About Contender Boats, Inc.
Contender Boats Inc., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Homestead, Florida, builds and supplies specialized patrol and training vessels to federal law enforcement and national park agencies as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The company competes exclusively under small business designations and has no subcontract footprint — all twenty-five recent awards are prime contracts.
Contender Boats' federal customer base is concentrated in interior and maritime law enforcement. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Southeast Region accounts for eight awards valued at $1.4 million combined potential value, anchored by repeated 30-foot center console patrol vessels for Biscayne National Park and a 32-foot step-hull vessel for Virgin Islands National Park. The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) placed four awards totaling $1 million combined potential value for training vessels, including twin-engine 30-foot Contender Tournament models. These two customers represent roughly 60% of recent award volume by count. The company also works with the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service (a single award worth $3.2 million in potential value under Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5610R), the U.S. Geological Survey, and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4, collectively serving five distinct federal agencies.
Recent representative work includes a $232,404 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the National Park Service Southeast Region (awarded April 27, 2026) for a 30-foot center console patrol vessel equipped with twin 300 HP Mercury Verado engines and comprehensive law enforcement systems for Biscayne National Park; a $451,738 purchase order from FLETC (awarded September 30, 2025) for two 30-foot training vessels with twin Yamaha 300 HP engines; and a $327,060 purchase order from the National Park Service Southeast Region (awarded July 16, 2025) for a 32-foot step-hull vessel with twin 350 V10 Mercury engines and advanced electronics for Virgin Islands National Park. All visible awards are designated as small business set-asides.
The vendor's activity is episodic: one award in 2020, two in 2022, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all twenty-five awards totals $7 million, with $3.8 million obligated as of the reporting date. Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is minimal — a single award valued at $232 thousand reaches completion in that window. Contender Boats' product portfolio spans boat building (13 awards) and apparel and vessel accessories (12 awards), with primary PSC coding under Small Craft (10 awards) and Miscellaneous Vessels (9 awards).
