Bluepoint Engineering LLC

Bluepoint Engineering LLC, a small business maritime repair contractor headquartered in Abington, Massachusetts, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) providing dockside ship repair, vessel maintenance, engine overhauls, tank cleaning, insulation renewal, and related services to federal maritime agencies under total small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit limited liability company competing almost exclusively under small business set-asides across its prime footprint.

Bluepoint's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense sealift and coastal maritime operations. The top four funding agencies account for 100% of recent awards, with Military Sealift Command dominating potential value (11 awards, $142.5 million combined potential value), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (9 awards, $78.6 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (36 awards, $12.6 million), and the Secretary of the Navy (1 award, $632 thousand). The divergence between volume and dollar rankings is pronounced: the Coast Guard places numerous small individual repair orders while MSC and NOAA anchor far larger delivery orders under master IDIQs. Bluepoint's work sits primarily under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC J998 (Non-Nuclear Ship Repair East), with secondary exposure in drywall and insulation contracting and water-transportation support services.

Bluepoint holds three significant prime indefinite delivery contracts totaling $214.8 million in potential ceiling value. The $140 million East Coast General Ship Repair IDIQ with Military Sealift Command (awarded November 2023, extending through September 30, 2028) supports voyage repair, tank cleaning and ultrasonic gauging, ballast and domestic system repairs, and general maintenance on sealift vessels including USNS Yuma, USNS Burlington, USNS Ericsson, USNS Patuxent, USNS Lewis and Clark, USNS Cody, USNS Joshua Humphreys, and USNS Grumman. The $73.8 million Fleetwide Dockside and Ship Maintenance IDIQ with NOAA (awarded September 2023, extending through August 31, 2028) procures dockside repairs and maintenance across NOAA's research vessel fleet at ports nationwide, with recent delivery orders for NOAA Ship Nancy Foster ($1.07 million), NOAA Ship Ferdinand Hassler ($1.33 million and $801 thousand), NOAA Ship Henry Bigelow ($1.34 million), and NOAA Ship Pisces ($97 thousand). The $1.66 million single-award Coast Guard indefinite delivery contract (awarded June 29, 2023, extending through November 30, 2023) provided ship repair and logistical support for USCGC Hamilton, with a $2.23 million firm fixed-price task order issued in summer 2023. Representative recent definitive contracts include a $1.49 million firm fixed-price award for USCGC Maple dockside repairs (September 2026, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina), a $1.10 million delivery order for NOAA Ship Nancy Foster dockside repairs under the NOAA IDIQ (August 2026), and a $1.34 million delivery order for NOAA Ship Ferdinand Hassler dockside repairs (September 2024). Bluepoint also holds a single-award IDC with the Coast Guard for dockside repairs to USCGC Katherine Walker ($950 thousand ceiling, awarded March 2026).

Award activity has grown year over year from six awards in 2022 to a peak of sixteen in 2024, with fifteen awards in 2025 and six in 2026 (reflecting partial-year coverage). Four awards carrying combined potential value of $2.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete on those orders. The company operates as a prime in 98% of recent awards, with a single subcontract under East Coast Repair & Fabrication (a $1.83 million sub on USNS Hershel "Woody" Williams lay berth and ship repair availability, March 2025).

Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reportable federal service-contract invoicing of $4.5 million across FY2024–FY2025, with $3.4 million in FY2024 (4.2 FTEs) and $1.1 million in FY2025 (0.3 FTEs). On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid rates ran around $552.49 per hour median, with a range from $334.95 per hour at the 10th percentile to $702.16 per hour at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 25% of total contractor hours, with three named subcontractors reported. SCI is a partial view covering only federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and excludes Bluepoint's goods procurements, micro-purchases, and classified work; the company's total federal revenue is substantially larger than SCI figures reflect.
