Pacific Shipyards International, LLC

Pacific Shipyards International, LLC, a minority-owned, for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates as a prime contractor delivering ship repair, maintenance, drydocking, and machinery overhaul services to the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and related federal maritime agencies. The company is an Asian-Pacific American–owned business and a subsidiary of Pacific Marine & Supply Company LTD.

Pacific Shipyards International operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor—96% of its 477 recent federal awards are prime positions—competing in full-and-open procurement across NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repair) with recurring delivery orders on multiple Navy and Coast Guard indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes without set-aside restrictions on most work, though several smaller Coast Guard and Army awards carry total small business set-asides.

The customer concentration is extreme and Navy-dominated. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of recent awards, led overwhelmingly by the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)—266 awards valued at $6.02 billion in combined potential value—which anchors the entire portfolio. Military Sealift Command (56 awards, $121.4 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (48 awards, $109.3 million), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (24 awards, $181.6 million), and the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (5 awards, $281.6 million) complete the active set. NAVSEA's share is so dominant that the vendor's business is fundamentally a Pearl Harbor–based Navy ship repair operation; the $6.02 billion NAVSEA potential value dwarfs all other customer relationships combined.

The vehicle portfolio reflects this concentration. The vendor holds a $671 million Ship Repair IDIQ-MAC for Hawaii CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) Availabilities, Emergent and Continuous Maintenance (74 task orders, $268.8 million combined potential value), a $669.9 million multiple-award IDC for maintenance and repair of non-nuclear surface ships homeported in Pearl Harbor (through September 2029), a $1.676 billion multiple-award IDIQ for maintenance and modernization of Littoral Combat Ships homeported in San Diego (through May 2030), a $1.906 billion multiple-award IDIQ for non-critical systems engineering on fast attack submarines (through September 2033), and a $226.2 million Surface Vessel Maintenance Multiple Award Contract (SURFMAC) for destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and smaller watercraft (through March 2034). Additional vehicles include a $73.8 million NOAA dockside repair contract (through August 2028), a $49 million Military Sealift Command West Coast general ship repair contract (through January 2030), and recent U.S. Army awards totaling $281.6 million for Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance (AWSM) OCONUS Zones 2 and 3 (through July 2031). The vendor also holds a $6 million single-award Coast Guard contract for USCGC Kimball drydock repairs (through September 2025) and a $3.5 million Coast Guard West Coast cutter preservation contract (through September 2025).

Recent activity shows strong year-over-year growth—from 25 awards in 2022 to 47 in 2025, with 8 awards recorded in 2026 to date. Only three awards (combined potential value $30.8 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating a light near-term recompete cliff. The vendor's federal contract portfolio exceeds $1 billion in cumulative value, with recent delivery orders ranging from under $1,000 for administrative meetings to $74.8 million for major ship repair availabilities.

In its subcontractor role, Pacific Shipyards International performs materials work and machining on the Manta Ray autonomous undersea vehicle program under Pacmar Technologies LLC, technical and engineering services on the XBR (Experimental Biologically Inspired Undersea Vehicles) program under Raytheon Company, hardware installation of C4ISR systems on Navy destroyers under Serco Inc., and rigging and deck protection services under Bath Iron Works Corporation and HII Fleet Support Group LLC. Subcontract work is episodic rather than routine, with 20 sub awards accounting for just 4% of the 477-award total.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue is minimal and sporadic—$19.4 million in FY2023 across 31 FTEs on prime contracts, with no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2022 or FY2024. This reflects the vendor's reliance on delivery-order work and the fact that most Navy ship repair invoicing may fall outside the SCI threshold, be classified, or be captured under other reporting mechanisms. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts run toward the higher end of the federal service-contract spectrum, with a 90th percentile rate around $316 per hour and a median of $0 per hour (reflecting project-based or firm-fixed-price structures rather than hourly billing on SCI-reportable work).

The vendor received three federal grants: a $260,578 FEMA Port Security Grant Program award (September 2025, through August 2028) and a $360,471 Naval Sea Systems Command Improvement of Navy Ship Repair or Alterations Capability Program award (August 2025, through January 2026) for capital improvements including CNC plasma cutting, gantry cranes, and steel-working platforms; and a $302,490 FEMA Port Security Grant Program award (August 2023) supporting ship repair and maintenance infrastructure in Hawaii.

Place of performance is Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam and subordinate Pacific locations (Honolulu, Kapolei, Pearl Harbor, Pearl City, Hawaii) for Navy and Coast Guard work, with some service delivery to San Diego, Bremerton, and West Coast locations under MSC and LCS contracts, and work on NOAA vessels at nationwide locations. The vendor's federal footprint is geographically concentrated in Hawaii, with secondary presence on the U.S. West Coast.
