About the company
The Sexton Corporation, doing business as The Sexton Corp, designs and manufactures custom underwater camera systems, pressure housings, and specialized electronic components for marine research and fisheries applications, operating as a small-business prime contractor (90% of recent awards) on purchase orders and definitive contracts with federal marine science agencies. Based in Salem, Oregon, The Sexton Corp is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and manufacturer of goods that competes under total small business set-asides on roughly half its awards and full-and-open on the remainder — the company demonstrates no pattern of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA designations across its footprint.
The Sexton Corp's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 29 of 36 prime awards (74% of the award count) and $940 thousand of the $1.3 million combined potential value across all work, with additional smaller relationships at Naval Sea Systems Command (four awards, $100 thousand), the U.S. Geological Survey (one award, $80 thousand), and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (one award, $32 thousand). The top five customers cover 92% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value. NOAA work spans fisheries science centers (Alaska Fisheries Science Center's Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering program, Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Southeast Fisheries Science Center), coastal research laboratories, and ecosystem survey initiatives. Recent representative prime work includes a $273.9 thousand definitive contract awarded September 2025 under total small business set-aside for design and build of camera units and supporting components for NOAA's MACE program (ultimate completion October 2029, with Option Year 1 exercised and fully funded in April 2026), a $56.6 thousand purchase order awarded September 2026 for three underwater stereo camera units for a prototype bottom trawl device, and a $31.2 thousand sole-source purchase order awarded September 2024 for spherical camera systems to enable simultaneous deployment across two platforms for fisheries research.
Activity has flattened and contracted — four awards in 2022 and 2023, declining to three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $57 thousand) scheduled for completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The Sexton Corp subcontracts to Oregon State University on federal Sea Grant research awards, including the "Fishing for Hypoxia: An Academic-Industry-Tribal Partnership to Observe the Coastal Ocean" grant (sub-awards issued September 2025, May 2024, and November 2023) and the 2022–2023 Oregon Sea Grant Omnibus (sub-award issued June 2024); the vendor acts as equipment provider and technical contributor rather than as grant administrator. Across both prime and sub roles, The Sexton Corp's capability portfolio is narrowly defined: custom-engineered underwater camera housings, pressure-rated enclosures, spherical imaging systems, electronic controllers, data loggers, and specialized marine sensor equipment for fisheries abundance surveys, coastal ecosystem monitoring, and hypoxia research. Top NAICS concentrations are Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing, Photographic and Photocopying Equipment Manufacturing, and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing; top PSC is Photographic Equipment and Accessories.
