Pacific-Gulf Marine, Inc.

Pacific-Gulf Marine, Inc., a large business maritime services provider headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana, operates as a prime contractor delivering comprehensive ship management and operational support services to the Department of the Navy, with $1.85 billion in combined federal award potential across 1,694 delivery orders and indefinite delivery vehicles concentrated on the Navy's Ready Reserve Force fleet. The company competes full-and-open with no small business set-asides and has been registered in the System for Award Management since July 2001.

Pacific-Gulf Marine's core capability portfolio centers on maritime logistics for government-owned vessel maintenance and activation: ship repairs and overhaul work (routine and programmatic), crew management and wages, fuel and lubricant procurement, regulatory compliance and port services, dock and sea trials, dry-dock management, security program implementation, and operational support spanning fixed-fee management, activation, deactivation, and emergency voyage repairs. The company delivers these services across the Navy's aging reserve fleet, with recent representative work including a $3.5 million Ship Manager Fixed Fees delivery order for the Keystone State (FY2026, cost-no-fee structure, Alameda), a $2.614 million Repairs A delivery order for the Keystone State (December 2025, cost-no-fee), and a $2.89 million Port Charges delivery order for the Cornhusker State (May 2026, firm fixed-price), all issued under primary indefinite delivery vehicles extending through July 2035.

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy accounts for 787 awards (46% of total awards) valued at $1.42 billion (77% of combined potential value), while the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration holds 452 awards (27% of total) valued at $96.6 million (5% of combined potential value). The Navy Military Sealift Command placed 22 awards valued at $20.2 million. This represents a nearly complete dependency on a single customer. Awards per year increased sharply from 67 (2022) to 102 (2025), with 22 awards already issued in early 2026; the recompete cliff shows 71 awards completing within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $74.4 million.

Pacific-Gulf Marine holds four primary master indefinite delivery contracts issued by the Secretary of the Navy on August 18, 2025, each with a ten-year performance period through July 26, 2035: the Ship Group 04 IDC for Cornhusker State and Gopher State ($187.3 million ceiling, performance in Newport News, Virginia); the Ship Group 06 IDC for Cape Kennedy and Cape Knox ($257 million ceiling, performance in New Orleans, Louisiana); and the Ship Group 13 IDC for Keystone State and Gem State ($177.6 million ceiling, performance in Alameda, California). A bridge contract for Ship Group 04 extended through October 2025. These vehicles are structured as single-award indefinite delivery contracts with no set-aside designation. Alongside these, the vendor executes delivery orders against the RRF Ship Management Services 2016-2024 master IDIQ (494 task orders, $327.2 million combined potential value) and several legacy DTMA indefinite delivery contracts (IDC DTMA8C05016 with 264 task orders worth $105.7 million; IDC DTMA8C00028 with 150 task orders worth $29.9 million). The vendor's recent activity shows 42 delivery orders issued under the three primary Navy IDCs through mid-2026, totaling approximately $12 million in combined value and completion dates spreading from September 2026 through July 2027.

Pacific-Gulf Marine operates exclusively as a prime contractor—all 1,694 awards are prime awards with zero subcontract exposure. The vendor does not build subcontractor teams. Service Contract Inventory data is minimal (single SCI record in FY2022 reporting $507 thousand across 3.2 FTEs), indicating that the majority of Pacific-Gulf Marine's federal work is embedded in delivery orders for vessel operations and maintenance rather than labor-hour service contracts subject to SCI reporting thresholds. Where captured, SCI-reportable government-paid rates ran median $76.98/hr with zero sub-hour share, reflecting direct labor delivery model.

The vendor's footprint is operationally and financially concentrated: 46% of all awards, 77% of combined potential value, and nearly all sustained revenue stream derive from the Secretary of the Navy, executing task orders under master IDVs for four specific vessel groups (Cornhusker State, Gopher State, Cape Kennedy, Cape Knox, Keystone State, Gem State). The company has held the RRF ship management mission since at least 2016 and was selected again in August 2025 under new ten-year master contracts, indicating institutional dominance in this specialized niche. No competitors are named in the source material. Recompete risk is material: $74.4 million in awards complete within twenty-four months, and the July 2035 expiration of the three new master IDCs establishes a major competitive event in 2035.
