Trident Precision Manufacturing, Inc.

Trident Precision Manufacturing, Inc., a Webster, New York-based for-profit manufacturer, delivers precision sheet metal fabrication, machining, turnings, weldments, and electro-mechanical assembly services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (69% of recent awards) and to major defense primes including BAE Systems and General Dynamics as a subcontractor. The company competes as a small business across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open solicitations, with no formal SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) evident in the recent award portfolio. Trident has been registered for federal contracting since 1999 and holds nearly three decades of experience in ITAR-controlled defense manufacturing.

Trident's capability portfolio centers on ITAR-controlled antenna, radome, horn, and related RF/microwave components for naval aviation platforms, alongside precision fabrication for combat vehicle electronics, guidance systems, and test instrumentation. Representative prime work includes a $349,848 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center awarded April 15, 2026, for radome horn antenna ISO OE-120 A/UPX antenna systems (completion September 30, 2026), a $249,900 purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center awarded August 4, 2025, for radome, horn, and antenna part number 8201653P001 (completion April 14, 2026), and a $70,000 purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center awarded December 2, 2025, for TW12 radome, horn, and antenna production (completion May 15, 2026). Top NAICS categories include Machine Tool (Metal Forming Types) Manufacturing (7 awards) and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (4 awards); top PSC codes track antenna, waveguide, and RF equipment (7 awards) and electrical/electronic test instrumentation (6 awards).

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with the Department of the Navy. The Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 7 awards and $1.7 million in combined potential value (79% of the top five customers by award count, 99% by potential value). The Department of the Army's Communications Electronics Command and Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal combine for 9 awards and $839 thousand. Trident places task orders under four basic ordering agreements (BOAs) — FA862021G4028 with 4 task orders, N0001922G0009 with 2, W58RGZ21D0010 with 2, and N0016425GJW74 with 1 — anchored to Navy platforms. Recent activity shows growth from one award in 2023 to six in 2025, with three awards so far in 2026. One award with combined potential value of $350 thousand is scheduled for completion in the next twenty-four months. As a subcontractor, Trident provides sheet metal fabrication, machining, and assembly work to BAE Systems on nine recent sub-awards spanning combat system mission crew workstations, common missile warning system production hardware, and Big Safari chassis components (May 2026, March 2026, November 2025, and earlier), and subcontracts to General Dynamics on related defense programs. The vendor's narrow customer footprint and heavy reliance on Naval Air Warfare Center repetitive purchase orders reflect established supplier status within a specific radome and antenna supply chain, with low recompete exposure outside current BOA vehicles in the near term.
