Mclean Contracting Company

Mclean Contracting Company (doing business as Mclean Contracting Co), a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Glen Burnie, Maryland, provides floating crane services, barge rental and towing, marine vessel lift and testing, and heavy civil infrastructure construction to the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of the Navy, and the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) competing on full-and-open, non-set-aside basis across civilian federal agencies.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily in maritime and naval infrastructure. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard dominates by award count (105 awards, $35.9 million combined potential value), driven by repeat task orders under a single-award IDC for floating crane services at the Curtis Bay facility in Baltimore, Maryland. The Department of the Navy splits across three sub-agencies — the Naval Installations Command ($71.2 million combined potential value across three awards), Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($34 million across four awards), and Bureau of Naval Personnel ($137 thousand across six awards) — combining to anchor most of the vendor's dollar value. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 ($19.7 million), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore ($15 million), and the Federal Highway Administration ($250 thousand) round out the active set. By volume, the Coast Guard accounts for 66% of awards; by dollars, Navy Installations Command, Coast Guard, and Navy NAVFAC together represent 96% of combined potential value.

Mclean's primary vehicles are single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The firm holds the Coast Guard's floating crane IDC (HSCG4014D60782) valued at $6.07 million running through March 2027, which generated 36 task orders. Additional IDCs with Navy and Army Corps of Engineers entities carry task orders for dredging, pier replacement, and vessel support services. Representative prime work includes a $63.5 million definitive contract from Navy Installations Command (awarded August 2023, completing September 2025) for replacement of the Yard Patrol Pier and wave screen at Naval Support Activity Annapolis; multiple delivery orders under the Coast Guard floating crane IDC, ranging from $563 thousand to $900 thousand for vessel docking, undocking, and lifting operations at Curtis Bay; and a $19.7 million environmental remediation project with EPA Region 3. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on navigational services to shipping (48 awards by NAICS), heavy and civil engineering construction (31 awards), and equipment rental and leasing (21 awards), with PSC concentration in ship and marine equipment maintenance, repair, and rebuild (40 awards) and equipment and materials testing for marine machinery (18 awards).

Activity has remained flat to modest over the past five years — two to six awards annually from 2022 through 2026 — with only one award (combined potential value $917 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, reflecting low near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates overwhelmingly as a prime contractor; across SCI-reportable service contracts, which captured $1.3 million in invoiced revenue in FY2022 and zero invoiced revenue in FY2023 and FY2024, government-paid median rates ran around $583/hr, with senior labor pricing through $620/hr. SCI records show 4.2 FTEs in FY2022, 0.0 in FY2023, and 3.9 in FY2024; these figures represent only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and the vendor's substantial marine equipment and construction work. In its minor subcontractor role (2% of recent awards), the vendor delivers dredging and vessel support services to AECOM Technical Services, Cianbro Corporation, and 381 Constructors on Navy and Army Corps of Engineers shipyard and bulkhead projects. The vendor has operated in federal contracting since at least 1982 and holds SAM.gov registration dating to 2002.
