Crux Diving Inc.

Crux Diving Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Kenmore, Washington, provides commercial diving services and underwater infrastructure repair, inspection, and maintenance for federal water agencies as a prime contractor on 62% of recent awards and as a subcontractor on construction projects. The company holds SBA certifications as a women-owned small business and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business; it competes under woman-owned small business set-asides on purchase orders and smaller delivery orders, and on full-and-open basis for larger task orders against its primary indefinite delivery vehicle.

Crux Diving's customer base concentrates heavily on the Army Corps of Engineers, which anchors 15 awards valued at $5.3 million combined potential value—covering 82% of the vendor's award count and nearly 88% of its total potential value across all customers. The second-tier customer is the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (8 awards), followed by the Navy (4 awards), the U.S. Coast Guard (3 awards, $20 thousand combined potential value), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2 awards, $60 thousand combined potential value). The concentration disparity between award count and dollar value is minimal; the Corps dominates both metrics. Crux Diving also serves the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of the Army proper on smaller orders.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on underwater repair and inspection at dam and lock facilities. Recent prime work includes a $624,596 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Department of the Army for the Yakima Delta Turbidity Screen project (March 2026, woman-owned small business set-aside), a $763,571 delivery order from the Army Corps for LLA LGA Guidewall Repair in Pomeroy, Washington (September 2022 through June 2023), and a $384,284 delivery order for floating guide wall cable replacement at Lower Monumental Dam (September 2021 through April 2022). Smaller work includes hull cleaning services for the Coast Guard ($8,735 purchase order, May 2025; $4,800 purchase order, December 2022), submerged instrumentation replacement for the U.S. Geological Survey ($4,100 purchase order, January 2024), and commercial diving support for NOAA's Columbia River Survey ($47,450 purchase order, May 2023). The vendor operates as a subcontractor to Manson Construction Co on Army Corps civil works projects involving pile repairs, lock gate replacement, and wharf stabilization, including Alcatraz Island wharf seismic strengthening work (February 2023).

Crux Diving holds a multi-year woman-owned small business indefinite delivery contract with the Army Corps of Engineers (W912EF21D0002), established in June 2021 and running through December 2026, valued at approximately $2 million to $3.5 million depending on source statements. The vendor has drawn 15 delivery orders against this vehicle totaling $2.4 million in combined potential value. A secondary vehicle is the Waterfront Multiple Award Construction Contract, against which five task orders have been placed. Activity remained relatively flat across 2022–2025, with six awards in 2022, five in 2023, nine in 2024, and five in 2025; one award has reached ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (the March 2026 Yakima Delta project, valued at $625 thousand). The vendor also holds or draws against unnamed multiple-award contract vehicles with the Navy and Navy Facilities Engineering Command.

Across SCI-reportable contracts, the vendor documented 3.8 FTEs of federal service delivery in FY2024, all as a named subcontractor under a single SCI record; no SCI records appear for prime service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. The vendor's sub-award footprint shows repeated engagement with Manson Construction Co on Corps wharf and lock infrastructure projects. Crux Diving's NAICS profile splits between All Other Support Services (21 awards) and Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (15 awards), reflecting both stand-alone diving support and underwater infrastructure work embedded in larger civil works projects.
