Marinas

NAICS 713930 (Marinas) encompasses businesses primarily engaged in operating marinas, boat storage, dock rental, and marine support services. These facilities provide essential infrastructure for recreational and research watercraft, including boat slips, moorage, launching, storage, maintenance, and related services. The facilities support a wide range of maritime activities across government, research, and recreational sectors, facilitating vessel operations, maintenance, and logistical support.

Federal contract awards in this NAICS code predominantly involve maritime service provisions for agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and various Department of Interior bureaus. Typical contract values range from approximately $5,000 to $250,000, with durations spanning several months to multiple years. Frequently awarded entities include local government jurisdictions (such as the City of Unalaska), small marine service businesses, and marina operators. Contracts are often structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders, with approximately 70% having no specific small business set-aside designation. Common performance locations include coastal regions, Great Lakes areas, and Alaska, with a strong emphasis on supporting government vessel maintenance, research, and operational requirements.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this category focus on specialized marine infrastructure services, including dockage for research vessels, floating dock and scaffolding systems for vessel maintenance, and berthing services for government research and patrol vessels. Solicitations have been issued by agencies like NOAA, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Geological Survey. These opportunities typically require providers to offer comprehensive marine support services, including dock space, shore power, vessel maintenance facilities, and specialized infrastructure to support maritime research and operational missions.
