Kongsberg Maritime Inc.

Kongsberg Maritime Inc., a foreign-owned maritime systems supplier headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates as a prime contractor supplying original equipment manufacturer propulsion components, steering gear parts, dynamic positioning systems, and integrated bridge system maintenance to federal maritime agencies — predominantly the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of the Navy. The company does not compete in set-aside categories and competes full-and-open across all customer segments. Kongsberg Maritime Inc. is a division of Kongsberg Maritime AS, a foreign-owned parent entity based in Norway.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on specialized maritime equipment and technical services. Representative work includes: a $14.99 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Coast Guard (awarded June 2023, extended through June 2028) for Kongsberg FF375S jet drive parts supplying the 45-foot Response Boat-Medium small boat fleet, with twelve firm fixed-price delivery orders issued since award ranging from $42,809 to $2.47 million; a $49 million multiple-award IDIQ with Military Sealift Command (awarded April 2026 through September 2031) for propulsion systems parts and services; a $4.27 million single-award IDC with the Coast Guard (awarded July 2024 through July 2026) for integrated bridge system maintenance on the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw; and purchase orders from Military Sealift Command for steering gear actuators, controlled-pitch propeller spare parts for T-AO and T-AKE class tankers, and bow thruster components at values between $30,000 and $285,000. The vendor also performs dynamic positioning system tuning, health checks, and grooming services for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessels and supports the Maritime Administration's Engine Room Simulator at Kings Point through a long-term system support contract extending to July 2029.

Customer concentration is acute and heavily weighted to two agencies. The Coast Guard accounts for 180 awards with $66.4 million combined potential value (49% of the total portfolio), while Military Sealift Command accounts for 64 awards with $53.6 million combined potential value (39% of the total portfolio). Together, these two customers represent 244 awards and $120 million in combined potential value, equating to approximately 88% of all federal work. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Naval Air Systems Command account for the remaining tracked customers, with combined values below $10 million.

Kongsberg Maritime Inc. holds multiple active IDIQs anchoring its federal footprint. The $14.99 million Coast Guard IDIQ for FF375S jet drive parts has sustained twelve delivery orders since June 2023. The $49 million Military Sealift Command IDIQ for propulsion systems parts and services (awarded April 2026) represents the largest single vehicle. The $4.27 million Coast Guard integrated bridge system maintenance IDIQ for CGC Mackinaw (awarded July 2024) and an earlier $5.83 million Coast Guard IDIQ (noted in prior summaries through July 2026) represent secondary vehicles. Additional parent vehicles include older Coast Guard and Navy indefinite-delivery contracts with smaller remaining task order activity.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years, averaging 20 awards annually with modest growth to 30 awards in 2024 before declining to 27 in 2025 and 3 in the first quarter of 2026 (a year-to-date data artifact). The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months carries minimal near-term exposure: only 2 awards with combined potential value of $3 million face ultimate completion dates within the window. The $4.27 million integrated bridge system maintenance IDC expires July 23, 2026, but represents a renewal opportunity rather than a cliff.

Kongsberg Maritime Inc. operates primarily as a prime contractor (98% of 500 total awards) with minimal subcontract exposure. Recent sub-work shows the vendor supplying propulsion and steering components, materials, and labor services to Oceanetics Inc. on vessel repair task orders for the M/V Petrel (nine sub-awards in 2025) and to Crowley Government Services Inc. on a vessel modification and maintenance contract for the Cape Arundel (two sub-awards in June 2025).

The vendor's work spans three primary NAICS categories: Ship Building and Repairing (128 awards), Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (81 awards), and Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (64 awards). PSC coding reflects maritime propulsion and marine equipment repair emphasis: Non-Nuclear Ship Repair—East (107 awards), Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (38 awards), and Ship and Boat Propulsion Components (33 awards). The combined potential value across 500 awards totals $136.4 million, with $60.5 million obligated to date (44% realization).
