About the company
Helmut's Marine Service, doing business as Helmuts Marine Service Inc., a small business based in San Rafael, California, supplies marine propulsion equipment, boat drives, and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The vendor is a for-profit corporate entity specializing in Volvo Penta commercial engines, diesel and gasoline propulsion systems, boat drive assemblies, and marine equipment maintenance and rebuild services across civilian research and operational vessels.
Helmut's Marine Service's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Interior. The National Park Service Intermountain Region accounts for 16 awards and $757 thousand in combined potential value — 58% of the vendor's total award footprint — driven by repeat small business purchase orders for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area marine equipment, fire boat and buoy tender engines, and specialized vessel repair work. The US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants represents the second-largest customer with 10 awards totaling $246 thousand in potential value. The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Department of the Navy round out active relationships. The top two customers account for 80% of recent awards by count and 93% of combined potential value by dollars, reflecting significant customer concentration within Interior.
Recent capability work includes a $100,023 firm fixed-price purchase order from NPS Intermountain Region (March 2023) for Volvo Penta commercial engines for a fire boat; a $127,139 award (August 2021) for Volvo Penta engines for buoy tenders; a $51,177 total small business purchase order (July 2025) for disassembly, troubleshooting, and rebuild of three failed boat drives at Glen Canyon using OEM parts and Volvo Penta protocols; and a $18,000 purchase order (June 2026) from NPS for repair of a Volvo D6 engine on the research vessel San Lorenzo in Santa Cruz, California. The vendor's award portfolio spans thirty-four years, with activity trending to two to three awards annually in recent years.
