These delivery orders, which do not carry set-aside designations, support the movement of Navy personnel, equipment, and cargo between military bases and facilities throughout the Virginia Beach and Norfolk areas, including operations in the Lynnhaven Inlet and Rudee Inlet regions. The company's contract awards include a notable purchase order valued at $133,460 awarded in June 2024 for water taxi and emergent transport services supporting the USS Gerald R.
