Kens Marine Service Inc.

Kens Marine Service Inc., Ken's Marine Services Division, operates as a for-profit marine environmental response contractor delivering oil spill mitigation, hazardous chemical incident response, and emergency maritime services to the U.S. Coast Guard as a 100% prime contractor, competing under full-and-open procurement without small business set-aside designations.

Kens Marine is headquartered in Bayonne, New Jersey, with SAM.gov registration dating to 2002. The vendor's capability portfolio centers narrowly on environmental emergency response — labor, materials, and equipment mobilization to mitigate oil spills and hazardous chemical incidents at coastal and inland waterway locations across New Jersey, New York, and Maine. The vendor also provides specialized diving services and vessel emergency response. Representative recent work includes a $50,000 delivery order from the Coast Guard in July 2026 for oil spill mitigation labor and materials in Brooklyn, New York; a $4,239.32 delivery order in January 2025 for hazardous incident response in Highlands, New Jersey; and a $412,408 delivery order in July 2022 for emergency response preparation and response in the Bronx, New York. All work is executed under time-and-materials pricing against a $1.99 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Coast Guard, valid through August 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Coast Guard accounts for 56 of 71 recent awards (80% coverage) and $7.5 million of the combined potential value, with a single National Park Service Northeast Region award of $11,000 rounding out the customer set. The Coast Guard's operational footprint with Kens Marine spans five active Basic Ordering Agreements: HSCG8410A500007 (12 task orders, $761 thousand combined potential), HSCG8417AB00024 (11 task orders, $554 thousand), DTCG8404A500112 (6 task orders, $2.9 million), HSCG8415AB00001 (5 task orders, $130 thousand), and 70Z08423GB0004100 (4 task orders, $56 thousand). The vendor's award category concentration aligns tightly with this mission: 51 of 71 awards fall under Remediation Services NAICS, with 48 awards coded to Environmental Systems Protection Oil Spill Response PSC and 12 to Environmental Systems Protection Environmental Remediation PSC.

Activity volume has declined materially. The vendor recorded two awards in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 71 awards stands at $10.4 million with $5.7 million obligated (54% utilization). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no participation in government-wide vehicles or federal schedules beyond its Coast Guard BOAs. This positioning creates acute concentration risk: recompete or loss of Coast Guard BOA renewals would eliminate the vendor's federal revenue base.
