Pacific Marine Equipment, LLC

Pacific Marine Equipment, LLC, a small business based in Seattle, Washington, supplies specialized marine equipment components—principally composite and metallic bearings, propeller systems, and stern tube assemblies—to federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. Registered in SAM since August 2004, the vendor operates as a for-profit limited liability company and functions as an authorized distributor for Thordon Bearings, the original equipment manufacturer, positioning itself as a critical supplier of proprietary marine components to the Navy, Coast Guard, and civilian maritime agencies.

Pacific Marine Equipment's customer footprint concentrates heavily on naval customers. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of awards by count and 95% by combined potential value. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard leads by award volume (23 awards, $804 thousand combined potential value), but the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the dollar value ($1.9 million across 6 awards), with Naval Sea Systems Command second ($1.2 million across 21 awards). The Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration round out the active customer set. Recent representative work includes a $323.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers (August 2025) for 400 Hundested propeller blades for the Dredge Yaquina under original-equipment-manufacturer sole-source justification; a $186.2 thousand Coast Guard award (October 2025) for a stern tube bearing wing shaft set; and multiple NAVSEA awards for Thordon bearing assemblies, including $68.3 thousand (November 2025) and $60.2 thousand (August 2024) purchase orders for pintle and propulsion strut bearings.

Award activity has remained modest and episodic, averaging fewer than three per year over the past five years, with one sub-award (Coast Guard drydock repairs to Cutter Polar Star, August 2026) appearing in the footprint. Combined potential value across all 64 awards stands at $4.9 million, with $5 million obligated—indicating full execution of the portfolio. The top parent vehicle, an IDC numbered 70Z08526DLREP0008, carries one task order. Top NAICS categories reflect the vendor's core business: Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (19 awards) and Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (15 awards). Top PSCs are Bearings Plain Unmounted (25 awards) and Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (17 awards), establishing Pacific Marine Equipment as a specialized bearing and marine component distributor rather than a general contractor. The vendor's posture is entirely set-aside (Total Small Business on nearly all prime awards), with no competitive full-and-open or IDIQ architecture visible in the portfolio.
