Delivery Order N0018926D0003-N0018926F0069

The U.S. Navy Installations Command awarded a delivery order valued at $829,133.20 to Virginia Pilot Association, a small business set-aside contract for pilot services in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The contract, effective January 1, 2026 with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, is issued under a firm fixed-price delivery order structure. Virginia Pilot Association, headquartered in Virginia Beach, is the exclusive state-licensed pilotage service provider in Virginia and specializes in providing critical maritime navigation assistance throughout the Chesapeake Bay region and surrounding coastal waters. The organization leverages its deep local expertise and established operational presence to guide commercial vessels, government-owned ships, and naval craft safely through strategically important waterways vital to naval logistics and military sealift operations in the Mid-Atlantic region.

This delivery order is issued under Virginia Pilot Association's foundational indefinite delivery contract valued at approximately $8.996 million with the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, which runs through October 2025 and serves as the vehicle for issuing individual task orders. The pilot services support safe vessel navigation for U.S.-flagged vessels, foreign and allied vessels, Military Sealift Command time-chartered vessels, and foreign military sales vessels transiting through Norfolk, Virginia, directly facilitating the transportation of equipment, supplies, and personnel essential to naval fleet operations and readiness. This marks a notable shift in the contractor's award history, as it represents one of the first small business set-aside designations for Virginia Pilot Association's Navy pilot services contracts.
