V.e.p. Manufacturing Inc.

V.e.p. Manufacturing Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Jackson, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) supplying precision-machined aviation components, ground support equipment, specialized tools, and corrosion control services to the Department of Defense under Total Small Business set-asides on a core Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Naval Air Warfare Center.

The Naval Air Warfare Center dominates V.e.p.'s customer concentration, accounting for 56 awards and $127.8 million in combined potential value—97 percent of the vendor's portfolio by dollar magnitude. The next tier of customers is substantially smaller: the Naval Supply Systems Command (5 awards, $1.3 million), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (30 awards, $606 thousand), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (10 awards, $159 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (6 awards, $214 thousand). The top five customers represent 88 percent of award count and 100 percent of potential value. V.e.p. has worked with thirteen distinct agencies, including the Air Force, Air National Guard, and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, but all significant work flows through Naval Air Warfare Center, which receives monthly government purchase card calls under the core $4.999 million single-award BPA running through November 2027.

Capability work grounded in the award footprint centers on precision machining and fabrication for naval aviation sustainment. Recent concrete examples include a $246 thousand call (December 2025, Total Small Business set-aside) for payload installation and removal jacks assembly supporting the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aircraft System program; a $667.944 million purchase order (July 2023, no set-aside) from Naval Supply Systems Command for nine ground handling trailers; a $332 thousand purchase order (July 2023, no set-aside) from Naval Supply Systems Command for ground handling equipment adapters; a $107.364 million IDC (September 2023, Total Small Business set-aside) with Naval Air Warfare Center for universal lifting slings supporting the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Air Systems program; a $81.650 thousand purchase order (September 2023, Total Small Business set-aside) from the Air Force for corrosion control services performed in Westhampton Beach, New York; and recurring spot purchases of antenna elements, adapters, maintenance kits, and components through Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Land and Maritime. The category concentration reflects this profile: 42 awards fall under Machine Shops NAICS, 25 under Other Electronic Component Manufacturing, and 19 under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing; PSC codes show 38 awards for Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment and 31 for Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment.

V.e.p.'s vehicle position is tightly concentrated. The core $4.999 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center (N6833523A0021) has generated 26 task orders carrying $110.4 million in combined potential value—the overwhelming majority of pipeline work. One IDC (N6833523D0039) for universal lifting slings has issued one task order valued at $53 thousand. A second smaller BPA (N6833514A0036) has generated 6 task orders worth $47 thousand. V.e.p. does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles; its federal access routes through the single-award Naval Air Warfare Center BPA and smaller Defense Logistics Agency and Naval Supply Systems Command vehicle seats.

Award activity has been cyclical but recently contracted. The source shows 7 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 21 in 2024, 17 in 2025, and 6 through July 2026—a downward trajectory over the past eighteen months. The recompete cliff exposes minimal near-term risk: only 3 awards (combined potential value $358 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, the smallest recompete window among the vendor's portfolio. The core Naval Air Warfare Center BPA itself, which is driving the majority of dollars, does not expire until November 2027.

V.e.p. operates predominantly as a prime on defense supply contracts. Subcontract exposure is negligible: only 2 sub-awards appear in the source (2% of total awards), both recent. One is a September 2025 sub with Defense Systems and Solutions for personnel, materials, facilities, and services supporting UH-60M aircraft modification kits for the Hellenic Army. The other is an October 2024 sub with Booz Allen Hamilton for precision machining and fabrication labor and travel support. The Service Contract Inventory dataset contains only 1 record covering the vendor, reported as a subcontractor with 7 FTEs in FY2022; SCI is a poor fit for V.e.p.'s footprint (goods and manufacturing dominance) and does not reflect the company's true scale or revenue profile.

V.e.p. has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2009 and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on its core NAWC vehicle, with mixed set-aside and full-and-open posture on Defense Logistics Agency spot purchases. The vendor's federal footprint is highly specialized: naval aviation components, ground support equipment, and precision machining for sustainment, with no significant presence in IT, services contracting, or civilian agency work.
