What LPI Technical Services does

LPI Technical Services is a Hispanic-owned small business founded in 1996 and headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia. The company provides ship repair, modernization, and related industrial manufacturing services to the US Navy, US Coast Guard, and US Army maritime agencies. Core capabilities include shipboard hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) repair and modernization, alteration installation team (AIT) work, emergent repair, firewatch services, and installation of specialized shipboard systems such as the Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS), Environmental Collective Protect System (CPS), and Radar-based Tank Level Indicating (TLI) systems. LPI also operates an industrial facility in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivering sheet metal fabrication, welding, pipefitting, machinist/mechanical, and electrical installation services for maritime applications.

The business model is built entirely on US federal government contracting. LPI holds a SeaPort-e contract (N00178-04-D-4076) covering all seven geographic zones and multiple direct prime multi-award contracts with Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division Ships' Systems Engineering Station (NSWCCD SSES), Norfolk Ship Support Activity (NSSA), and Military Sealift Fleet Support Command (MSFSC). The company is an approved alteration installation team contractor under Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command credentials, is ISO 9001:2008 compliant, and is E-Verify certified. Its workforce of more than 200 skilled tradesmen, many with US Navy shipboard experience, executes both facility-based fabrication work and shipboard installation tasks under these contract vehicles. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue mechanics tied to task order awards and performance-based procurement.

LPI has no disclosed parent company, no private equity or venture capital involvement, and no documented mergers, acquisitions, or leadership changes in the available source material. Operations are US-only, with the SeaPort-e contract providing the contractual right to compete for work across all seven zones nationally, while physical execution is concentrated at the Chesapeake facility and at customer shipyard locations.
