Inventech Marine Solutions, LLC

Inventech Marine Solutions, LLC, a small business boat manufacturer based in Bremerton, Washington, designs, manufactures, and delivers specialized marine vessels and associated equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company and competes predominantly under small-business set-aside vehicles, with 24 of its 40 total awards designated as total small business set-asides. Inventech's primary NAICS category is 336612 (Boat Building), reflecting its core capability in constructing rigid-hull vessels for law enforcement, emergency response, and maritime operations.

Inventech's customer base is heavily concentrated with a single agency. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 24 of 40 awards (60% of award count) and $194.8 million of the company's combined potential value of $218.8 million — representing approximately 89% of total contract value. The Coast Guard concentration reflects Inventech's dominant role as the prime builder on two large-ceiling IDCs: a $103.8 million single-award contract (awarded June 2021, running through May 2031) for procurement of up to 197 Cutter Boat, Over the Horizon 5th Generation (CB-OTH V) vessels with trailers, training, and documentation, and a $41.4 million single-award contract (awarded August 2025, running through August 2032) for Tandem Axle Nitrogen Bottle equipment and services. The remainder of Inventech's portfolio is distributed across GSA's Multiple Award Schedule ($21.2 million potential value), the U.S. Forest Service ($1.1 million across two regional offices), Army Special Operations Command ($632 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command ($2 thousand).

Inventech's task-order footprint is anchored on the two Coast Guard IDCs. The primary CB-OTH V IDC (70Z02321DACB01200) has generated 18 delivery orders totaling $46.2 million in combined potential value since June 2021. Recent CB-OTH V deliveries include a $10.8 million delivery order (issued September 30, 2026, completing June 29, 2028) for 20 CB-OTH V vessels with trailers, training, and shipping; a $13.7 million delivery order (issued September 19, 2025, completing June 18, 2027) for 23 CB-OTH V vessels, trailers, shipping, and training; and a $2.7 million delivery order (issued January 29, 2025, completing August 28, 2026) for three CB-OTH V vessels for Fast Response Cutters Vincent Danz and Jeffrey Palazzo plus one additional vessel to Guam. The Tandem Axle Nitrogen Bottle IDC (70Z02325D73120001) generated two delivery orders valued at $870 thousand combined. Inventech also holds a position on GSA's Multiple Award Schedule, through which it has issued eight delivery orders totaling $1.8 million potential value, including orders from the U.S. Forest Service ($592 thousand for a 33-foot vessel and $499 thousand for a boat with motor and trailer) and specialized equipment orders from Naval Sea Systems Command and the Defense Health Agency.

Inventech's activity trajectory shows steady growth. Awards per year increased from two in 2022 to nine in 2025, with eight awards issued in 2026 through September. However, nine awards carrying $27.7 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete exposure — most of these are small sustainment and training orders against the CB-OTH V IDC, though the $10.8 million vessel production delivery order awarded in September 2026 extends Inventech's revenue visibility through June 2028. Of the combined potential value across all awards, $52.8 million (24%) is currently obligated, indicating substantial remaining ceiling capacity on the two Coast Guard IDCs.

Beyond boat manufacturing, Inventech received a $378,079 Project Grant from the Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (CFDA 20.814, Assistance to Small Shipyards) awarded August 7, 2024, with completion targeted for August 6, 2026. The grant funds the purchase and installation of an electric clean paint booth with blast and spray capabilities at the Bremerton shipyard to enhance operational efficiency and employee skills in shipbuilding and repair.

Inventech competes exclusively as a prime contractor; the source records no subcontract awards. This prime-only posture, combined with 100% of awards concentrated on small business set-asides and GSA Schedule vehicles, positions Inventech as a specialized builder for federal maritime and vessel-related requirements rather than a systems integrator or teaming partner. Inventory and working-capital constraints typical of boat builders may create acquisition and pricing dynamics distinct from staffing-intensive service contractors, particularly around long-lead-time components and the episodic nature of vessel production schedules.
