Wing Inflatables Inc.

Wing Inflatables Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Arcata, California, sells inflatable maritime and tactical equipment—Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC) systems, inflatable boats, covers, bladders, sponsons, repair kits, and components—to federal defense and homeland security agencies as a prime contractor (99% of awards). The company holds SBA certification as a HUBZone firm and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with recurring small-business set-aside awards from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime.

Wing Inflatables' customer base concentrates heavily in defense maritime logistics. By award count, the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates with 870 awards ($20.8 million combined potential value), followed by U.S. Special Operations Command (111 awards, $7.7 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (95 awards, $1.9 million), U.S. Coast Guard (89 awards, $11.1 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (62 awards, $36.4 million)—together representing 73% of all awards. By dollar potential, the ranking shifts: the U.S. Marine Corps leads with 10 awards valued at $53.3 million, Naval Supply Systems Command follows at $36.4 million across 62 awards, and DLA Land and Maritime contributes $20.8 million across 870 awards. This concentration reveals a bimodal customer value structure: DLA drives volume through hundreds of small purchase orders for individual components and repair kits, while the Marine Corps and Naval Supply Systems Command anchor the largest contract vehicles.

Wing Inflatables holds two named Indefinite Delivery Vehicles as prime: a $1.995 million single-award IDV with U.S. Special Operations Command for CRRC systems, parts, services, and training through June 2030 (awarded June 24, 2025), and a $453,344 single-award IDV with DLA Aviation for access covers through July 2029 (awarded July 22, 2024). The vendor also places task orders under five additional IDV vehicles, including the Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle (123 task orders, $2.1 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract H9224020D0028 (67 task orders, $1.9 million), and three others ranging from 13 to 28 task orders each. Representative work spans CRRC service, parts, and training delivery orders across Naval Special Warfare Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Department of the Navy—for example, a $139,386 delivery order from Naval Special Warfare Command (July 2025), a $100,542 delivery order for CRRC repair parts and service from Naval Special Warfare Command (May 2025), and a $227,360 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for inflatable landing boat manufacture (April 2025). On the DLA side, the vendor executes a steady stream of component orders: boat bladders valued between $1,081 and $129,629; foam sets; sheaths; covers; repair kits; and structural elements, typically firm fixed price with 90–180-day performance periods.

Recent activity shows growth from 120 awards in 2023 to 151 in 2025, though 2026 reflects only 101 awards through mid-September—a pace consistent with partial-year reporting. Of the 1,683 total awards in the portfolio, only 3 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $3 million, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. The vendor operates as a subcontractor in a limited capacity (12 sub-awards, 1% of portfolio) under primes including Peraton Inc. (unmanned systems RDT&E and EOD UUV program support) and QED Systems Inc. (marine boatyard industrial support for inflatable collar assemblies and military boarding systems).

Wing Inflatables' award footprint spans 51 federal customer agencies, but concentration in boat-building and marine equipment procurement categories is pronounced: 507 awards under NAICS 336611 (Boat Building), 191 under 336612 (Ship Building and Repairing), and 181 under plastics product manufacturing. Primary Product Service Codes reflect this maritime focus—599 awards under PSC for miscellaneous ship and marine equipment, 505 under marine hardware and hull items, and 101 under small craft. The vendor is parent to no named subsidiaries in the source.
