Global Diving & Salvage, Inc.

Global Diving & Salvage, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Moran Environmental Recovery, LLC, operates as a prime contractor delivering oil spill response, hazardous materials remediation, marine salvage, and specialized diving services exclusively to the U.S. Coast Guard and allied federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no socioeconomic set-asides across its footprint. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and operating as a for-profit corporation, the company is the largest diving contractor on the West Coast and competes predominantly for federal emergency response and maritime environmental protection work.

Global Diving & Salvage's federal award footprint reflects hyperconcentration on Coast Guard work: 370 awards (80% of all awards) to the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard represent $153.8 million of the company's combined potential value across 536 total prime and sub awards spanning back to 1983. The next-largest customers—Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 ($5.3 million), Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District ($770 thousand), and Bureau of Reclamation ($404 thousand)—together account for less than 4% of potential value. The company also holds smaller awards from the Department of the Navy, Department of the Navy Installations Command, and Air Force Pacific (a $151,901 clear-well inspection contract at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, awarded June 2023).

Concrete capability work centers on labor, materials, and equipment for oil spill mitigation and hazardous chemical incident response directed by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator, containment boom operations, underwater construction, vessel salvage, oily waste disposal, and emergency preparedness support. Representative prime work includes a $9.5 million time-and-materials delivery order (UCGRFEM035) from the Coast Guard awarded August 2023 for broad spill remediation; a $2.5 million delivery order (UCGPA24010) for Sector San Francisco oil spill response, awarded May 2024; and a $370 thousand delivery order (UCGPH23002) for Sector Honolulu spill mitigation, awarded February 2023. The company also delivers smaller task orders (ranging from $884 to $430,000) across Coast Guard sectors from Alaska to Hawaii and California in response to actual maritime incidents.

Global Diving & Salvage's vehicle position sits almost entirely on five Coast Guard Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs), all indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structures. The primary vehicle is BOA HSCG8414AA00014, which anchors 147 task orders worth $40.2 million combined potential value and carries a three-year ceiling of $3.9 million awarded April 1, 2025, running through March 31, 2027. The second-largest is BOA DTCG8993A68F908 (73 task orders, $13.2 million potential value). Three additional BOAs (70Z08421GS0003400, 70Z08420GA0002900, 70Z08425GSEAT0001) collectively account for 112 task orders and $39.2 million. The company has held Coast Guard BOAs continuously since at least 2020–2021, when previous-generation agreements carried combined ceilings of approximately $1.98 million; the April 2025 award of the $3.9 million BOA represents the largest single vehicle the source tracks.

Activity has been robust and stable over the past five years. The company received 18 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 22 in 2025, and 10 through mid-2026. The relatively light 2026 count reflects only nine months of source data through October 15, 2026. The combined potential value across all 536 awards stands at $167.8 million, with $116.6 million (69%) obligated to date. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $620 thousand—a minimal recompete exposure relative to the company's overall footprint.

Category concentration reflects the company's mission specialization: 357 awards fall under NAICS 562920 (Remediation Services), 41 under All Other Support Services, and 19 under Ship Building and Repairing. The PSC coding aligns tightly: 353 awards are coded Environmental Systems Protection—Oil Spill Response, 27 as Salvage—Other, 16 as Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Ship and Marine Equipment, and 13 as Salvage—Marine Vessels.

On federal services contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory (SCI) above the $150,000 threshold, Global Diving & Salvage reported $39.6 million in invoiced prime revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2022 as the peak year at $18 million across 14.5 FTEs, FY2023 at $7.2 million across 8.7 FTEs, FY2024 at $11.3 million across 10.3 FTEs, and FY2025 at $3 million across 3.8 FTEs. The FTE count reflects time-and-materials delivery order work scaled to incident demand; SCI captures only service contracts above the reporting threshold and excludes goods purchases, products, micro-purchases, and non-federal revenue, so these figures represent a strict subset of the company's total federal invoicing. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ran a median around $525/hr, with the 10th percentile at $373/hr and the 90th percentile at $1,340/hr, reflecting a mix of labor grades from technical personnel to supervisory and specialized diving expertise.

Global Diving & Salvage operates predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of awards). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 26% of total contractor hours, with 17 named subcontractors reported across all prime records. On the sub side, the company subcontracts to larger primes for specialized work: named primes include Vigor Marine LLC (diver support for USS Gabrielle Giffords and USS Kidd depot modernization periods, awarded February–August 2025), Environmental Quality Management, Inc. (refloating and defueling operations for Hell's Gate sunken vessel, July 2025), Nova Group, Inc. (diving services for ammunition wharf contingent repairs at Naval Magazine Indian Island, September 2024), and Oceanetics Inc. (barriers sustainment maintenance with dive team and crane-barge support, October 2025). Sub work on these primes covers diver support for naval ship docking, maintenance, and salvage operations.

The corporate structure identifies Moran Environmental Recovery, LLC (parent, based in Randolph, Massachusetts) as the owner, with Global Diving & Salvage as the operating entity and Global Inshore, Inc. as a named subsidiary within the structure. Moran Environmental Recovery also holds federal contracting authority as a prime awardee.
