National Maintenance & Repair Inc.

National Maintenance & Repair Inc., a small-business prime contractor based in Hartford, Illinois, delivers vessel maintenance, inspection, and dry-dock repair services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Coast Guard, operating exclusively as a prime across 166 awards with no subcontractor footprint. The company competes across a mix of small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with total set-aside posture split between Total Small Business designations and non-set-aside awards; recent work includes both set-aside and unrestricted awards, indicating flexible competition across multiple procurement pathways.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers dominates the portfolio — 55 direct agency awards and 82 awards through regional engineering districts (St. Louis, Rock Island, Memphis, St. Paul) account for 95% of all awards, with combined potential value of $87 million across the entire portfolio. The top ranking by award count and potential value converge: USACE St. Louis Engineering District leads by count (74 awards, $19.3 million), while the parent Department of the Army Corps of Engineers command totals 55 awards carrying $66.6 million. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 21 awards with nominal potential value ($14 thousand). This is a single-customer vendor whose entire business aligns to inland waterway fleet management.

National Maintenance & Repair holds five parent vehicles with the Army Corps of Engineers. The largest is a $49.5 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for vessel repairs and maintenance at the USACE St. Louis Service Base, running through May 2027, which anchors the vendor's primary work stream. Four additional IDVs include an $1.8 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912P907G0602) with 24 task orders, an $8.6 million Basic Ordering Agreement (W912P917G0001) with 24 task orders, a $3.8 million Basic Ordering Agreement (W912P912G0601) with 20 task orders, and a Basic Ordering Agreement for vessel repair (M/V Repair, no ceiling specified, running through October 2027). Representative work includes a $740,718 BPA call for the Dredge Potter dry-dock and hull inspection (February 2025, ultimate completion February 2027), a $1.135 million FY23 Dredge Potter maintenance and repairs BPA call (March 2023), a $571,007 delivery order for Dredge Goetz fleet inspection and maintenance (November 2022), and smaller hull-inspection and specialized-repair calls on towboats and barges throughout the USACE district network.

Activity has been sporadic. The source data span from 1988 forward, but recent annual award counts show two awards in 2026, two in 2025, one in 2023, six in 2022, and five in 2021. Only two awards face completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $780 thousand), representing minimal recompete exposure near-term; the $49.5 million BPA renewal decision in May 2027 will be the material recompete inflection. Capability scope centers on inland waterway vessel dry-docking, hull inspection, structural repair, component replacement, and Coast Guard certification across NAICS 48661 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC codes for vessel and marine equipment maintenance, with over 100 awards categorized under ship repair NAICS and 105 awards under the ship and small-craft maintenance PSC.
