1000 Island Airboats LLC

1000 Island Airboats LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Marion, Wisconsin, manufactures Special Purpose Craft–Ice Rescue Transport (SPC-IRT) vessels and integrated logistics support for the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates almost entirely as a prime (83% of awards) and competes in the small craft and specialized marine-equipment procurement space under NAICS 336612 (boat building).

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Coast Guard. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for three awards and $12 million in combined potential value (100% of the Coast Guard's footprint and 86% of the vendor's total potential value across all six awards). The Department of Justice's U.S. Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division places two awards valued at $1.8 million; the Defense Logistics Agency appears once. The two customer rankings align perfectly, with no tension between volume and dollar concentration.

1000 Island Airboats' primary vehicle position is a single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Coast Guard (contract 70Z02326D93250001) awarded September 30, 2026, with a $6.1 million ceiling and a three-year base ordering period running through September 2029. A delivery order issued the same day calls for eight SPC-IRT II units with integrated contractor logistics support, valued at $4.9 million and due September 29, 2027. An earlier definitive contract from September 2024 for SPC-IRT II boats, valued at $983,800, closed out in January 2026. The SPC-IRT II is a 25-foot ice rescue airboat equipped with USCG SINS-2 navigation, infrared camera with stabilization, VHF DSC communications, and AIS transponder, designed to operate in sub-freezing inland and coastal environments for search and rescue, marine resource protection, and law enforcement. The eight vessels from the current delivery order deploy to five Coast Guard facilities in the Great Lakes region (Saginaw River, Sault St. Marie, Cleveland District, Sturgeon Bay, and Marblehead). 1000 Island Airboats holds a $302 thousand BPA under a separate vehicle and supplies electrical and insulation work as a subcontractor to Atlantic Diving Supply. Activity is intermittent (two awards in 2020, two in 2024, two in 2026) with one award ($4.9 million) completing within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for the current IDIQ and delivery-order backlog.
