West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, Inc.

West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in Seattle, Washington, supplies specialized rigging equipment, wire rope, mooring lines, shackles, chain hoists, and related maritime hardware to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with approximately 70 percent of its awards designated for total small business or woman-owned small business participation; the remaining 30 percent compete full-and-open. West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, Inc. operates as a child entity of West Coast Wire Rope And Rigging, Inc. (parent company based in Portland, Oregon and doing business as Westco Brand Nylon Products), also a woman-owned small business manufacturer.

The company's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Navy. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) dominates both award count and dollars, accounting for 1,026 awards and $13.4 million in combined potential value, representing 81 percent of the vendor's active contract portfolio. The U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces places the second-highest volume at 127 awards ($984 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs (63 awards), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (12 awards, $333 thousand), and the U.S. Coast Guard (7 awards, $139 thousand). The top five agencies account for 97 percent of awards; this concentration around Navy maritime operations is characteristic of the vendor's business model.

Recent representative prime work illustrates the capability range: a $223.4 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from NAVSEA (awarded September 23, 2025) for 15 bolt-type shackles, 25 screw pin shackles in various sizes, and 10 master links manufactured to Federal Specification RR-C-271 standards with comprehensive compliance documentation; a $135 thousand NAVSEA mooring line contract (awarded April 8, 2024) for 60 pieces of 1-inch diameter plasma HICO 12-strand mooring line with 4-foot cordura-covered eyes; a $131.8 thousand NOAA purchase order (awarded February 22, 2024) for galvanized safety anchor shackles to replenish stock at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory; and a $52.8 thousand NAVSEA wire rope servicing contract (awarded April 10, 2024) for lubrication, inspection, removal, and reinstallation services on crane wire rope systems across three vessels, with completion scheduled for April 2027.

West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, Inc. places task orders under five named indefinite delivery vehicles: NAVSEA IDC N0040608D8127 (57 task orders, $123 thousand combined potential value), IDC N0040608D8238 (21 task orders, $42 thousand), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime SPMYM214D0014 (16 task orders, $65 thousand), SPMYM212D0027 (10 task orders, $252 thousand), and NAVSEA N0002421D4103 (3 task orders). The vendor does not hold seats on government-wide GWACs or multiple-award schedules; its work flows through direct NAICS-based or company-specific purchase orders and agency IDIQs.

Activity volume declined from a peak of 38 awards in 2022 to 20 in 2023, then stabilized at 25 to 27 awards annually in 2024 and 2025. Through mid-April 2026, the vendor had received 8 awards year-to-date. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 1 award (combined potential value $53 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within that window, creating limited near-term recompete risk compared to the 1,275-award portfolio.

In its subcontractor role, West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging, Inc. performs wire rope replacement, swedge, and end-fitting work aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) under HII Fleet Support Group LLC, with three recent sub-awards from December 2025, April 2025, and April 2024 for elevator support unit (ESU) maintenance on the carrier's ammunition handling systems. The vendor's NAICS profile concentrates in wire and cable fabrication (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing, 298 awards), hoisting equipment (Overhead Traveling Crane and Hoist Manufacturing, 213 awards), and cordage and twine mills (Rope, Cordage categories, 285 awards combined). PSC coding shows primary alignment with Chain and Wire Rope (227 awards), Fittings for Rope and Cable (202 awards), Blocks and Tackle (153 awards), and Rigging Gear (114 awards), positioning the vendor as a specialized commodities supplier rather than a systems integrator or services contractor.
