About Heavy Engineering Industries And Shipbuilding Company K.s.c.

Heavy Engineering Industries And Shipbuilding Company K.s.c., doing business as Heisco, is a Kuwait-headquartered for-profit shipbuilding and watercraft maintenance prime contractor serving the Department of the Army in a full-and-open posture with no set-aside designations. Heisco operates as a parent entity with one named subsidiary, Gulf Dredging & General Contracting CO. KSC Closed, and competes exclusively as a prime contractor — 100% of recent awards are prime contracts or IDVs with zero subcontract engagement.

Heisco's capability footprint centers on ship building, repair, drydocking, and watercraft sustainment. The vendor's recent award portfolio reflects deep concentration in two NAICS categories — Ship Building and Repairing (153 awards) and Port and Harbor Operations (13 awards) — with corresponding PSC codes dominated by Combat Ships And Landing Vessels (81 awards), Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment Ship And Marine Equipment (23 awards), and Non-Nuclear Ship Repair West (16 awards). Representative recent work includes two multiple-award indefinite-delivery IDVs awarded by TACOM Life Cycle Management Command on January 30, 2026: a $69.8 million contract for Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Program Zone 3 pier-side maintenance, emergency repairs, and modifications for Army watercraft worldwide that do not require drydocking, and a $211.1 million contract for AWSM Program OCONUS Zone 2 operations covering scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repair, drydocking, cleaning, painting, inspection, and modernization services for tugs, landing craft, causeway systems, and pontoons. Both IDVs run through July 30, 2031, with place of performance in Kuwait and subordinate locations worldwide.

Customer concentration is extreme: TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors 65 awards worth $775.3 million combined potential value (78% of all potential value), followed by Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (21 awards, $178.8 million) and Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (20 awards, $33.7 million). The top five Army customers account for 86% of recent awards and 100% of combined potential value — Heisco has no meaningful non-Army federal customer base. The top five parent vehicles are Army IDCs and BPAs, dominated by Indefinite Delivery Contract W911S015D0038 (50 task orders, $38.3 million), Blanket Purchase Agreement W912D111A0026 (37 task orders, $516 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W911S012D0011 (31 task orders, $35.2 million). Activity remains active but modest — four awards in 2026 compared to a peak of fifteen in 2018 — with combined potential value of $995.2 million and combined dollars obligated of $197.7 million across 173 total awards spanning 2008 to present.
