WM W Nugent & Co Inc.

WM W Nugent & Co Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation manufacturer headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, supplies pressure filters, strainer elements, seals, and marine equipment components to federal agencies as a prime contractor on small-business full-and-open purchase orders. The vendor competes without set-aside designation across its recent federal footprint and does not hold an awarded federal contract vehicle.

WM W Nugent manufactures filters, filter assemblies, sealing devices, and related fluid-handling components classified under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and NAICS 332911 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing), primarily for naval vessels and Coast Guard cutters. Recent prime work includes a $28,000 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard awarded July 6, 2026, for a Nugent Model 10577-208B-SPY-M pressure liquid filter assembly (Part Number 11-433-201) for USCGC MORRO BAY, with delivery required within ten days to USCG Base Cleveland, Ohio; a $34,080 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded November 20, 2023, for 24 strainer elements (National Stock Number 4730017029154) to the USS San Diego LPD 22; and a $7,100 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime awarded November 27, 2023, for a strainer element in support of Navy vessel maintenance.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on naval and Coast Guard logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates recent activity at eight awards carrying $54 thousand combined potential value, followed by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard at six awards and $46 thousand, and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command at four awards and $21 thousand. These three customers account for 88% of recent awards. Work is almost entirely small-dollar purchase orders under FAR Part 13.5 simplified acquisition procedures, with no parent IDIQs, GWACs, or standing blanket purchase agreements in the source data.

Over the past five years, activity has been sporadic — three awards in 2021 and 2022, two in 2023, a gap in 2024, two awards in 2025, and one in the first half of 2026 — suggesting event-driven procurement tied to vessel maintenance schedules rather than steady-state demand. The combined potential value across all 26 awards (prime and sub) stands at $136 thousand, though obligated dollars total $431 thousand, indicating that the vendor's invoiced performance value exceeds initial potential values, typical of firm fixed-price small-dollar component buys.

WM W Nugent subcontracts minimally — two awards in the source, both recent — as a supplier of repair materials and components to Metro Machine Corp. on a USS Oak Hill docking selected restricted availability sub task (July 2025) and to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company on a USS Harpers Ferry selected restricted availability sub task (June 2025). The vendor's footprint remains a prime-focused, full-and-open, small-dollar industrial-component supplier to naval maintenance and Coast Guard operations, with no active presence on multi-award contracts or set-aside vehicles.
