About this IDV
Virginia Pilot Association, a small business maritime services provider headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Navy Installations Command valued at $14.5 million with a completion date of June 30, 2030. The contract vehicle is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and was awarded on December 31, 2025. Under this IDV, Virginia Pilot Association provides pilot services—professional maritime navigation assistance essential to U.S. Navy operations in the Mid-Atlantic region. The contractor is the exclusive state-licensed pilotage service provider in Virginia and delivers critical navigational guidance for commercial vessels, government-owned ships, naval craft, and Military Sealift Command vessels transiting through the Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk area, and surrounding coastal waters extending from Cape Henry to the Potomac River. As the incumbent contractor holding a foundational IDV valued at approximately $9.0 million (expiring October 2025), Virginia Pilot Association has demonstrated consistent performance in supporting naval logistics and military sealift operations through scheduled and unscheduled pilotage services.
The originating solicitation, posted May 22, 2025 with proposals due June 5, 2025, sought pilotage services for maritime navigation under NAICS code 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping) and PSC Category V227-P (transportation, travel, and navigational aid services). The contract aims to procure essential maritime guidance expertise to facilitate safe vessel navigation and support the transportation of equipment, supplies, and personnel vital to naval fleet operations and readiness. An initial delivery order issued January 1, 2026 for performance through December 31, 2026 demonstrates the IDV structure in operation, valued at $829,133.20 as a firm fixed-price task order. This represents a notable shift in Virginia Pilot Association's contracting history, marking one of the first small business set-aside designations for its Navy pilot services contracts, reflecting the federal government's commitment to small business participation in critical maritime support operations.
