US Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet)

United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic), a sub-agency of the Department of the Navy, is the Atlantic operating force responsible for fleet operations, maintenance, and support activities across naval installations and operational commands. The command procures supplies, services, logistics support, and vessel maintenance across Atlantic-based naval operations and oversight of subordinate fleet commands.

Fleet Forces Command operates a substantial federal contract portfolio of 163,988 awards totaling $26.87 billion in combined potential value since 1996, with $23.45 billion obligated. Over the last five years, the command issued 2,344 awards in 2022, 2,164 in 2023, 2,220 in 2024, 2,080 in 2025, and 852 year-to-date in 2026. The portfolio spans 9,669 distinct prime contractors, reflecting a highly fragmented competitive base. Among recent prime contractors by award count, S.C.A. - Shipping Consultants Associated LTD. leads with 1,634 awards and $218 million combined potential value, followed by Leidos, Inc. with 337 awards and $23.2 million, and Global Defense Logistics S.R.L. with 302 awards and $36.8 million. By potential value over the last five years, Navantia, S.a., S.m.e. ranks first with 126 awards and $408.8 million combined potential value, with S.C.A. and Waypoint LLC following. The top five primes by award count represent 28 percent of recent awards; the top five by value represent only 3 percent of combined potential value, indicating that award concentration and value concentration diverge sharply across the portfolio. The command reports recent awards with no reported potential value, suggesting significant transactional volume through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications. The portfolio is predominantly unrestricted: 94 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business and 8(a) awards together account for 6 percent of awards, with remaining set-asides minimal.

The command has issued six federal grants totaling $3.4 million obligated since 2015, with activity concentrated in 2015, 2017, 2020, 2022, and 2023 (one award each in the first three years, one in 2022, and two in 2023). All six grants are Cooperative Agreements. The three distinct recipients are Colorado State University and Duke University, each with one award and $473 thousand and $450 thousand obligated respectively, and The Student Conservation Association, Inc., with one award and $41 thousand obligated. Grant making at Fleet Forces Command is sparse and episodic; no grant opportunities are currently recorded.

U.S. Fleet Forces Command organizes, mans, trains, maintains, and equips Navy forces, and develops fleet readiness.
