Graham Corp

Graham Corp, a Batavia, New York–based manufacturer of precision-engineered defense components, operates as a prime contractor (82% of awards) and subcontractor supplying specialized mechanical assemblies for naval propulsion and maritime systems, competing predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements, with roughly 70% of federal awards carrying no small business designation. The company is a parent entity registered in SAM.gov since 2001, with four named subsidiaries: Barber-Nichols, LLC; P3 Technologies, LLC; Flacktek Sales, LLC; and Flacktek Sales, Inc.

Graham Corp's federal footprint centers on naval thermal-management and propulsion-support components. The vendor manufactures ejectors (first-stage and air ejector types), condenser shells, tube bundle and tubesheet assemblies, nozzles (steam, spray, and ejector jet variants), gaskets, strainers, and impingement tubes for submarine and surface-vessel systems. Representative prime work includes a $1.43 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded April 2025) for the manufacture and delivery of six bundle assemblies (NSN 7H-4420-016673937-PP) with completion in July 2026; a $749,957 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (August 2023) for manufacture of a first-stage ejector under Emergency Acquisition Authority; and a $243,940 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2022) for tubesheet components performed in Portsmouth, Virginia. Place of performance spans Batavia, New York and Portsmouth, Virginia.

Customer concentration clusters tightly around Navy supply and logistics commands. The top five customer agencies by award count—Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (93 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command (40 awards), Department of the Navy general (25 awards), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (14 awards), and Naval Supply Systems Command (12 awards)—account for 81% of recent awards. By potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command leads with $3.1 million across 12 awards, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime at $2.5 million across 93 awards (signaling many small repeat orders). Naval Sea Systems Command ranks third at $1.1 million across 40 awards. Graham Corp also holds indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (IDC SPE7L420D61SU with 5 task orders, $57 thousand combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (IDC SPE7L220D60JP with 1 task order, $806 combined potential value).

In its subcontractor role, Graham Corp supplies propulsion-system components to major defense shipbuilders. Huntington Ingalls Inc. has engaged Graham Corp as a sub on multiple carrier-construction programs including CVN 75 Refueling and Complex Overhaul (advance planning and detailed design phases) for ejectors and condensers; CVN 80/81 Detailed Design & Construction for main-steam condensers with supporting expedite-fee and labor-funding schedule changes (eight sub-awards in August 2024). Electric Boat Corporation has subcontracted Graham Corp for SSBN 826 submarine components through streamlined changes spanning 2022–2024, with sub-awards also covering fire-control-switchboard integration and ashore telephone-system modifications. Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC has subcontracted Graham Corp for heliflow and ion-exchange heat exchangers in Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and propulsion-program support (sub-awards March 2025 and September 2025).

Award activity has been episodic. The vendor posted 23 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 19 in 2024, declining to 5 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 through early March. The combined potential value of all 226 awards (prime and sub) is $7.3 million, but invoiced obligations total $172.4 million, reflecting substantial historical performance on executed contracts and orders. Only one award faces ultimate completion and recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months, carrying $1.4 million in potential value. Graham Corp's NAICS footprint is dominated by All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (45 awards), Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (36 awards), and Engineering Services (25 awards); its PSC concentration aligns with Engine Fuel System Components Nonaircraft (37 awards), Power and Hand Pumps (37 awards), and Heat Exchangers and Steam Condensers (13 awards). The vendor competes across 22 distinct federal customer agencies, with Navy and Defense Logistics Agency work representing the overwhelming majority of federal engagement.
