About the company
California State University, Maritime Academy's Research And Innovation Office Division, doing business as California Maritime Academy, is a public maritime educational institution and federal grant recipient that operates as a prime awardee on small contract and grant awards for maritime training, ship repair, and ocean science research. The institution is a child entity of California State University, a state-controlled institution of higher learning based in Vallejo, California, and competes for federal work without set-asides in full-and-open competitions.
Maritime Academy's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in maritime and naval educational services. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 69% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Navy Naval Education and Training Command (11 awards, $167 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy (11 awards, $428 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (10 awards, $657 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel (7 awards, $72 thousand combined potential value), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (3 awards). The dollar rankings differ slightly — Maritime Administration holds the highest potential-value share at $657 thousand across 10 awards — reflecting the prevalence of smaller tuition and training delivery orders from Navy bureaus relative to larger ship repair work from Maritime Administration. The institution places task orders under four Navy parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0004 (11 task orders, $167 thousand combined potential value), Basic Ordering Agreement N0018918GZ029 (6 task orders, $72 thousand combined potential value), and two additional indefinite delivery contracts.
Capability delivery centers on NROTC midshipman tuition and educational services, training ship (TS Golden Bear) cruise emergent repairs, maritime equipment testing, and undergraduate-led ocean science research. Recent contract examples include a $300 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Maritime Administration (April 2026) for TS Golden Bear 2026 cruise emergent support, a $50 thousand purchase order from Maritime Administration (May 2024) for training ship cruise emergent repairs, and a $38.9 thousand purchase order from the Secretary of the Navy (March 2023) for TS Golden Bear 2023 cruise emergent repairs. Maritime Academy also delivers routine NROTC tuition delivery orders to the Bureau of Naval Personnel, ranging from $1.6 thousand to $18.7 thousand per semester or summer term.
Federal grant activity anchors to the National Science Foundation Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Maritime Academy holds two active Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) project grants: a $218.6 thousand award (September 2026 through August 2029) for theoretical methods in attosecond time delays in molecular photoionization and photodetachment, and a $151.9 thousand award (September 2023 through August 2026) for double photoionization to probe electron correlation in multi-electron molecules. Both projects involve undergraduate researcher participation and align with NSF's support for research at primarily undergraduate institutions. Maritime Academy also acts as a sub-recipient on two Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute grants for the Coastal Enhanced Monitoring for the California Current Ecosystem and Ocean Observing Initiative (CeNCOOS), working on ship-of-opportunity observing program development and developing ocean observing curriculum with community college faculty and Cal Maritime undergraduates; sub-award dates are January 2025 and January 2026.
Award activity has grown modestly year over year, from one award in 2022 to five in 2026, with a combined potential value across all sixty-one awards of $2.1 million. One award (the Maritime Administration TS Golden Bear 2026 cruise support at $300 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The institution competes as a prime contractor on 95% of its awards, reflecting its direct federal customer relationships in maritime training and research rather than a subcontractor posture. Category concentration splits between educational tuition and training delivery (23 awards under Education/Training PSC codes) and maritime ship repair services (8 awards under Ship Building and Repairing NAICS, 7 awards under Non-Nuclear Ship Repair PSC codes).
