About the company
Creative Systems, Inc., headquartered in Port Townsend, Washington, develops and licenses General Hydrostatics (GHS) naval architecture and marine engineering software to federal maritime and coastal agencies, operating as a prime contractor on purchase orders and definitive contracts without set-aside designations. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for-profit manufacturer specializing in proprietary software for ship stability analysis, marine engineering modeling, and regulatory compliance.
Creative Systems operates exclusively as a prime contractor—all 88 awards in recent years are prime awards with zero subcontract footprint. The company competes in full-and-open procurements; while designated as a small disadvantaged business, it does not pursue SBA set-asides. Customer concentration is severe and bimodal by agency, with two customers accounting for roughly 97% of combined potential value: the U.S. Coast Guard (39 awards, $509 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (22 awards, $446 thousand combined potential value). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia ranks third (11 awards, $97 thousand), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2 awards, $43 thousand) and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (5 awards, $19 thousand). The top three customers cover 90% of awards. Representative work includes a five-year definitive contract with the Coast Guard for annual GHS software renewals, maintenance support, and software keys valued at $76,050 (February 2024 through February 2029), a $73,105 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for GHS base program and advanced feature modules under total small business set-aside (March 2026), a $39,045 Coast Guard contract for annual advanced GHS training at the Marine Safety Center (September 2024 through August 2029), and a $25,500 Naval Sea Systems Command order for three-day on-site GHS instructor-led training (January 2026). Most recent awards cluster in software licensing, subscription renewals, and training delivery; the company serves as a sole-source provider due to GHS's proprietary status.
Activity has been volatile and is currently contracting. The past five years show peaks in 2022 (6 awards) and 2023 (3 awards), followed by a sharp decline to 5 awards in 2024, 1 award in 2025, and 3 awards year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all 88 awards is $1.2 million, with $1.1 million obligated (91% execution rate). Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying $4 thousand in potential value, meaning minimal recompete exposure in that window. By NAICS framing, 54 awards map to Software Publishers, with secondary activity in Computer Training (7 awards) and Custom Computer Programming Services (4 awards). By PSC, Information Technology Software accounts for 33 awards, followed by Education/Training IT/Telecommunications (10 awards) and perpetual-license Business Application Software (9 awards).
