Pacific Maritime Group Inc.

Pacific Maritime Group Inc., doing business as Pacific Tugboat Service, is a San Diego-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation that provides tugboat rental, barge transportation, vessel support, and maritime logistics services to Department of the Navy and Department of Defense agencies as both a prime contractor (45% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major shipyard and maritime service primes (55% of recent awards). The company holds a small-business designation across much of its prime footprint, with several awards carrying Total Small Business set-asides, and maintains a subsidiary in Pacific Dredge and Construction, LLC.

Pacific Maritime Group's customer concentration sits heavily with Navy commands. The top five funding agencies account for 81% of awards by count, led by the Naval Air Systems Command (210 awards, $33 thousand combined potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (125 awards, $63.3 million), and Military Sealift Command (97 awards, $28.5 million). When ranked by potential value rather than count, the distribution shifts: Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the dollars at $63.3 million, followed by Naval Supply Systems Command ($31.9 million across nine awards), and Military Sealift Command ($28.5 million). The sharp divergence between award count and dollar value at Naval Air Systems Command signals a high-volume, low-dollar relationship, likely reflecting numerous sub-awards on shipyard maintenance availability contracts rather than prime logistics awards. The company's concrete prime work includes a $3.88 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command for weekly affreightment of potable water and dry cargo to San Clemente Island (October 2025–September 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), a $1.87 million barge transportation delivery order to the same installation from the same customer (October 2024–March 2025), a $209 thousand delivery order from Air Combat Command for crew boats and tugboat support for Air Force Special Warfare maritime training at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (September 2024), and a $158.75 thousand delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for clump and dump support services (November 2025–September 2026).

Pacific Maritime Group holds a $475 thousand Federal Supply Schedule position with GSA (awarded July 2026, through July 2031) for vessel rental, barge transportation, crew transport, target support, and husbanding services on a nationwide basis. Prime IDV positions include a $2.5 million single-award Air Force Blanket Purchase Agreement for Davis-Monthan pararescue maritime training vessel rental (April 2025–April 2030, against which eight task orders totaling roughly $147 thousand have been awarded to date), a $750 thousand single-award Air Force indefinite delivery contract for crew boats and tugboat services supporting Air Force Special Warfare maritime training (through April 2025, with multiple delivery orders exceeding $427 thousand), and an $18.7 million multiple-award Navy contract with Naval Supply Systems Command for barge transportation to San Clemente Island (through September 2034, with multiple delivery orders totaling over $4.6 million). The vendor also holds a zero-dollar multiple-award Department of Defense Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement contingency sealift services contract (October 2024–September 2034 base period) under which pricing and order values are established through individual task orders.

Activity has been substantial but declining. The vendor received 92 awards in 2022, 101 in 2023, 87 in 2024, and 76 in 2025, with only eight awards recorded in 2026 to date (a partial-year snapshot). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $143.9 million, though combined obligated dollars have reached $164.9 million (115% of potential value), indicating scope growth or option exercise above original ceiling values. Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $4.1 million—a modest recompete cliff relative to the vendor's overall footprint. By NAICS category concentration, the vendor's prime and sub work cluster heavily in Aircraft Manufacturing (209 awards), Ship Building and Repairing (168 awards), and Navigational Services to Shipping (57 awards); by Product/Service Code, the largest categories are Marine Charter transportation (98 awards), Vessel Towing (25 awards), and Vessel Freight (23 awards).

In its subcontractor role, Pacific Maritime Group delivers tugboat services, barge rental, vessel support, and repair rentals under BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego Inc., National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, Systems Application & Technologies Inc., and several other major Navy-focused shipyard and maritime support primes. Sub work includes tugboat and barge services for ship maintenance availabilities across LCS, DDG, LPD, and LHD-class vessels, as well as support for test and evaluation operations, mine countermeasure training, and contingency sealift planning. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity—0.3 FTEs recorded in FY2024 as a named subcontractor on a single SCI-reportable contract above the $150 thousand threshold—reflecting that much of Pacific Maritime Group's federal revenue flows through lower-value purchase orders and delivery orders, direct government vessel charters, and maritime equipment rental, which fall outside SCI's reporting scope.
