Paradigm Marine, LLC

Paradigm Marine, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Kodiak, Alaska, delivers maritime support services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, specializing in tug assistance, port operations, vessel husbandry, and harbor logistics in Alaska waters. The company operates exclusively as a prime across its full federal portfolio; it does not subcontract and does not sit on government-wide vehicles or pre-competed IDIQs.

Paradigm Marine's customer base is heavily concentrated in Alaska-based maritime operations. The U.S. Coast Guard dominates the relationship, accounting for 29 awards totaling $372 thousand in combined potential value across 100% of the company's active prime footprint. NOAA ranks second with three awards ($130 thousand), followed by the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command ($214 thousand), United States Special Operations Command ($224 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 ($11 thousand). The company's service scope clusters around Kodiak, Alaska, where it provides tug assist, moorage, line handling, sewage off-load, garbage disposal, potable water supply, fuel intake, fender placement, and equipment loading to support Coast Guard cutters (including USCGC Healy, USCGC Stratton, and USCGC John Witherspoon) and NOAA research vessels (notably NOAA Ship Fairweather). Representative work includes a $123 thousand small-business-set-aside purchase order from NOAA for comprehensive husbandry services to NOAA Ship Fairweather through August 2026, an $82 thousand firm fixed-price tug services contract with the Coast Guard for CGC Healy, a $224 thousand crane, tug, and barge support order from United States Special Operations Command, and recurring port-services purchase orders to support Coast Guard vessel transits ranging from $2.4 thousand to $80 thousand.

Activity has been sporadic, with four awards in 2021, a gap in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, and five in 2025. The company's combined potential value across all 35 awards totals $951 thousand, with $951 thousand already obligated. Only one award—the NOAA Ship Fairweather husbandry contract valued at $123 thousand—faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore presents recompete exposure. Paradigm Marine does not compete under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other federal set-asides except where explicitly designated by the procuring agency; most work is awarded on a full-and-open or sole-source basis. The company's capability portfolio concentrates in NAICS navigational services to shipping and port and harbor operations, with purchase-order work spread across logistics support, husbanding services, and vessel towing, reflecting its position as a specialized regional provider for federal maritime logistics in remote Alaskan waters.
