What believers are saying

  • PURVIS added a $19.9 million NUWC Newport contract on April 10, 2025.
  • PURVIS posted a $37.3 million NUWC award in June 2024, showing contract momentum.

  • SeaPort-NxG follow-ons and sole-source CMPRO work invite aggressive pressure from rival integrators.
  • A Navy budget shift away from undersea warfare would hit PURVIS revenue within one award cycle.

  • PURVIS secured CMMC Level 2 certification on July 28, 2025, meeting defense supplier requirements.
