About the company
The Slate River Corporation, doing business as The Slate River Corp, is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Suffolk, Virginia, that supplies damage control kits, shoring kits, tool bags, and specialized repair equipment to the U.S. Navy, NOAA, and the federal government as a prime contractor on 432 awards spanning nearly two decades.
The Slate River Corp operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with service-disabled veteran ownership (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned business (VOB) designations. The vendor competes full-and-open across federal agencies rather than under set-aside vehicles; the recent award history carries no set-aside restrictions except for a single total small business set-aside with NOAA. Primary capability framing centers on manufacturing and supply of nylon tool and equipment kits — plugging kits, shoring kits, dewatering kits, electrical repair kits, pipe patching kits, banding kits, adapter kits, and equipment bag assemblies — aligned to NAICS 331612 (Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing, 249 awards) and NAICS 424400 (Service Establishment Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers, 145 awards), with secondary capability in engineering services on maintenance and repair of naval training equipment.
The Navy commands The Slate River Corp's customer footprint. The top five funding agencies account for 94% of recent awards by count and 96% of combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command leads by dollar volume (22 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), anchored by a $5,774 delivery order in June 2026 for a shoring kit and a $79,500 purchase order in January 2025 for gas-free engineering confidence cage repairs at Naval Base Norfolk. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service places the highest volume of orders (147 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value) on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0156U, where The Slate River Corp holds 11 task orders worth $1.7 million in combined potential value. The U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces generated 136 awards ($59 thousand combined potential value), the Navy proper 70 awards ($22 thousand combined potential value), and Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) 30 awards ($10 thousand combined potential value). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration placed a $147,911 total small business purchase order in August 2023 for damage control and electrical repair kits to support NOAA vessel fleet safety initiatives.
The vendor's award activity is heavily front-loaded. The source data spans from January 2008 through June 2026, yet 50 of 54 awards in the last five years occurred in 2022; 2023 through 2026 each carried a single award. This sharp decline signals either a shift in acquisition posture by Navy and GSA ordering offices, a departure from the federal customer base, or a data-collection lag. The combined potential value across all 433 awards is $4.6 million, with $3.6 million (78%) obligated, indicating substantial completion on older awards and minimal recent draw-down on 2025–2026 orders.
The Slate River Corp subcontracts minimally — one sub-award appears in the source data: a September 2024 sub-award from Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for a NAVSEA CBR kit bag. The vendor operates primarily as a manufacturer and direct-to-customer supplier on defense logistics and equipment supply chains rather than as a sub-tier systems integrator.
