Economy Boat's federal contract award history demonstrates a comprehensive portfolio of services spanning marine fuel delivery, vessel supply provisioning, and operational support. The company has been awarded over 40 prime federal contracts since 2021, with contract values ranging from approximately $46,000 to $810,000. Primary services include the delivery of marine gas oil, diesel fuels (both dyed off-road and commercial grades), fuel oil grades RME-180 and RMG-380, and very low sulfur fuel oil delivered via barge, truck, and pipeline to U.S. government vessels at various ports worldwide. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy has been the primary funding agency, awarding Economy Boat numerous purchase orders under the SEA Card Online program and the FEPEC Ship's Bunker solicitation for spot-buy, as-required fuel deliveries to Department of Defense and federal civilian agency vessels. Additionally, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded Economy Boat multiple contracts for specialized marine diesel fuel deliveries to support dredging operations on the Mississippi River and Upper Mississippi River systems, many designated as Total Small Business set-asides. Beyond fuel services, Economy Boat has received contracts from the Army Corps of Engineers for groceries and provisions to support low water and high water inspection trips, as well as marine supplies and materials for dredge support operations. All contracts identified in the award history were prime awards with no identified subcontractors, underscoring Economy Boat's direct operational capacity to fulfill government requirements.
