BIS AUTOMATION, INC.

BIS AUTOMATION, INC. specializes in the programming, commissioning, and service of marine propulsion and control systems for U.S. Coast Guard vessels, with deep expertise in thruster drive systems, voltage regulation, and digital engine control systems. The company delivers mission-critical automation solutions for maritime platforms, including the installation and calibration of DECS 250 voltage regulators, AEM systems, and proprietary thruster control software. Their technical focus centers on embedded control systems, real-time firmware integration, and post-installation commissioning of propulsion hardware, ensuring operational readiness and compliance with naval engineering standards. BIS AUTOMATION differentiates itself through its hands-on, vessel-side execution of complex electrical and control system upgrades, often performed in forward-deployed or shipyard environments under stringent maritime operational constraints. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, primarily supporting U.S. Coast Guard asset modernization initiatives. All awarded work involves direct support to cutters and patrol vessels, indicating a trusted, repeat partnership focused on sustaining and upgrading critical maritime propulsion infrastructure. Their engagements are highly technical and mission-specific, suggesting a role as a specialized subcontractor or systems integrator within the Coast Guard’s fleet maintenance ecosystem. BIS AUTOMATION operates squarely within the shipbuilding and repairing sector (NAICS 336611), with a narrow vertical specialization in marine automation and propulsion system integration. The company is not a shipbuilder but a precision systems provider that enables vessel functionality through electronic control and diagnostic services, positioning itself as a niche enabler for federal maritime fleet sustainment. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in De Pere, WI, BIS AUTOMATION operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused geographic and operational footprint centered on U.S. Coast Guard vessel support. Their market presence is defined by technical precision in marine control systems rather than broad-scale contracting.
