Scaffolding Services Onboard Navy Ships

The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded this multiple-award Master IDIQ for scaffolding services onboard U.S. Navy ships and vessels within a 50-mile radius of San Diego, California on January 5, 2021, with ordering closed as of January 4, 2026.

The vehicle is no longer active. All $6.8 million in combined potential value across 465 task orders has been obligated. The most recent order was placed December 31, 2025. Ordering momentum declined in 2025 to 73 orders from a peak of 110 in 2024, reflecting the vehicle's approach to the final ordering deadline.

Work consists of scaffolding onload, assembly, certification, modification, disassembly, and offload performed onboard active-duty U.S. Navy combatants and amphibious vessels homeported at or transiting through the San Diego area, including destroyers, cruisers, littoral combat ships, amphibious assault ships, and landing platform dock vessels. A small share of work in recent months has included support for barges (APL-59, APL-69) in the same geographic area. All work requires compliance with OSHA and Navy safety regulations.

Premier Scaffold, Inc. dominates the awardee base, holding 251 orders representing $4 million of the combined potential value (59 percent of total activity by value). W.V. Cleansvendornametrait.phpconstruction Company holds 134 orders worth $2 million (29 percent), and Vertical Horizon Marine LLC holds 79 orders worth $786 thousand (12 percent). The remaining activity is de minimis. All 465 orders fund Naval Sea Systems Command operations, with no customer diversification.

The set-aside mix shows the vehicle was initially designated Total Small Business but evolved in practice: 97 percent of task orders are unrestricted, with only 3 percent awarded under the small-business set-aside in recent fiscal years (FY25 and FY26). Individual order values typically range from roughly $3 thousand to $40 thousand, with most clustered between $10 thousand and $35 thousand. Order durations are short, typically completed within 30 to 90 days of award.

Place of performance is limited to the San Diego area and adjacent waters where Navy vessels homeport or conduct operations.
