Pacific-Gulf Marine, Inc.

Pacific-Gulf Marine, Inc., a large-business maritime services provider headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering ship management, vessel maintenance, and operational support to the Department of the Navy and the Maritime Administration with no subcontractor engagement across its federal footprint. The company competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations, reflecting its established status in the maritime logistics sector.

Pacific-Gulf Marine's core federal capability centers on comprehensive ready reserve force (RRF) ship management encompassing vessel maintenance, repairs, crew management, fuel and lubricant procurement, regulatory compliance, port services, dock and sea trials, and dry-dock management. The company manages six government-owned vessels across three primary ship groups: the Cornhusker State and Gopher State (Newport News, Virginia), the Cape Kennedy and Cape Knox (New Orleans, Louisiana), and the Keystone State and Gem State (Alameda, California). Representative work includes a $750,000 October 2026 delivery order from the Secretary of the Navy for Gem State fiscal year 2026 dry-dock work under the Ship Group 13 IDC; a $5,146,158.20 April 2026 delivery order for Gem State dry-dock services; and a $6,707,500 September 2026 delivery order for FY27 Gopher State dry-docking industrial support authorization. All work operates under cost-no-fee or firm fixed-price delivery orders, the latter predominating for fixed-fee management services.

Customer concentration is extreme and by design. The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy accounts for 803 awards (47% of the 1,711-award footprint) valued at $1.45 billion (78% of the $1.87 billion combined potential value). The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration places 452 awards (26% of total) valued at $96.6 million. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command issues 23 awards ($20.2 million). All other customers account for less than 1% of awards and dollars. This concentration reflects Pacific-Gulf Marine's role as the Navy's sole-source ship manager for specific RRF vessel classes under long-standing IDIQs.

Pacific-Gulf Marine holds four master indefinite delivery contracts with the Secretary of the Navy. The largest three, all awarded August 18, 2025, run through July 26, 2035: Ship Group 04 (Cornhusker State and Gopher State) with a $187.3 million ceiling; Ship Group 06 (Cape Kennedy and Cape Knox) with a $257 million ceiling; and Ship Group 13 (Keystone State and Gem State) with a $177.6 million ceiling. A fourth bridge contract for Ship Group 04, valued at $13.4 million, extends through October 26, 2025. Across these vehicles, the company has executed over 1,200 delivery orders since 2016. The top five parent vehicles account for 1,202 task orders ($613 million combined potential value): the RRF Ship Management Services 2016-2024 vehicle (494 task orders, $327.2 million), the DTMA8C05016 IDIQ (264 task orders, $105.7 million), DTMA8C00028 (150 task orders, $29.9 million), DTDTMA8C05013 (149 task orders, $84.3 million), and DTMA8C00017 (145 task orders, $65 million).

Activity has grown substantially. The company executed 38 awards in the first ten months of 2026, 103 in 2025, 63 in 2024, 54 in 2023, and 67 in 2022—a five-year trajectory marked by growth in FY2025 followed by a slowdown in FY2026 (partial-year data). Fifty-seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $65.4 million, representing moderate recompete exposure as existing task orders mature and new ones are issued under the long-standing master IDIQs.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset shows minimal visibility into Pacific-Gulf Marine's federal service footprint. SCI captured only one prime record in FY2022 with $507,000 in invoiced revenue across 3.2 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $76.98 per hour. This data represents a negligible fraction of the company's federal maritime services portfolio and reflects the exclusion from SCI of most vessel operations, maintenance, and repair work, which fall outside the service-contract reporting threshold or are reported under different contracting mechanisms. The company operates with zero documented subcontractor engagement across SCI records.

Pacific-Gulf Marine's award footprint is dominated by Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS (1,569 awards) and Operation of Other Non-Building Facilities PSC (815 awards), underscoring its focus on maritime logistics and vessel operations rather than traditional service contracting. The company has held federal contracts continuously since at least 1992 and maintains SAM registration since 2001.
