Bayonne Drydock & Repair Corp.

Bayonne Drydock & Repair Corp., doing business as BDD, is a small business maritime repair contractor operating as a prime contractor on federal vessel drydocking, hull repair, and maintenance services, predominantly under small business set-asides across the U.S. Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, Navy, and Army Corps of Engineers. BDD is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Bayonne, New Jersey, and operates a full-service shipyard facility on the East Coast with primary NAICS classification 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC 9920 (Non-Nuclear Ship Repair, East coast).

BDD's customer concentration sits heavily with the U.S. Coast Guard, which accounts for 24 awards (45% of total awards) and $56.3 million (49% of combined potential value). The second-largest customer by dollar value is the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command, with two awards worth $32.4 million combined, anchored by a $27.3 million definitive contract awarded March 31, 2025, for regular overhaul and drydocking of the USNS Henry J Kaiser (T-AO 187), including tank deck overhead repairs, deck steel replacement, lifeboat and davit service, underwater hull cleaning and painting, and major maintenance tasks. The Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (5 awards, $5.8 million) and the Secretary of the Navy (4 awards, $5.5 million) round out the top three. The top five customers account for 74% of awards and 91% of combined potential value.

BDD holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Coast Guard, including a $26.3 million multiple-award IDC awarded July 15, 2025, for maintenance, repair, and emergency services on the Coast Guard's 140-foot inland icebreaker tugs and 120-foot barges (performance through July 2026), and an $18.6 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement awarded September 20, 2023, for drydocking and emergency repair services on WYTL 65-foot harbor tugs along the Northeast coast (performance through September 2028). These vehicles support competitive task order issuance for firm fixed-price work. Representative direct awards include a $2.16 million definitive contract with the Coast Guard for drydocking and repair of the USCGC Richard Dixon (March 2026), a $1.95 million purchase order from the Navy for regulatory drydocking and inspection on the Training Vessel Freedom Star (April 2025), and a $1.49 million definitive contract from the Army Corps of Engineers for repairs to the drift collection vessel Dredge Merritt (November 2024). Recent activity includes a $1.13 million delivery order from the Coast Guard for drydock repairs on the CGC Sturgeon Bay (July 21, 2026).

Nearly all awards (48 of 53) carry Total Small Business set-aside designation, with BDD competing predominantly under set-asides rather than full-and-open. The vendor also received a $730,477 project grant from the Maritime Administration's Assistance to Small Shipyards program (CFDA 20.814) in July 2023 to fund hydroblasting equipment and telehandlers for shipyard infrastructure upgrades. Activity has grown modestly — from 2 awards in 2022 to a peak of 9 in 2024 — with 7 awards in 2025 and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Only $1.1 million in combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. BDD has been active since at least 2007 and maintains no recorded subcontract footprint; all 53 awards are prime work performed at its Bayonne, New Jersey facility.
