Ghostrock Systems Development, LLC

Ghostrock Systems Development, LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and Alaska Native Corporation-owned subsidiary of Three Saints Bay, LLC, delivers naval vessel material procurement, ship maintenance, and technical support services to the Department of the Navy almost exclusively as a prime contractor through delivery orders against indefinite delivery vehicles. The company operates from Anchorage, Alaska, and competes overwhelmingly under competitive 8(a) set-asides, with 94 percent of its award portfolio concentrated in ship building and repairing (NAICS 811211) and 96 percent of its combined potential value anchored to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA).

Ghostrock's customer concentration is extreme and narrow. NAVSEA accounts for 556 awards totaling $10.4 billion in combined potential value across 98 percent of recent awards. The company has worked with the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command ($133.2 million across 4 awards), Naval Supply Systems Command ($79.7 million across 3 awards), and Naval Air Warfare Center ($38.6 million across 2 awards), with minimal work outside the Navy. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service represents the second-largest potential value in the portfolio ($50 billion) through Ghostrock's recently awarded OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029), though that vehicle has not yet produced material task order activity. The company serves 11 distinct federal agencies by count but derives approximately 100 percent of actionable revenue from Navy customers.

The core capability footprint centers on material support and repair parts procurement for multiple naval vessel classes—guided-missile destroyers (DDG-class), cruisers (CG-class), amphibious transport ships (LPD/LSD-class), aircraft carriers (CVN-class), littoral combat ships (LCS-class), and amphibious assault ships (LHD-class)—with work performed primarily at Naval Base San Diego and the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center. Ghostrock also delivers financial support services to Naval Air Warfare Center and engineering and technical services for surface combatants. Representative work includes a $1.78 billion cost-no-fee delivery order (awarded September 25, 2025, through NAVSEA) for hull system alteration (MACHALTS) engineering and technical services; an $18.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (July 1, 2025, through NAVSEA) for engineering, technical, and acquisition support for DDG-51, LCS, and DDG-1000 class surface combatants; a $33.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (July 9, 2025, through Naval Air Warfare Center) for financial support services to the Comptroller Group and Business and Financial Management Center at Patuxent River, Maryland, extending through January 31, 2031; and a $15.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract (December 9, 2024, through Naval Supply Systems Command) for logistics and flight line support services at Lemoore, California, extending through December 8, 2029. Most awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders under $250,000 supporting individual vessels or maintenance facilities.

Ghostrock holds two major parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract N5523621D0031 (NAVSEA-managed competitive 8(a) contract, $25.1 million, December 4, 2029) anchors 537 task orders worth $24.1 million in combined potential value and spans material support, service support, and incentive fee work across ship classes and Southwest Regional Maintenance Center facilities. The company recently acquired a position on Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG, a Navy-wide indefinite delivery vehicle for engineering, technical, and logistics services) from which it has drawn 20 task orders worth $446 million in combined potential value, including the large financial support and combat systems engineering awards noted above. Smaller vehicles include the 8(a) Incubator for Programmatic, Engineering and Logistics Support (3 task orders, $6.5 million) and Indefinite Delivery Contract N6449825D0001 (4 task orders, $3.8 million).

Recent activity shows modest year-over-year decline. Ghostrock received 120 awards in 2024 and 106 in 2025, then slowed to 74 in 2026 with only 3 awards so far in 2027 (as of mid-April 2027). Twenty-one awards totaling $62 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. The company competes on a 100-percent prime basis; it does not subcontract on federal awards in its portfolio.

On federal service contracts captured in SCI (the Service Contract Inventory, which covers service contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and classified work), Ghostrock reported invoiced revenue of $34.7 million across FY2022 through FY2025. FY2025 saw a significant step increase: $25.7 million in invoiced revenue across 187 FTEs, up from $5.8 million and 43.8 FTEs in FY2024. The trajectory reflects recent large contract awards, particularly the financial support and engineering support vehicles. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $67.83 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $44.82 and the 90th percentile at $92.07, reflecting a mix of labor-intensive ship support work and specialized engineering positions. SCI data shows Ghostrock subcontracts on average 33 percent of contractor hours across its prime contracts to 22 named subcontractors, indicating it builds internal teams but routinely leverages subs for specialized labor on larger efforts.

Ghostrock's 8(a) certification, valid through July 27, 2027, anchors its competitive posture. The company operates exclusively under set-aside vehicles—nearly all Competitive 8(a) designations on its delivery orders, with the OASIS+SB IDIQ as a total small business vehicle and Seaport-NXG providing non-set-aside opportunity. The parent entity, Three Saints Bay, LLC, is classified as an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned firm, minority-owned business, and self-certified small disadvantaged business, providing the ownership structure supporting Ghostrock's federal certification profile.
