Upnovr Inc.

Upnovr Inc., based in Pelham, New Hampshire, manufactures specialized metallic and fiberglass maritime and infrastructure components (deck grating, non-slip treads, ladders, gangways, and related hardware) and operates as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price federal purchase orders and delivery orders across defense logistics. The company is a small business that competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open solicitations.

Upnovr's customer base is overwhelmingly concentrated in defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 297 of 374 total awards (80% of award count) and $4.9 million of $6.2 million combined potential value (79% of dollars). Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the second-ranked customer by both volume and value, with 45 awards worth $748 thousand. The remaining customer set includes the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (13 awards, $134 thousand), the U.S. Coast Guard (6 awards, $112 thousand), Military Sealift Command (3 awards, $149 thousand), and smaller activity across other naval and defense logistics commands. Together, the top five customers account for 98% of awards and 97% of combined potential value.

Work is delivered exclusively as prime contractor (374 awards, 100% of recent activity); Upnovr does not subcontract on federal work in the source footprint. All awards in the source are purchase orders or delivery orders under firm fixed-price structures, with no IDIQs, BPAs, or other standing vehicles held by Upnovr itself. The company does place task orders against three DLA Land and Maritime indefinite delivery contracts: SPE7M421D60MX (9 task orders, $33 thousand combined value), SPE7M022D60DB (5 task orders, $74 thousand combined value), and SPE7M121D62FQ (3 task orders, $26 thousand combined value). Representative work includes a $163.8 thousand total small business set-aside delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime in August 2024 for 5,700 units of metallic non-slip treads; a $93.7 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from Military Sealift Command in August 2022 for bulk stowage and cabinet space modifications (aluminum telescopic battens and gratings) on the vessel Richard E. Byrd; a $56.8 thousand total small business set-aside order from NAVSEA in November 2022 for fiberglass brow assembly; and a $28.9 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in March 2026 for aluminum deck grating.

Activity trajectory reflects significant decline. The vendor received 54 awards in 2022 but only 3 awards in 2026 (as of mid-July), with 2023 through 2025 holding steady at 15, 15, and 19 awards respectively. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is modest—two awards worth $180 thousand combined potential value reach completion in that window. Combined dollars obligated across the portfolio stand at $5.2 million, or 84% of combined potential value, indicating high closure rates across award transactions. The vendor has been continuously active in federal procurement since at least March 2012, demonstrating a long-standing supplier relationship with defense logistics commands.
