Canyon Marine Solutions LLC

Canyon Marine Solutions LLC, a Virginia Beach–based small business subchapter S corporation, supplies specialized maritime bearing components, bearing sleeves, seals, and stern tube water quality packages to the federal government as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) competing under full and open procedures with no recurring set-aside posture. The company has received over forty federal contracts since 2020, predominantly from the U.S. Coast Guard, with a combined potential value of $1.9 million and total obligated dollars of $1.7 million.

Canyon Marine's customer concentration is extreme and single-agency dependent. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 29 of 42 awards (69% of total volume and 74% of combined potential value), with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime placing 7 awards totaling $298 thousand in potential value. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and Military Sealift Command together represent 6 awards and $135 thousand in combined potential value. Coast Guard work consists entirely of firm fixed-price purchase orders for Thordon bearing sleeves, Traxi bearings, bearing staves, and stern tube water quality packages delivered to the Coast Guard's Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland, with ultimate completion dates clustered between 2023 and 2025. Representative Coast Guard awards include a $203 thousand sole-source purchase order (Jan 3, 2025) for Thordon HPSXL/C93200 bronze Traxi bearings for a WMEC 270 class cutter fin stabilizer shaft, a $161 thousand order (Apr 4, 2024) for five Traxi bearings under the original solicitation's total small business set-aside (though the award itself carried no set-aside), and a $123 thousand order (Dec 12, 2022) for a stern tube water quality package. DLA work targets aircraft seals (NSN 8511782453, 8511165393, 8511178413) under firm fixed-price delivery orders and a newly awarded single-award indefinite delivery contract worth $250 thousand with a July 1, 2026 expiration and a guaranteed minimum of one unit.

Activity has remained modest and flat. The vendor received 7 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Only one award (the $250 thousand DLA indefinite delivery contract, expiring July 1, 2026) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete risk. Canyon Marine holds no parent vehicle positions other than the single DLA indefinite delivery contract. In its limited subcontractor capacity, the vendor supplied Thordon SXL bearings to Huntington Ingalls Inc. for CVN 80 aircraft carrier engineering efforts (May 2, 2022), representing two sub-awards totaling an immaterial amount. The vendor's product footprint is narrow — primary NAICS categories are Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (12 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (7 awards), and Ship Building and Repairing (7 awards), with PSC codes clustering around Bearings, Plain Unmounted (19 awards), Packing and Gasket Materials (7 awards), and Ship and Boat Propulsion Components (3 awards). All work is performed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with deliveries to government logistics centers in Baltimore, Maryland and various DLA depots. The vendor competes under no SBA set-aside categories in its recent prime footprint despite the Coast Guard frequently posting original solicitations as total small business set-asides.
