National Maintenance & Repair Of Kentucky, Inc.

National Maintenance & Repair Of Kentucky, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business subsidiary of McGinnis, Inc., operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering vessel dry docking, repair, maintenance, and overhaul services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across multiple districts. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, though recent awards also reflect full-and-open competition on BPA calls and definitive contracts. Based in Paducah, Kentucky, the vendor operates under primary NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC J019, with specialized maritime equipment repair capabilities that support federal waterway infrastructure and fleet management.

The Army Corps of Engineers dominates the customer portfolio — 23 awards (86% of recent activity) carrying $56.6 million in combined potential value flow to USACE broadly, with district-level variation across St. Louis Service Base ($8.3 million across 9 awards), Nashville District ($3 million, 6 awards), Louisville District ($3 million, 7 awards), and Huntington District ($1.8 million, 4 awards). The Department of the Army command-level entity accounts for an additional 5 awards valued at $874 thousand. This concentration is decisive: vendor activity is entirely USACE-dependent, with nine distinct customer agencies named in portfolio data but USACE and its engineering districts representing 99% of combined potential value. Obligated dollars total $14.6 million (20% of $73.7 million combined potential ceiling), indicating early-stage execution across the portfolio.

The vendor holds two primary parent vehicles with USACE: a $1.5 million single-award BPA for dry docking maintenance and vessel repairs established June 2024 with a five-year term through July 2029, and a $49.5 million multiple-award BPA for vessel repair and maintenance at the USACE St. Louis Service Base running through May 2027. The first vehicle anchors repeated emergency and planned repair calls across multiple districts (MV Iroquois, ND-40, MV Charles Merrill, ND-104 dry docking and hull services); the second seats the vendor in a competitive multiple-award pool and has generated 4 task orders worth $2.4 million to date. Beyond these primary vehicles, the vendor places smaller task orders under five additional BPAs and agreements (W912P519A0004, W912P524A0002, W912P908G0606, W912P917G0003) carrying aggregate ceilings under $3 million combined.

Representative concrete work includes a $1.2 million total small business definitive contract (December 2025) for dry dock and repair of the M/V Kenneth Eddy at Old Hickory, Nashville, with scope covering drive shaft components, rudder assemblies, engine inspection and gearbox clutch replacement; a $648 thousand total small business BPA call (November 2024) for MV Stephenson II jumbo rudder and propeller modification at Paducah under the St. Louis Service Base vehicle; a $1.8 million total small business purchase order (September 2025) for vessel cleanout, assessment, and storage at Olmsted, Illinois; a $658 thousand total small business BPA call (August 2024) for FY24 Pathfinder dry dock inspections and Grand Tower dry dock repairs and paint; and recurring emergency repairs including $291 thousand for MV Iroquois and ND 40 dry docking (April 2026), $199 thousand for ND-104 drydocking and hull services (December 2024), and $157 thousand for vessel maintenance (March 2025). Work is performed primarily at Paducah, Kentucky, with secondary locations at Grand Rivers, Kentucky, and various USACE district facilities across Tennessee, Missouri, and Illinois within the Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee Rivers watershed.

Activity has grown from 2 awards in 2023 to 8 in 2024 and 9 in 2025, with a single award recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure but also reflecting the extended performance periods typical of USACE vessel repair contracts. The vendor operates with zero sub-award footprint — all 58 awards in the source data are prime awards — and maintains no named teaming relationships or parent vehicle positions outside USACE. The small-disadvantaged-business designation recurs across 100% of prime awards sampled, anchoring the vendor's competitive posture to set-aside vehicles and agency small-business goals.
