About the company
Motive Power Marine, LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tacoma, Washington, performs naval vessel and barge maintenance, repair, and modernization services for the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor (87% of recent awards). The company operates a shipyard facility in Tacoma and the broader Puget Sound region, delivering dry-docking, hull and tank preservation, steel welding and repair, blasting and painting, electrical and mechanical systems repairs, and vessel inspections to Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Navy Installations Command. Motive Power Marine competes under HUBZone sole-source and Total Small Business set-asides across its prime portfolio; recent activity shows a shift toward full-and-open competitive awards alongside set-aside work.
Customer concentration sits entirely with Navy operational and infrastructure commands. The Department of the Navy accounts for 100% of the combined potential value across all awards, split between Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $19.6 million combined potential value), Navy Installations Command (1 award, $24.5 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command (1 award, $2 million). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard places four awards totaling $111 thousand; the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration holds one award. Navy Installations Command's single award—a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract issued July 2, 2026, with a $24.494 million ceiling running through July 1, 2031—anchors the vendor's near-term dollar opportunity and represents a structural shift toward sustained naval infrastructure work. The contract scope covers repair and modernization of three steel barge types (YC, UF, and UFDD) home-ported at six Navy installations across the Puget Sound region, with work including docking, welding, pipefitting, electrical repairs, and hazardous-materials handling.
Recent prime activity includes a $4.93 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for RCD Barge 40 maintenance (awarded March 3, 2025, completed September 5, 2025), a $2.878 million HUBZone sole-source Beluga Barge maintenance contract (awarded January 30, 2026, due June 11, 2026), a $1.99 million Total Small Business Beluga Barge contract from Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded June 6, 2025, completed August 11, 2025), and a $1.99 million Total Small Business YT-808 harbor tug maintenance award from Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded January 6, 2025, completed May 23, 2025). Motive Power Marine also received a $559,687 Project Grant from the Maritime Administration under the Assistance to Small Shipyards program (CFDA 20.814) in August 2024 to fund electrical upgrades, an electric air compressor, and a 12,000-pound capacity telehandler at its Tacoma facility through August 2026. Awards per year show growth from one award in 2021 and 2022 to five in 2025 and two in 2026 year to date. The vendor subcontracts as a marine yard rental provider under Kiewit-Alberici Siop MACC on a seismic repair dry-dock project and under Metro Machine Corp on a CVN-76 carrier maintenance delivery order.
