Cabras Marine Corporation

Cabras Marine Corporation, a woman-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm headquartered in Santa Rita, Guam, operates as a prime contractor delivering comprehensive maritime repair, logistics, and equipment maintenance services to the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard, with 521 of 526 total awards (99%) as prime positions and work concentrated in Guam and across Indo-Pacific naval operations.

Cabras Marine's capability portfolio centers on ship repair and maintenance services, tug operations, and specialized maritime equipment maintenance. The vendor holds a $249 million Guam General Ship Repair 2022-2027 multiple-award IDIQ set aside for HUBZone firms, under which it delivers voyage repair availabilities, midterm availabilities, equipment overhauls, casualty repairs, and engineering support to Military Sealift Command and Navy vessels including USS Frank Cable, USNS Matthew Perry, and USNS Emory S. Land. Representative recent work includes a $32.2 million delivery order (August 2025) for USS Frank Cable November 2025 midterm availability (comprehensive systems overhaul and equipment repair), a $9.2 million delivery order (February 2025) for USNS Richard Byrd February 2025 midterm availability (voyage repair services), and a $6.1 million delivery order (June 2025) for USS Emory S. Land June voyage repair availability. Cabras Marine also holds a $7.425 million single-award IDIQ for on-call tug and marine services in Guam (awarded April 2023 through March 2028, total small business set-aside) and a $1.62 million Pacific Air Forces single-award IDIQ for cranes and hoists maintenance and certification at Yigo, Guam (total small business set-aside, November 2022 through October 2027). The vendor recently received a $198,544 federal grant from FEMA under the Port Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.056) for maritime security and critical infrastructure initiatives in Santa Rita-Sumai, Guam, with completion by August 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command accounts for 389 awards and $828.7 million combined potential value—97% of all awards and 97% of dollars across the entire portfolio. The remaining top customers (US Pacific Fleet Forces, 49 awards/$7.4 million; Coast Guard, 28 awards/$9.4 million; Naval Sea Systems Command, 11 awards/$1.2 million; Pacific Air Forces, 5 awards/$2.9 million) collectively represent only 6% of total potential value. This concentration reflects Cabras Marine's role as the dominant ship repair provider for Military Sealift Command operations in the Pacific, with nearly all revenue dependent on a single customer.

Cabras Marine places work under five named parent vehicles. The Guam General Ship Repair 2022-2027 IDIQ carries 73 task orders worth $114.9 million combined potential value. Three indefinite delivery contracts—N3220517D4904 (142 task orders, $100.7 million), N0003314D7509 (122 task orders, $76.2 million), and N3220516D3506 (34 task orders, $3.7 million)—appear to be multi-agency or legacy MSC vehicles accounting for $180.6 million across 298 task orders. A single-award IDIQfor tug services carries $7.4 million in recent delivery orders.

Award activity has declined sharply year over year. The vendor received 47 awards in 2022, 48 in 2023, dropped to 24 in 2024, recovered to 34 in 2025, and has received only 6 in 2026 to date. This trajectory reflects both the lumpy nature of ship availability scheduling and potential pipeline tightening. Seven awards (combined potential value $48.7 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across voyage repair availabilities and specialty maintenance tasks on major vessels.

Cabras Marine's subcontractor footprint is minimal. The vendor performs as a sub on five awards under prime contractors Crowley Government Services (two sub-awards for operation and maintenance of government-owned Maritime Prepositioning Force vessels, involving hydraulic pipe-fitting support and equipment replacement coordination) and Phoenix International Holdings (three sub-awards for research, development, test, and evaluation maritime operations involving deck equipment removal, restoration, and welding).

Cabras Marine's corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Saipan Crewboats, Inc. (woman-owned business) and Subic Drydock Corporation (minority-owned, woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned), signaling capability expansion into crewing and additional drydock repair footprint beyond the Guam primary base.

Set-aside posture is strongly HUBZone and total small business. The $249 million Guam General Ship Repair IDIQ and the $7.425 million tug services IDIQ both carry HUBZone or total small business set-asides, and recent delivery orders frequently repeat the HUBZone designation at the task order level. Cabras Marine does not compete in full-and-open markets; all primary vehicles are reserved for small business, and the vendor's competitive position rests entirely on its HUBZone eligibility and geographic location in Guam. Work spans NAICS 488210 (ship building and repairing, 362 awards) and 488320 (navigational services to shipping, 84 awards), with PSC codes concentrated in non-nuclear ship repair and marine charter.
