About Illinois Marine Towing Inc.
Illinois Marine Towing Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Joliet, Illinois, provides inland river vessel maintenance, repair, and dry dock services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open procurement with mixed set-aside posture across its footprint. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canal Barge Company, Inc., itself a Subchapter S corporation. Illinois Marine Towing holds no SBA certifications and competes under both Total Small Business set-asides and full open designations depending on contract scope.
Illinois Marine Towing's capability portfolio centers on specialized maritime engineering for Corps-operated inland river towboats and maintenance vessels on the Illinois Waterway Project. Representative work spans dry dock inspection and comprehensive repair of motor vessels including the MV LaSalle, MV Channahon, MV City of Ottawa, and MV Creve Coeur; engine repowering and overhaul services (a $910,908 engine repower on MV LaSalle awarded May 2022 under Total Small Business set-aside); fire suppression system annual certification, inspection, and repair across the Illinois Waterway Maintenance Fleet ($182,990 time-and-materials contract awarded August 2024 running through August 2027); propeller work and shaft seal replacement; hatch and hatch-ring replacement; and U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection creditable inspections. Work is performed at multiple locations: Joliet, Lemont, Peoria, and Pleasant Valley, Iowa.
Customer concentration is singular. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and its Rock Island District represent 100% of awards (36 total across the source data, 20 awards to the broader Corps and 16 to Rock Island specifically), with $4.8 million combined potential value to the broader Corps and $1.7 million to Rock Island. The vendor places task orders under a single named Blanket Purchase Agreement, W912EK17A0004, with seven task orders and $623 thousand combined potential value. Most recent awards include a $584,535 dry dock and inspection purchase order for MV Channahon (August 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, completion April 2026), a $555,034 propeller work order for MV City of Ottawa (July 2025, Total Small Business set-aside, completion June 2026), and a $30,355 emergency repair order for MV LaSalle (March 2026, full open, completion March 2026).
Activity shows decline. The vendor recorded four awards in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 year to date. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($183 thousand potential value), representing minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor; no subcontract footprint is present in the source data. Combined potential value across all 36 awards is $6.5 million, with $5.6 million (87%) obligated. Primary NAICS framing is Ship Building and Repairing (21 awards) and Other Support Activities for Water Transportation (10 awards); PSC coding emphasizes Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment — Ships, Small Craft, Pontoons, and Floating Docks (19 awards).
