Davison Marine L.l.c

Davison Marine L.L.C., headquartered in Luling, Louisiana, is a small disadvantaged business that delivers specialized marine equipment, vessel maintenance, and repair services to federal maritime agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership and Subchapter S corporation, competing across both small-business-set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with roughly 58% of recent awards designated for total small business set-asides.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on three overlapping domains: manufacturing and installation of marine hardware (watertight doors, hatches, scuttles, and closures), field maintenance and overhaul of marine propulsion and auxiliary equipment (diesel engines, generators, pumps, turbochargers, and governors), and dockside vessel services (tank and bilge cleaning, sewage system flushing, exhaust system cleaning, sandblasting, and painting). Representative recent work includes a $678,852 Army Corps of Engineers contract for main engine overhaul on the M/V Benyaurd (awarded September 2023); a $213,561 Caterpillar C32 marine generator overhaul for the Mat Sinking Unit (August 2025); a $212,600 sewage tank cleaning and disposal contract for USACE quarterboats in Vicksburg (April 2026); a $63,805 Naval Sea Systems Command delivery of multiple watertight and airtight doors (March 2024); and a $103,740 Military Sealift Command watertight door replacement and survey contract for USNS ARCTIC (April 2023). Work is performed in Luling with delivery to customer sites nationwide—Baltimore (Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center), Vicksburg (USACE facilities), San Diego (Naval Base), and scattered port facilities.

Customer concentration is stark. The Coast Guard accounts for 58% of awards (65 contracts, $2.6 million combined potential value) and roughly 47% of combined dollars. Naval Sea Systems Command and the Army Corps of Engineers together add 28% of awards and 36% of dollars. The two dollar-value rankings diverge slightly—USACE's larger individual awards (engine overhauls, sandblasting) prop its potential-value share above its award count—but the Coast Guard dominates both metrics, anchoring the vendor's entire business model on recurring dockside services and marine hardware delivery to cutter maintenance and modernization cycles. NOAA, Military Sealift Command, and the Navy's Military Sealift Command round out the customer base with token exposure.

Davison Marine holds no parent vehicles (no GWACs, GSA Schedules, or IDIQs). Every award is a standalone purchase order, typically firm-fixed-price and under simplified acquisition procedures. This vehicle posture differs sharply from competitors with GSA or Navy-wide blanket contracts; Davison Marine must pursue each solicitation individually, creating continuous recompete pressure and limiting ability to field task orders against standing vehicles.

Activity has grown over the past five years—21 awards in 2022 to 33 in 2025—though 2026 year-to-date shows only nine awards across five months, suggesting the pace may moderate or reflect seasonal waterway-maintenance cycles. Seven awards (combined potential value $599 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure, concentrated in Coast Guard exhaust-cleaning and hatching contracts awarded in early 2026 with September 2026 completion dates.

The vendor operates entirely as a prime; no subcontract activity appears in the source. NAICS concentration spans Ship Building and Repairing (44 awards), Metal Window and Door Manufacturing (30 awards), and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair (19 awards), reflecting the breadth of work scope. PSC concentration emphasizes ship and marine equipment maintenance (39 awards) and marine hardware items (32 awards). The vendor registered in SAM in November 2021, suggesting a relatively recent federal market entry despite apparent operational tenure in marine services.
