About the company
Universal Manufacturing Corp., headquartered in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, manufactures custom scaffolding and modular access platforms for federal customers as a prime contractor (77% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to defense primes, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor's recent prime work centers on steel and aluminum scaffolding components, assemblies, and kits for Navy and Coast Guard facilities and test operations, with secondary exposure to Army test-support functions.
Universal Manufacturing's customer base concentrates heavily with the Department of the Navy. The top three funding entities account for 82% of awards by count, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) with nine awards valued at $309 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (one award, $85 thousand) and the Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command (one award, $43 thousand). The Navy awards split between NAVSEA direct procurement and seven additional Navy entity awards, with the latter potentially including subordinate commands or field activities; the source does not distinguish. Two recent representative prime awards illustrate the vendor's scope: a $236,495.74 firm fixed-price purchase order from NAVSEA (awarded March 14, 2025) for a configurable scaffolding kit to support Large Vehicle Shock Test operations at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, and an $85,470.79 Total Small Business purchase order from the Coast Guard (awarded October 1, 2026) for universal system scaffold components compliant with OSHA 1926.451 and ASTM standards for the Curtis Bay Industrial Area facility in Baltimore, Maryland.
Universal Manufacturing holds positions on three NAICS categories — Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing, Ship Building and Repairing, and Ornamental and Architectural Metal Work Manufacturing — and is classified under PSC code Scaffolding Equipment and Concrete Forms for twelve of its awards, indicating consistent capability in modular steel and aluminum scaffolding systems. In its subcontractor role, Universal Manufacturing performs submarine construction and parts-support work under five sub-awards to Electric Boat Corporation on SSN 804 construction and related boat-support modifications running from 2022 through mid-2024. Activity is modest and episodic — one award in each of 2025 and 2026 — with combined potential value of $438 thousand across all recent awards, though obligated dollars ($5 million) exceed that figure substantially, indicating that many older awards carry higher-dollar actuals than their listed ceilings. One award (the Coast Guard purchase order) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents the only near-term recompete exposure.
