TIDEWATER MARINE ELECTRIC LLC

TideWater Marine Electric LLC specializes in the design, manufacture, and integration of mission-critical electrical components for U.S. defense systems, with deep expertise in current-carrying and noncurrent-carrying wiring devices, electrical conduits, shore power receptacles, and custom splice kits compliant with MIL-DTL-24368 and other military specifications. The company fabricates high-reliability connectors, potted electrical assemblies, and specialized wiring harnesses for naval platforms, emphasizing ruggedized construction, environmental sealing, and precise dimensional tolerances for harsh marine and expeditionary environments. Their technical proficiency extends to transformer assemblies, stuffing tubes, and hybrid electrical-mechanical interfaces, demonstrating mastery in both standard and custom component manufacturing under strict defense quality standards. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering mission-essential electrical components for U.S. Navy vessels, including amphibious assault ships like the USS BATAAN (LHD-5). Their work supports shipboard power distribution, shore connection systems, and auxiliary electrical infrastructure, often involving direct integration into combat systems and propulsion control networks. All contracts are defense-specific, with no commercial or civilian agency engagement evident in the performance history. TideWater’s primary industry focus lies in electrical equipment manufacturing under NAICS 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices) and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components), with secondary capability in power transformer and connector manufacturing. They serve the naval systems integration market by providing qualified, low-volume, high-assurance components that meet MIL-SPEC, ASTM, and ANSI standards, positioning themselves as a niche supplier for complex, non-commodity electrical hardware in defense platforms. As a Women-Owned Small Business certified under the SBA’s 8(a) program and recognized as a Woman-Owned Business, TideWater Marine Electric LLC operates from Virginia Beach, Virginia, leveraging its small business status to compete for set-aside defense contracts while maintaining agile, responsive manufacturing and engineering support tailored to military procurement timelines and quality assurance protocols.
