About the company
JMS Naval Architects LLC, a veteran-owned small business headquartered in Mystic, Connecticut, delivers naval architectural design, marine engineering analysis, and ship inspection and maintenance services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor, competing across full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles without federal subcontracting relationships.
JMS Naval Architects operates as a specialized marine engineering firm spanning 21 awards under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC categories dominated by marine engineering, ship inspection, and marine equipment assessment. The company's customer base concentrates heavily on two agencies: the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants (21 awards, $6.2 million combined potential value) and the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (7 awards, $5.2 million). These two customers account for 82% of recent awards and 66% of combined potential value. The National Science Foundation and GSA Federal Acquisition Service each hold material dollars, with NSF carrying a recent $4.256 million delivery order for ship inspection and maintenance services under the Multiple Award Schedule and GSA carrying $4.1 million across related vehicles. Across twelve distinct customer agencies, JMS has built concentrated exposure to coastal and marine research missions.
JMS holds two primary vehicle positions. The Multiple Award Schedule carries 17 task orders valued at $14.2 million in combined potential value, anchoring the NSF relationship and general-market access. A single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Interior (contract number ING17PC00034, awarded October 31, 2022, under Total Small Business set-aside) runs through October 30, 2027, with a $2 million ceiling and has issued 13 delivery orders totaling $1 million in combined potential value; recent orders include a $135,000 task order (July 16, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside) and a $108,500 order (July 28, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside) for naval architectural and marine engineering services in support of coastal and marine science programs. JMS also operates under a second indefinite delivery contract with combined value of $572 thousand across five task orders.
GSA labor rates span seven categories from Designer ($98.72 per hour, High School Equivalent, no clearance) to Principal Engineer ($189.55 per hour, Bachelor's degree, fifteen years' experience, no clearance), reflecting the company's marine engineering and technical-design posture. None of the labor categories require security clearance, consistent with JMS's focus on civilian oceanographic and coastal research work.
Activity volume remains modest and flat — one to two awards per year from 2023 through 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $244 thousand) reaching completion in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Total awards across the source's historical slice number 39 (all prime, no subcontracting), carrying $23.4 million in combined potential value, of which $6.5 million has been obligated. The company competes across both full-and-open and set-aside channels; the Total Small Business designation on the Interior IDIQ reflects its small-business profile, while recent NSF work carries no set-aside marking, indicating competitive capability independent of size designations.
