Tent Company Of Norfolk LLC

Tent Company Of Norfolk LLC, doing business as Tent Co Of Norfolk LLC, manufactures and supplies shelter and weather-protection products — tents, canopy frames, and specialized hatch covers — to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive procurements. The company is a woman-owned small business (WOSB) organized as a limited liability corporation, headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, and competes across a mix of set-aside categories (total small business set-asides dominate the award record) and unrestricted competitions, with all eleven awards in the source record as prime contracts or IDVs.

Tent Company's capability footprint centers on flexframe tents, ambassador and event tents, large tents with sidewalls, canopy frames, and specialized marine products such as hatch covers for Virginia Class submarines. Recent representative work includes a $27,725 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Navy (November 2025) for 10 Logistics Plug Truck hatch covers and 5 Logistics Escape Tank hatch covers manufactured from grey Sunbrella material with double-stitched seams and chain zippers, delivery to Naval Submarine Base New London by March 2026; a $39,655 purchase order from US Fleet Forces Command (April 2022) for canopy frames; and a $20,250 purchase order from the Department of the Navy (May 2022) for dog shacks designed to protect electronic equipment from weather.

The vendor's customer base spreads across eight federal agencies. By award count and combined potential value, the top customers are the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (2 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy (2 awards, $48 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of State Bureau of African Affairs (2 awards, $23 thousand combined potential value), accounting for 73% of the award count and 96% of combined potential value. A gap exists between award volume and dollars: the Navy places multiple orders at lower unit values, while the GSA schedule contract anchors the dollar concentration.

Tent Company holds a seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded May 2026, five-year term through May 2031, $1 million ceiling), a multi-agency vehicle supporting Army, Navy, Department of State, Veterans Health Administration, and Department of Justice procurement. The company operates nationally from its Chesapeake, Virginia headquarters. Activity has remained modest — one to three awards per year over the past five years, with 11 total awards carrying combined potential value of $1.3 million and obligated dollars of $183 thousand across the award portfolio. The vendor holds no subcontractor positions in the source record; all work is performed as prime.
