Maritech, LLC

Maritech, LLC, a Massachusetts-based small business, provides specialized maritime engineering diagnostics and predictive maintenance services to the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company from Acton, Massachusetts, and has delivered over 150 prime federal contracts since 2004, with combined potential value of $3.1 million across its tracked award portfolio.

Maritech's capability portfolio centers on vessel measurement, alignment diagnostics, and structural analysis for maritime asset maintenance. Core competencies include strain gauge alignment measurements (the dominant service across the award history), 3D laser scanning for dimensional analysis and structural integrity assessment, vibration analysis and dynamic diagnostics, z-drive and propulsion shaft bearing alignment using specialized laser equipment, and wind-measuring-system installation alignment. Representative recent work includes a $100,607 strain gage alignment contract with the Coast Guard on USCGC Legare (modified to add $18,850 for additional corrective visits, completion March 2026), a $32,680 sole-source strain gauge measurement order for 270-class cutter propulsion shafts (awarded June 2026, five days old at snapshot date), and a $31,975 z-drive train alignment contract on USCGC Ida Lewis (June 2026). All three exemplify Maritech's focus on pre-drydock, in-drydock, and afloat measurement services that support vessel operational readiness for the Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 107 awards (68% of the total award count) and $1.9 million (61% of combined potential value), while the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command contributes 22 awards ($789 thousand) and Naval Sea Systems Command adds 9 awards ($103 thousand). The remaining five customer agencies together represent fewer than 2% of awards and dollars. This concentration reflects Maritech's positioning as a specialized vendor for Coast Guard vessel diagnostics at Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland, the primary hub for Coast Guard maintenance operations.

Maritech sits on one named parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0025323D5000 (Navy, 3 task orders). The bulk of the award history comprises purchase orders issued under FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures on competitive and sole-source bases, rather than vehicle-dependent task orders. Activity has been volatile — 12 awards in 2022, dropping to 2 in 2023, recovering to 5 in 2024 and 7 in 2025, then settling to 5 in 2026. Only one award (combined potential value $7 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting limited near-term recompete exposure for the company but also a contracted pipeline that has stabilized at low volume following the 2022 peak.

In its minor subcontractor role (4 sub-awards, 3% of portfolio), Maritech has delivered marine engineering labor and flow-testing services to Amentum Services, Inc. on overseas ship maintenance contracts (Bahrain and Egypt), and supplied central seawater cooling system testing labor to Vigor Marine LLC on the USNS Matthew Perry fiscal year 2025 regular overhaul and dry-docking availability. These sub engagements place Maritech within larger naval ship sustainment ecosystems where its measurement and diagnostics expertise plugs into broader repair availabilities.

Maritech's award portfolio is dominated by Coast Guard vessel-specific work — contracts are named for individual cutters (CGC EAGLE, USCGC Legare, USCGC Hollyhock, CGC Spencer, USCGC Penobscot Bay, and others) and clustered at Curtis Bay. The company's market position is that of a specialized, deep-expertise provider in a narrow niche (maritime alignment diagnostics and vibration analysis) with highly concentrated customer dependence on the Coast Guard, sustained pipeline of small-dollar ($6 thousand to $100 thousand) purchase orders, and established working relationships with the Surface Forces Logistics Center that have persisted across twenty years of awards.
