Vigor Works LLC

Vigor Works LLC, a foreign-owned maritime and shipbuilding specialist based in Vancouver, Washington (operating as a subsidiary of Vigor Industrial LLC), delivers vessel production, structural engineering, and ship repair services to the U.S. military and federal agencies almost exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements, with no set-aside designations across its recent award portfolio.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on military vessel construction and lifecycle support. Recent representative prime work includes a $59.6 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army System of Systems Integration Directorate (October 2024) for Maneuver Support Vessel (Light) Full Rate Production 1, a $63.7 million vessel-production delivery order for LRIP (September 2021) under the same customer, and a $62.4 million single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded August 2025 by Army PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support Systems for MSV(L) systems technical support encompassing engineering, logistics, and configuration management through August 2030. The technical data package and integrated product support work—including a $6.8 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army's System of Systems Integration Directorate (September 2023)—rounds out the MSV(L) centerline. Vigor Works also maintains a $9.9 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for polar asset maintenance and repair, including overhaul of controllable pitch propeller hub assemblies for the Cutter Polar Star; recent delivery orders under that vehicle include a $2.7 million task order (May 2023) and a $1.79 million order (May 2024). USSOCOM has engaged Vigor Works on craft maintenance and repair ($4.8 million, December 2021), sustaining engineering for the Common Computing Environment ($438 thousand, November 2021), and related sustaining support. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a $328 thousand definitive contract for N-CCM detail design engineering (August 2021).

Customer concentration sits with the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. USSOCOM anchors the portfolio at 122 awards (29.6% of all awards) valued at $1.08 billion combined potential value—by far the largest single customer. The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal accounts for 2 awards carrying $998.6 million combined potential value, driven primarily by the two largest MSV(L) production contracts. The Army Acquisition Support Center System of Systems Integration Directorate (10 awards, $349.2 million combined potential value) and Army PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (7 awards, $139.8 million combined potential value) represent the second and third Army tiers. The U.S. Coast Guard (42 awards, $79.2 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy (33 awards) round out active defense and DHS customers. Across the top five customers by potential value, USSOCOM and the two Army contracting offices together account for 91% of combined potential value.

Vigor Works places orders under multiple indefinite delivery contracts and vehicles. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract H9222211D0080 (103 task orders, $331.2 million combined potential value), followed by W56HZV17D0086 (10 task orders, $420 million combined potential value)—the Army MSV(L) production vehicle. DTCG8502D625156 carries 13 task orders valued at $4.5 million combined potential value, and W9123709D0025 hosts 12 task orders at $6.9 million combined potential value. The August 2025 $62.4 million single-award MSV(L) technical support IDIQ represents the most recently awarded vehicle.

Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years—3 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 11 in 2025—with only 4 awards recorded to date in 2026. Ten awards with combined potential value of $267.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure.

As a subcontractor, Vigor Works performs fabrication, structural manufacturing, and component supply work for Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company on defense programs. Named sub-award customers include Lockheed Martin (combatant craft medium maintenance support, CCM engine placement, and trailer repair spanning 2023–2026) and Boeing (Missile Defense Agency Ground-Based Midcourse Defense major structures, and GBI/AUR program management with recurring awards from June 2024 through April 2026). The subcontractor footprint—24 sub-awards representing 6% of all awards—remains modest relative to Vigor Works' prime-contracting posture. On SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Vigor Works performed with 6.5 FTEs in FY2022 ($4.7 million invoiced), 11.9 FTEs in FY2023 ($3.7 million invoiced), and 9.3 FTEs in FY2024 ($1.3 million invoiced), with no sub-hours share recorded across those contracts. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts median around $68.75 per hour, with 90th percentile labor priced at $523.43 per hour, indicating a mixed labor scale spanning junior technical and senior program management roles. The parent company, Vigor Industrial LLC, operates shipbuilding and industrial fabrication across multiple Pacific Northwest and California facilities.
