Coastal Marine Services, Inc.

Coastal Marine Services, Inc., a for-profit small business based in San Diego, California, delivers ship maintenance and repair services—pipe lagging, insulation, fireproofing, interior decking, and hullboard installation—to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders under multiple indefinite-delivery contracts and as a subcontractor to major shipyard operators. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (95% of awards) across a total small business set-aside posture, with the Navy accounting for 98% of award volume and combined potential value.

Coastal Marine Services holds three primary IDIQ vehicles with Naval Sea Systems Command and U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic). The flagship contract is a $9.4 million small business set-aside multiple-award IDIQ for commercial industrial services interior decking (awarded September 16, 2024, extending through September 15, 2029), covering removal, repair, installation, and replacement of interior deck covering systems on Navy vessels homeported within a 50-mile radius of San Diego. A second IDIQ, valued at $5.8 million and extending through October 31, 2028, supports pipe lagging removal, replacement, repair, and installation work on Navy ships homeported in San Diego and Mayport, Florida (awarded November 1, 2023). A third contract, a $5.3 million single-award IDIQ with U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) extending through June 2028, covers Surface Ship Engineered Repair and Maintenance (SERM) and Surface Ship Life Cycle Maintenance (SSLCM) programs, providing insulation, fireproofing, decking, pipe lagging, and hullboard installation for surface ships across the Atlantic Fleet. Representative recent work includes a $153,823 delivery order from U.S. Fleet Forces Command for USS WSC (DDG 81) insulation and pipe lagging (July 27, 2026), a $461,032 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for USS Tortuga (LSD-46) insulation, lagging, and mold remediation (August 26, 2025), and a $347,775 delivery order from U.S. Fleet Forces Command for USS Mason (DDG-87) interior decking and pipe insulation work (January 6, 2025).

Customer concentration is stark. Naval Sea Systems Command dominates the footprint with 2,314 awards and $215.3 million combined potential value (82% of total). U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) places 247 awards valued at $30.1 million (11% of total), and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces accounts for 207 awards valued at $7.7 million (3% of total). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard represents the only significant non-Navy customer with 26 awards valued at $3.1 million. The source's award portfolio spans primarily Navy ship repair at San Diego (1,640 awards under PSC Non-Nuclear Ship Repair West) and Norfolk (573 awards under PSC Non-Nuclear Ship Repair East), with subordinate activity in maintenance, repair, and rebuild of ship and marine equipment across multiple homeports.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—93 awards in 2022 rising to 151 in 2023, then declining to 147 in 2024 and 143 in 2025, with 55 awards captured in 2026 through July. The vendor's subcontract footprint centers on major shipyard operators and integration primes: BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (San Diego and Norfolk divisions) account for the largest share of sub awards across CNO availability and fleet modernization efforts; National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) issues sub awards for selected restricted availability (SRA) and docking SRA work; General Dynamics Information Technology places task orders for C5ISR systems support; and Vigor Marine LLC, Metro Machine Corp., Prism Maritime, East Coast Repair & Fabrication, Marine Hydraulics International, and HII Fleet Support Group route lower-volume sub work for lagging, insulation, paint, and structural repair on destroyers, amphibious ships, and littoral combat ships. The Service Contract Inventory dataset contains minimal coverage of the vendor's activity—only 2 SCI records (both as named subcontractor), all in FY2025, with 0.2 FTEs reported—indicating the vendor's primary work is procured through firm fixed-price delivery orders rather than labor-hour or time-and-materials service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold.
