Christie Brothers-Sbg JV LLC

Christie Brothers-Sbg JV LLC, a minority-owned, Black American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Summerville, South Carolina, operates as a prime contractor delivering maritime and coastal infrastructure repair, maintenance, and design-build construction services exclusively to the U.S. Coast Guard under total small business set-asides and competitive 8(a) designations. The vendor competes entirely within set-aside categories and operates a single-agency federal footprint with no secondary customer diversification.

All fourteen of Christie Brothers-Sbg's recent awards originate from the Coast Guard, representing 100% of its combined potential value of $62.3 million. The vendor holds two active parent vehicles: the Coast Guard RMACC 2019 indefinite-delivery contract (six task orders, $3.2 million combined potential value) and a single-award D7 RMACC Bridge Contract worth $50 million, awarded July 9, 2024, running through July 8, 2028, and set aside for total small business. The Bridge Contract has anchored recent activity — six delivery orders issued since January 2026 range from $172,900 for demolition of an Aton drum island at USCG Aids-to-Navigation Team Charleston to $4.474 million for design-build-construct work on the Savannah River entrance channel offshore ranges at Tybee Island, Georgia. A $2.591 million rebuild of Hillsborough Cut C Channel at Coast Guard Aids-to-Navigation Station in St. Petersburg, Florida (awarded September 28, 2026, completion May 26, 2027) and a $1.556 million rebuild of Choctawhatchee Bay Entrance Lights 3 and 4 at Coast Guard Air Station Pensacola, Florida (awarded August 17, 2026, completion May 9, 2027) represent the largest recent awards. Earlier work under RMACC 2019 includes dredging operations at multiple Coast Guard stations and bulkhead repair work in Jacksonville, Florida, awarded between October 2022 and May 2023. All work is firm fixed price.

Award activity has accelerated in 2026 (four awards to date, versus one in 2025 and two in 2024), though the portfolio remains heavily concentrated on near-term recompete exposure: three awards with combined potential value of $4.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported invoicing captured $919 thousand in FY2023 and $919 thousand in FY2025, reflecting modest federal services-contract activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold; the SCI dataset shows 1.1 FTEs in FY2023 and 0.9 FTEs in FY2025 on prime records, with government-paid median hourly rates around $194/hr and senior labor priced through $350/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average 20% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors appearing in the SCI data. The vendor operates no sub-awards and carries no teaming relationships to other primes — the federal footprint is entirely prime delivery to Coast Guard, with no secondary vendor exposure.

The NAICS and PSC concentration reinforces this narrow scope: all fourteen awards fall under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS), with thirteen coded to Repair or Alteration of Other Non-Building Facilities (PSC) and one to Maintenance of Canals (PSC). Place of performance spans Jacksonville, Charleston, Savannah, and Miami in Florida and Georgia, with individual orders executed at specific Coast Guard stations within that geography. The vendor's exclusive focus on Coast Guard infrastructure, combined with 100% set-aside competition and the seven-year ceiling on the Bridge Contract running through 2028, positions recompete of the Bridge Contract and continued small-dollar task orders under RMACC 2019 as the primary forward pipeline driver.
