PSC Category V224 covers Transportation/Travel/Relocation services specifically focused on Passenger Marine Charter services. This category encompasses water-based transportation solutions, including water taxi, ferry, and vessel charter services for government agencies. The services typically involve moving personnel, equipment, and cargo between maritime locations, supporting military, scientific research, and administrative operational needs.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature water taxi and vessel transportation services for the U.S. Navy, particularly the United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic). Most awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders with values ranging from $3,606 to $262,080, and performance periods typically spanning 1-4 months. Patriotic Excursions LLC emerges as a frequent awardee, holding a $5 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supporting Navy transportation needs in the Virginia Beach region. Awards are predominantly issued by the Department of the Navy, with no set-aside designations, and focus on transporting naval personnel and equipment between bases and facilities. Other notable awardees include Downie Jones Ship Stores LIMITED and various small businesses providing maritime transportation services.

The Federal Contract Opportunities in this category reflect maritime transportation requirements, such as the Navy's solicitation for Crew Vessel Transportation Services.
