Marine Boatyard Repair and Maintenance Support Lot I for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center

Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a multiple-award Master IDIQ on September 30, 2025, to provide small boats and craft repair, maintenance, modernization, and sustainment services for Fleet Forces vessels, with ordering authority extending through September 29, 2030. The vehicle is fully set aside for small business (NAICS 336611, ship building and repair, 1,300-employee threshold), though minimum-guarantee orders issued at vehicle inception were structured as unrestricted to seed the awardee base.

Work is performed primarily within a 100-mile radius of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, with potential requirements elsewhere in the continental United States, including long-distance towing and sustainment. Contractors furnish material, support services, and facilities to accomplish full-range depot-level repairs, alterations, troubleshooting, maintenance, installation, and removal of systems and equipment on U.S. Navy boats and craft. All orders are firm fixed price.

Twenty-five task orders have been awarded since vehicle establishment, obligating the full $4.6 million combined potential value. Activity accelerated in the first year (14 orders in 2025) and has sustained at 11 orders through April 2026. The customer base is monolithic: all orders fund Naval Sea Systems Command directly. Competition is highly concentrated. Beach Marine Services Inc. holds 8 orders worth $2.3 million combined potential value, and QED Systems, Inc. holds 5 orders worth $2.1 million combined potential value; together these two firms account for 52% of all task orders and virtually all non-minimum-guarantee value. Fairlead Boatworks, Inc. holds 2 orders worth $216 thousand. The remaining 10 awardees are scattered across individual orders at or near the $5 thousand minimum-guarantee floor established at award. Twelve of the 25 orders (48%) are designated small-business set-aside; 13 are unrestricted, comprising the minimum-guarantee orders and higher-value work awarded to the two dominant primes. Task orders outside the minimum-guarantee class range from approximately $167 thousand to $866 thousand, with typical durations of three to five months.
