentration centers on electric vehicular lights and fixtures (47 awards), education and training services (46 awards), and training aids (38 awards). The company manufactures or sources small- to mid-size components domestically (Poquonock Bridge, Connecticut is the primary place of performance) and operates training facilities in Connecticut and Texas, with overseas performance in Canada, Honduras, and South Korea supporting international military customer training programs and Army Pacific Command requirements.
