Mid-Atlantic Marine Cleaning LLC

Mid-Atlantic Marine Cleaning LLC, doing business as California Marine Cleaning, operates as a Virginia-based small business prime contractor (35% of recent awards) and subcontractor (65% of recent awards) providing ship maintenance, tank cleaning, fluid remediation, and chemical preservation services to the Navy and Coast Guard. The vendor is a wholly owned division of California Marine Cleaning, Inc., a San Diego-based Subchapter S corporation.

The vendor's customer base is sharply concentrated in naval maintenance. Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 21 of 26 total awards ($501 thousand combined potential value), representing 81% of the award count and 57% of combined potential value. The U.S. Coast Guard claims 3 awards ($378 thousand combined potential value), with the Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command each placing one award. All customer relationships are with the Department of the Navy or the Department of Homeland Security.

Mid-Atlantic Marine Cleaning's prime work centers on small-dollar purchase orders for specialized vessel maintenance performed in Portsmouth, Virginia and Chesapeake, Virginia. Representative prime awards include a $77,587 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2025) for chemical cleaning and internal preservation of a high-pressure air flask (Catapult #4) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard; a $70,420 firm fixed-price order from Naval Sea Systems Command (August 2023) for hydraulic fluid reclamation on two aircraft carrier catapults; an $85,430 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (March 2025) for hydraulic fluid reclamation and tank piping cleaning and preservation on CGC HOLLHOCK; and a $50,946 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Coast Guard (September 2026) for an oil flush on USCGC FORWARD. Five prime awards carry total small business set-aside designations; one (CGC HOLLHOCK) is unset-aside.

As a subcontractor, the vendor delivers marine maintenance labor and services under multiple prime contractors. Metro Machine Corp. is the dominant prime partner, with recent sub-awards spanning August 2024 through August 2025 on USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69), USS ARLINGTON (LPD-24), USS BUSH (CVN 77), USS OAK HILL (LSD 51), and USS PORTER (DDG 78) docking and maintenance availability contracts. East Coast Repair & Fabrication, LLC accounts for additional sub-awards on USS OSCAR AUSTIN (DDG-79), USS BATAAN (LHD-5), USS COLE, USS RAMAGE (DDG-61), and USS NEW YORK (LPD-21) supporting tank cleaning, fluid flushing, and preservation work. The vendor also subcontracts to VT Milcom Inc. (USS LABOON installations), Tecnico Corporation (USS NEW YORK HFP piping and USS SAN JACINTO preservation), and General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. (NAWCAD C5ISR systems support).

The vendor's primary vehicle position sits within the Complex and Non-Complex Maintenance on Surface Combatant and Amphibious Class Ships (Norfolk) IDIQ, which generated ten task orders. Additional vehicle exposure includes the Indefinite Delivery Contract N0002423D4100 (two task orders), the Navy's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (one task order), and the SPAWAR Afloat C4ISR Installations 2019 contract. Activity has grown moderately year over year from 2021 through 2025, with nine awards in 2025 and only one award in the first month of 2026. One award ($51 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. SCI-reported federal service-contract activity is negligible at this scale, reflecting the vendor's reliance on small-dollar purchase orders and subcontract delivery rather than large service-contract task orders. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $879 thousand, though obligated dollars ($3.3 million) exceed potential value, indicating contract execution and option exercise activity.
