VPS TESTING & INSPECTION, INC.

VPS TESTING & INSPECTION, INC. specializes in marine fuel and lubricant analysis services for federal maritime assets, delivering laboratory-based chemical testing and diagnostic support to ensure operational readiness and regulatory compliance. The company provides critical fleet-wide oil analysis programs, including spectrographic evaluation of wear metals, viscosity testing, contamination detection, and fuel quality assessment for vessels in the Ready Reserve Fleet, schoolships, and fleet support craft. Their technical expertise centers on ASTM and SAE-compliant analytical methods, enabling predictive maintenance through condition-based monitoring and early detection of engine degradation, water ingress, or fuel adulteration. A key differentiator is their ability to support global logistics with rapid turnaround and data reporting tailored to MARAD’s operational needs, ensuring vessels remain mission-ready under austere conditions. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the U.S. Department of Transportation, specifically through the Maritime Administration, where they deliver mission-critical fluid analysis services across the nation’s government-owned vessel fleet. Their work supports ship operations, maintenance planning, and environmental compliance, establishing a trusted, recurring partnership focused on fleet sustainability and risk mitigation. Their primary industry focus is testing laboratories and services under NAICS 541380, with deep specialization in marine propulsion systems and fluid health monitoring. This positions them as a niche provider within the federal maritime sector, serving government-owned fleets that require high-precision, regulatory-aligned laboratory services not typically offered by commercial contractors. VPS TESTING & INSPECTION, INC. is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in La Porte, Texas. While currently holding no formal government certifications, their proven track record in delivering precise, compliant fluid analysis for critical maritime assets establishes them as a reliable provider within the DOT’s maritime logistics ecosystem.
