Charlie Fox

Charlie Fox, doing business as Cfoxweather, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) sole proprietorship based in San Clemente, California, delivers specialized nearshore meteorology and oceanography training to military maritime operations personnel as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor is SBA-certified as both a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and a veteran-owned small business, competing across both set-aside and unrestricted procurement vehicles.

Cfoxweather's capability portfolio centers on one-day training courses and environmental intelligence advisory services for Naval Special Warfare and special operations personnel, covering topics including predicting and exploiting nearshore weather and sea conditions, shoreline mapping, and oceanographic analysis to support maritime operations. The training capacity runs to approximately 70 students annually across multiple locations, primarily San Clemente, California and the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Representative prime awards include a $6,250 delivery order from US Fleet Forces Command (August 2026) for Custom Waterman Class training under a small-business set-aside, a $6,250 delivery order from the Department of the Navy (May 2026) for Basic Waterman training under a total small business set-aside, and a $7,200 delivery order from US Special Operations Command (October 2024) for Basic Waterman training under full-and-open competition.

Customer concentration is extreme: US Special Operations Command accounts for 100% of the 37 prime awards in the source portfolio, with 31 awards valued at $442 thousand combined potential value. The remaining four awards split among the Department of the Navy proper, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and US Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic), collectively totaling $28 thousand. The single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with USSOCOM, valued at $150 thousand and running through October 2028, serves as the primary vehicle for the vendor; 20 task orders under that IDC carry $98 thousand in combined potential value, while a second Navy IDC (H9224024D0002) has generated 14 task orders valued at $67 thousand.

Recent activity has remained flat to slightly declining — four awards in 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and three through August 2026. The vendor's combined potential value across all 37 recent awards stands at $471 thousand, with $171 thousand (36%) obligated to date, positioning Cfoxweather as a low-dollar, specialized-training vendor with minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.
