Island C Enterprises LLC

Island C Enterprises LLC, a small-business limited liability company headquartered in Kodiak, Alaska, provides vessel charter and marine transportation services to federal agencies primarily through total-small-business-set-aside task orders and purchase orders, operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor engagement.

Island C's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward three agencies that account for 100% of recent awards. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration leads by combined potential value at $10.6 million across eight awards, anchored by two multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts (each valued at $5.1 million through April 2028) for vessel charter services supporting NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Seattle area and at locations where PMEL conducts oceanographic and environmental monitoring research. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard ranks second by dollars ($8.1 million across ten awards) and holds the largest near-term recompete exposure. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Alaska Region places eleven awards totaling $736 thousand, primarily for Southeast Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network (SEAN) vessel charters supporting marine monitoring and zooplankton sampling along the outer coasts of Glacier Bay and Wrangell-St. Elias National Parks. The Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for the remaining three awards at $131 thousand combined.

Island C's primary NAICS concentration runs to Coastal and Great Lakes Passenger Transportation (19 awards) and Other Support Activities for Water Transportation (9 awards), with PSC coding split between Marine Charter and Passenger Marine Charter designations. The capability portfolio is operationally focused: vessel charter, at-sea logistics, helicopter hoisting support operations, marine monitoring survey delivery, personnel meals and lodging for field crews, and oceanographic equipment support. Representative work includes a $1.48 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Coast Guard (effective April 2026 through March 2031) for helicopter hoisting operations in Kodiak; a $1.93 million single-award IDC with the Coast Guard (September 2023–September 2026, set aside total small business) for vessel operations supporting helicopter hoisting, aerial delivery, and aircraft crew rescue; two $5.1 million multiple-award IDCs with NOAA (through April 2028, total small business set-aside) for PMEL vessel charter; and recurring small-business-set-aside purchase orders from the National Park Service for 15- to 16-day vessel charters ranging from $138 thousand to $168 thousand per order.

Activity shows volatility across the five-year window — three awards in 2022, eight in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and two to date in 2026 — with a sharp drop in 2024–2025 that has partially recovered in 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (a $680 thousand BPA call for Air Station Kodiak helicopter hoisting training support, due September 2027), placing modest recompete pressure on the portfolio. The two large NOAA multiple-award IDCs (combined $10.2 million) do not expire until April 2028, and the Coast Guard's new five-year BPA (April 2031 expiration) provides long-term revenue stability.

On federal service contracts captured in the Service Contract Inventory above the $150,000 threshold, Island C reported $1.2 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025 with a peak in FY2023 ($399 thousand across 1.4 FTEs). SCI records show 0.2 FTEs in FY2022, 1.4 FTEs in FY2023, zero activity in FY2024, and 1.6 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI-reportable contracts median around $398/hr, with senior labor pricing through $608/hr. Island C self-performs all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement across its SCI-reportable prime contracts. The SCI dataset captures only a narrow slice of Island C's federal vessel-charter revenue — purchase orders and firm-fixed-price delivery orders below or near the $150,000 threshold are not uniformly reported — and therefore understates total federal maritime services delivery.

Island C holds no government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide parent vehicles outside its five named IDIQs and BPA with the Coast Guard and NOAA. Task order concentration flows to single-award vehicles: the Coast Guard IDC 70Z08423DDL950003 carries three task orders totaling $1.5 million, and IDC 70Z08421DB1701700 carries two task orders totaling $634 thousand. The Alaska regional footprint — Kodiak, Juneau, and Seattle-area performance locations — defines the geographic scope of all work.

Island C Enterprises (ICE) provides Vessel based Marine Transportation Services for purposes of completing research, marine debris assessing and removal and other ocean based services requiring boat based support.
