WHIPP & BOURNE ASSOCIATES LLC

Whipp & Bourne Associates LLC specializes in the design, manufacturing, and integration of critical electrical control systems for defense applications, with deep expertise in switchgear, switchboard apparatus, and precision metal valve and pipe fittings. The company produces high-reliability circuit breakers and sensitive switching components that meet rigorous military specifications, ensuring operational continuity in harsh environments. Their technical proficiency spans electromechanical system engineering, high-current interrupter design, and precision metal fabrication for mission-critical naval and DoD platforms. A key differentiator is their ability to deliver custom-engineered solutions for legacy and next-generation systems, combining ruggedized manufacturing with stringent quality control protocols required for defense-grade electronics and fluid control components. The contractor maintains a consistent and trusted relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying mission-essential electrical and mechanical subsystems for naval and expeditionary systems. Their work supports shipboard power distribution, weapon systems integration, and control panel modernization, often under tight timelines and classified requirements. While Navsup Weapon Systems Support is also a recipient of their products, the bulk of their performance is aligned with DoD’s broader need for hardened, field-deployable electrical infrastructure. Their primary industry focus lies in NAICS 335313 (switchgear and switchboard apparatus manufacturing) and 332919 (other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), where they serve as a niche supplier of engineered components for military-grade power and fluid control systems. This positions them as a specialized manufacturer rather than a broad-scale producer, with a reputation for precision, compliance, and rapid prototyping of bespoke hardware. Whipp & Bourne Associates LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, leveraging its small business structure to deliver agile, responsive manufacturing support to federal defense customers. Their certifications and location reinforce their alignment with national security supply chain priorities.
