Boat Shop Incorporated

Boat Shop Incorporated, a for-profit small business based in Fairbanks, Alaska, supplies boats, outboard motors, trailers, and related marine equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on small-business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor competes across 131 awards dating to 2001, with a recent two-year cadence (two awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one as of July 2026) and combined potential value of $2.5 million, 91% of which has been obligated. Boat Shop Incorporated operates under primary NAICS 441222 (Boat Dealers) with secondary NAICS in boat building and engine equipment manufacturing, reflecting a specialized capability portfolio centered on watercraft procurement and maintenance for remote federal operations in Alaska.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of the Interior. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 accounts for 31 awards totaling $603 thousand of potential value, followed by the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region (14 awards, $532 thousand), the National Park Service Alaska Region (12 awards, $201 thousand), US Geological Survey Alaska Science Center (7 awards, $64 thousand), and smaller volume from Fish and Wildlife Service Regions 1 and 5. These five customer segments represent 60% of combined potential value across the full vendor footprint. The top-customer concentration signals deep embeddedness in DOI's Alaska operations — refuge and preserve management, mining compliance, search and rescue, and research camp transportation — rather than diversification across civilian or defense agencies.

Recent representative work includes a $58,140 firm-fixed-price purchase order from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (awarded July 1, 2026, delivery due July 31, 2026) for one Alweld Model 2470V jet boat for Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge; a $81,735 purchase order from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 (July 2021) for a 2021 Wooldridge 20-foot Alaskan XL boat, Yamaha outboard jet motor, and tandem-axle trailer for Yukon Flats operations; and a $91,738 purchase order from the Alaska Region (September 2022) for a river boat and trailer to support multiple DOI bureaus. Boat Shop Incorporated also performs maintenance work — a $17,922 total small business set-aside purchase order (January 2024) from Fish and Wildlife Service for a complete powerhead rebuild on a Kingfisher sports jet at Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge.

The vendor holds a position on one blanket purchase agreement (BPA 140L0218A0001) with one task order recorded. Activity is sparse by modern federal-contracting standards; only one award completes in the next twenty-four months ($58 thousand potential value). The vendor's entire award history is prime work — no subcontract footprint — and competes on full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles, with no participation in GWACs or multi-agency IDIQs. Boat Shop Incorporated's strategic footprint is narrow: specialized marine equipment supply and maintenance exclusively to DOI bureaus operating in Alaska's remote refuges, preserves, and research facilities.
