About Tencarva Machinery Company, LLC
Tencarva Machinery Company, LLC Chesapeake Division (doing business as Tencarva Machinery Co) supplies pump equipment, mechanical seals, fire pump packages, and related industrial machinery to the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies as a prime contractor on 223 of its recent 231 awards, competing full-and-open with no set-aside posture predominant across its footprint. The Chesapeake, Virginia-based company is a subsidiary of Tencarva Holdings I, Inc., a for-profit limited liability company engaged in industrial equipment distribution and service.
Tencarva's federal customer base concentrates heavily on naval maintenance and logistics. The top five funding agencies account for 81% of award volume, anchored by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (109 awards, $2 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (30 awards, $953 thousand combined potential value). Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the broader Navy enterprise, and the U.S. Coast Guard complete the active set. By dollar value, the same naval customers represent 86% of combined potential, with Defense Logistics Agency Document Services ($874 thousand across two awards) and NASA Langley Research Center ($452 thousand) introducing modest supplementary revenue.
Tencarva's capability portfolio centers on pump procurement and repair. Representative prime work includes a $192,210 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Military Sealift Command (July 2023) for replacement of Goulds AC-SW pumps on the USNS Comfort hospital ship, a $247,930 order from Naval Sea Systems Command (December 2021) for a duplex pumping skid with a total small business set-aside designation, a $198,305 fire pump package procurement from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2022), and a $140,388 order from the Military Sealift Command (September 2021) for auxiliary diesel generator pumps on the USNS Comfort. Recent 2026 awards include a $32,837 rotary pump unit delivery to DLA Distribution San Diego (October 2025), a $27,109 Goulds pump seals order for the USNS Comfort (January 2026), and a $24,875 fire main ballast pump repair for US Fleet Forces Command (April 2026). Work spans pump distribution (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers NAICS; 49 awards), direct pump manufacturing (Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing; 34 awards), field repair and maintenance (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair; 24 awards), seal manufacturing (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing; 15 awards), and naval vessel repair support (Ship Building and Repairing; 11 awards). PSC coding confirms concentration: 89 awards under Power and Hand Pumps, 29 under Compressors and Vacuum Pumps, and 13 under Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment.
Tencarva operates primarily on small-value purchase orders outside of parent vehicles; only five indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) carry multiple task orders, with the largest — Indefinite Delivery Contract N0018907A0169 — showing 14 task orders for $107 thousand combined potential value. Activity has averaged eight to thirteen awards per year over the past five years, with a slight decline trajectory (eight awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, seven in 2024, nine in 2025, two through mid-2026). The vendor faces minimal recompete pressure, with only one award (combined potential value $25 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months.
Tencarva subcontracts on naval carrier and carrier overhaul programs through Huntington Ingalls Inc. on CVN-class carrier detailed design and construction, refurbishment, and planned maintenance work, including pump refurbishment and pulsation dampener engineering since January 2025. The vendor also subcontracts to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics on task orders for vacuum pump and flygt pump supply and service since April 2024. Combined obligated dollars ($6.6 million) exceed combined potential value ($5.5 million), signaling that invoiced work on closed purchase orders exceeds current ceiling valuations — characteristic of a vendor operating on firm fixed-price task orders where final invoices are known.
