Patriotic Excursions LLC

Patriotic Excursions LLC Atlantic Launch Division, a veteran-owned small business, operates as a prime contractor providing water taxi and passenger ferry transportation services to the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet on a full-and-open basis, with all recent prime awards under a single-award small-business-set-aside IDIQ that structures recurring task orders. The company is a sole proprietorship based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and competes almost exclusively under the Total Small Business set-aside category on individual delivery orders, though the parent IDIQ contract itself carries the small-business set-aside designation.

Patriotic Excursions LLC Atlantic Launch Division's entire federal footprint centers on a single specialized capability: water taxi and passenger ferry transportation supporting naval operations along the U.S. East Coast. The firm operates a dedicated fleet of passenger ferries serving the Virginia Capes region, including Lynnhaven Inlet and Rudee Inlet areas, transporting Navy personnel, equipment, and cargo between bases and facilities. Representative task orders include a $183,068 water taxi services delivery order (July 2026), a $133,460 water taxi and emergent transport services order for USS Gerald R. Ford operations (June 2024), and a $40,551 water taxi services delivery order (June 2025), all for short-term maritime logistics support. Individual task orders under the parent contract historically range from zero to $56,585, with performance periods from single dates to one year.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Navy's U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) accounts for 268 awards and $7.1 million in combined potential value—essentially 100% of the vendor's recent award portfolio, with only nominal activity from the broader Department of the Navy (39 awards, $339 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (2 awards, $6 thousand), and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (1 award, $4 thousand). This extreme concentration reflects the vendor's specialized role as a dedicated maritime transportation provider for Atlantic Fleet personnel and equipment mobility in a specific geographic region.

Patriotic Excursions LLC Atlantic Launch Division holds a single parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0018922D0018, a $5,095,475 small-business-set-aside IDIQ awarded by U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) on June 20, 2022, with ultimate completion December 19, 2027. The source data captures 307 task orders issued under this vehicle with $2.3 million combined potential value. This IDIQ is the sole contracting mechanism through which the vendor executes federal work.

Activity has grown year over year—46 awards in 2022 to 88 in 2024—with 22 awards so far in 2026. The recompete exposure is minimal: only three awards (combined potential value $18 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months, with the parent IDIQ contract itself not recompeting until December 2027, signaling stable runway. The vendor has no subcontract footprint; all 310 awards in the source data are prime contracts.

Patriotic Excursions LLC Atlantic Launch Division competes entirely under small-business set-asides and operates as a single-customer, single-vehicle vendor locked into the Atlantic Fleet water transportation mission. The firm's entire NAICS profile is Inland Water Passenger Transportation (309 awards), with one award each in Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation and ground-effect vehicle rental. With $7.5 million in combined potential value across 310 awards and $2.4 million obligated to date, the vendor has established itself as a critical logistics provider for naval personnel and equipment mobility in the Virginia Capes region, but faces strategic concentration risk tied to continued Atlantic Fleet demand and the December 2027 recompete of its sole IDIQ vehicle.
