Bay City Marine, Inc.

Bay City Marine, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation headquartered in National City, California, delivers ship repair, maintenance, and modernization services to the Department of the Navy and related federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) on a mix of set-aside and full-and-open solicitations. The company specializes in pump and motor overhaul, vessel dockside and voyage repair, equipment procurement for naval vessels, corrosion control, and specialized technical services including deperm (degaussing and deperming) operations. Bay City Marine competes under total small business set-asides on a substantial portion of its prime work, though it also wins full-and-open competitive awards, indicating a hybrid posture across small-business-reserved and unrestricted competitions.

Bay City Marine's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Naval Sea Systems Command and Military Sealift Command. Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 175 awards totaling $790.3 million in combined potential value (75% of the vendor's total potential value), while Military Sealift Command accounts for 372 awards worth $158.9 million (15%). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration represents $92.8 million across 13 awards, and the U.S. Coast Guard accounts for $1 million across five awards. This concentration reflects the vendor's positioning as a West Coast ship repair contractor serving Navy operations and MSC auxiliary vessels. Representative prime work includes a $555.8 million multiple-award Littoral Combat Ship maintenance, repair, and modernization IDV awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command in May 2025 (running through May 2030) encompassing preventative maintenance, facilities support, corrosion control, and engineering services at San Diego and overseas locations; a $49 million single-award general ship repair contract with Military Sealift Command (awarded December 2024, running through January 2030) covering San Diego, Bremerton, and Oahu; a $73.8 million NOAA dockside repair IDV (awarded September 2023, ultimate completion August 2028); and a $35 million Naval Sea Systems Command multiple-award IDV for pump and motor repairs within 50 miles of San Diego (awarded March 2024, running through March 2029). Recent delivery orders exemplify the work: $1.546 million for FY27 dockside repairs to NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker (awarded August 2026), $171.8 million purchase orders for USS McFaul and USS Gonzalez sonar dome rubber components (July 2026), $383.1 million for deperm services via Military Sealift Command (March 2026), and $392.1 million for white oak timbers for graving dock keel blocks (September 2025).

The vendor's activity trajectory shows significant growth from 16 awards in 2022 to 59 in 2024, with a slight moderation to 49 in 2025 and 12 recorded so far in 2026 (a snapshot limited to the first nine months of the fiscal year). Only seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.3 million—a modest recompete cliff indicating mature, long-duration vehicles with substantial runway remaining.

Bay City Marine operates predominantly as a prime contractor, but subcontracts work to other maritime service providers. The vendor functions as a subcontractor to BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc. on multiple docking selected restricted availability (DSRA) and ship repair contracts (USS Mobile LCS-26, USS Essex LHD-2, USS Somerset LPD-25, USS Oakland LCS-24, and USS Oklahoma DDG-77), and to East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC on amphibious and Littoral Combat Ship maintenance work (USS Boxer LHD-4, USS Omaha LCS-12, USS Savannah LCS-28, USS Germantown LSD-42, USS Tulsa LCS-16, and USS Essex LHD-2). It also holds a minor sub position with General Dynamics Information Technology and Epsilon Systems Solutions for specific task work. These relationships position Bay City Marine as a capacity supplier and specialized service provider supporting prime shipyard operators competing for larger Navy maintenance availability and modernization contracts.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only one SCI record in FY2025 (as a named subcontractor), reflecting the vendor's portfolio composition—goods, equipment procurement, and fixed-price repair work dominate and fall below or outside the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. SCI is therefore not a reliable indicator of Bay City Marine's total federal services revenue or workforce. The vendor received a $738,990 Maritime Administration grant in 2021 for infrastructure improvements and capital equipment acquisition at its shipyard facility, supporting its ongoing capacity for complex maintenance and modernization projects.
