Marine Jet Power Inc.

Marine Jet Power Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of marine propulsion systems and components based in Blacklick, Ohio, supplies specialized marine engine parts, jet propulsion units, rebuild kits, and related technician services to the federal government as a prime contractor on 809 purchase orders and delivery orders (99% of recent awards), with a small subcontract footprint on Coast Guard and Army vessel construction programs routed through Vigor Works LLC and Valkyrie Enterprises LLC.

The company's federal customer base is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division dominates the portfolio at 409 awards valued at $4.5 million combined potential value, followed by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware (143 awards, $509 thousand), the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (90 awards, $529 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (85 awards, $988 thousand). The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard places 33 awards valued at $942 thousand. These five customer entities account for 93% of Marine Jet Power's recent award count. When ranked by potential value, the concentration shifts slightly: DLA Land and Maritime remains dominant at $4.5 million, but the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal surfaces as the second-largest value customer with 11 awards at $1.3 million, signaling that Army maintenance and equipment programs represent meaningful dollar exposure despite lower award frequency.

Marine Jet Power operates exclusively under full-and-open competition; Total Small Business set-asides appear on three purchase orders (including a $226.7 thousand Coast Guard marine parts order from September 2023 and a $24.1 thousand Coast Guard jet marine parts order from September 2025), but the overwhelming majority of awards carry no set-aside designation. Representative recent work includes a $78 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for jet marine ejectors to support small boat platforms (March 2024), a $306 thousand DLA Land and Maritime purchase order for O-ring procurement (August 2023), a $226.7 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for marine jet power parts including air cleaners, gaskets, seal assemblies, cylinders, and digital data analyzers (September 2023), a $32.5 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for a Jetmaster assembly (April 2022), and a $6.7 thousand Coast Guard purchase order for jet propulsion technician services at Charleston, South Carolina (November 2023). Individual purchase orders typically range from under $100 to $36.7 thousand, reflecting the commoditized-components nature of the work. The combined potential value across all 814 awards (prime and sub) totals $10 million, with $12.6 million in obligated dollars.

Marine Jet Power holds task order authority under multiple Defense Logistics Agency Indefinite Delivery Contracts, including SPM7M109D5X60 (9 task orders, $95 thousand combined potential value), SPM7M109D5B15 (6 task orders, $85 thousand), and SPM7M111D5C56 (5 task orders, $66 thousand). These IDCs enable spot purchases of marine and defense hardware components across DLA's supply chain. The source references a $250 thousand DLA Land and Maritime IDV for diesel engine cylinder heads, though this vehicle does not appear in the top vehicles by recent task order count, suggesting it may be a standing but lower-utilization contract.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years: 22 awards in 2022, declining to 12 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $27 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its subcontract role, Marine Jet Power supplies waterjet hydraulic systems and pump assemblies to Vigor Works LLC (LRIP 4 and LRIP 3 waterjet system packages, May and September 2025) and delivers steering cylinders and onsite support to Valkyrie Enterprises LLC on the MSV(L) Emergency Manpower Deployment Phase program (September and July 2025). The NAICS concentration reflects the commodity nature of the work: Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (149 awards), Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit Parts Manufacturing (92 awards), and Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (71 awards) dominate the category footprint, with PSC codes emphasizing Deck Machinery (167 awards) and Ship and Boat Propulsion Components (118 awards).
