P & R Water Taxi LLC

P & R Water Taxi LLC is a for-profit limited liability company that specializes in providing marine vessel services to U.S. federal government agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since May 2009, the company has established itself as a reliable contractor for various maritime needs, particularly in the Pacific region. P & R Water Taxi focuses on supporting naval operations and oceanographic research activities, offering services such as tugboat operations, buoy recovery, and other marine support operations. The company's expertise in maritime services has made it a valuable partner for both defense and civilian agencies seeking specialized marine support.

As a prime contractor, P & R Water Taxi has secured several significant contracts with federal agencies. The company holds a $30.7 million definitive contract with the U.S. Military Sealift Command to provide harbor support services and ship handling at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii through February 2027, with options extending to 2032. This contract involves chartering four tugboats for towing, mooring, berthing, docking, and other emergency and on-call services. P & R Water Taxi has also received contracts from the U.S. Pacific Fleet for tug services in support of the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercises, including a recent $108,625 purchase order for the 2024 RIMPAC. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded the company contracts for buoy recovery services, such as a $300,000 firm-fixed-price delivery order for the recovery of data acquisition and telemetry system (DART) buoys in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. In its capacity as a subcontractor, P & R Water Taxi has provided engineering services and non-deliverable items to General Atomics under a federal contract.

P & R Water Taxi holds two indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with NOAA, both supporting the agency's ocean monitoring and research programs. The first is a single-award basic ordering agreement (BOA) awarded in September 2020, allowing for orders through December 2025. This BOA is specifically for the National Data Buoy Center's (NDBC) RAMP-ON program. The second IDIQ is a multiple-award contract awarded in February 2020, with an ordering period through June 2025. This contract is for providing commercially available marine vessels to deploy, service, and repair ocean buoys in support of the National Weather Service's NDBC. Both IDIQs have no set ceiling value, allowing for flexibility in task order issuance based on NOAA's needs for maintaining its network of ocean monitoring buoys. These IDIQs demonstrate P & R Water Taxi's ongoing commitment to supporting NOAA's oceanographic research and monitoring efforts, positioning the company as a key partner in maintaining critical marine infrastructure.
