About the company
Washington Chain & Supply, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Seattle, Washington, manufactures marine deck equipment, anchor chains, shackles, swivels, detachable links, and rigging hardware for federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor on 99% of recent awards. The company operates primarily in NAICS 336214 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing) and 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) under full-and-open competition, with a secondary presence in Total Small Business set-asides; recent awards split between set-aside and non-set-aside designations across purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts.
Washington Chain & Supply's customer concentration anchors to Department of Defense maritime logistics and naval operations. The top five funding agencies account for 71% of award count and 87% of combined potential value, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (77 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (89 awards, $1.5 million), and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (66 awards, $1 million). The U.S. Coast Guard rounds the active set with 39 awards ($365 thousand). Recent prime capability work includes a $249 thousand sole-source purchase order from the Navy's Atlantic Fleet Forces Command for four complete towing kits of chain assemblies and rigging hardware for Littoral Combat Ships (awarded June 2023); a $133 thousand Total Small Business award from Naval Sea Systems Command for thirteen 1-1/8-inch stud-link anchor chains (May 2023); and recurring Defense Logistics Agency Aviation purchase orders for swivel eye-and-jaw components ($49.9 thousand, July 2025), detachable link chains ($50.9 thousand, July 2025), and wire rope clamps ($3.6 thousand, November 2025). Washington Chain & Supply holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation valued at $250 thousand for detachable link items, with delivery orders totaling $146.3 thousand to date.
Activity has grown sharply — from one award in 2022 to sixteen in 2025 — though the combined potential value of $7.3 million against $16.6 million obligated across all historical awards (455 total) reflects a portfolio weighted toward sub-million purchase orders. Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure. Washington Chain & Supply subcontracts to Metro Machine Corp. on Navy ship maintenance work including CVN-77 and USS BATAAN chain and anchor deliveries, and to Oceanetics Inc. on passive water barrier refurbishment with chain and shackles in support of Newport News Shipyard. The vendor also operates through subsidiary Lister Chain & Forge Inc., which is referenced in award narratives as the administrative vehicle for some federal maritime contracts.
