Portsmouth Pilots Inc. is a for-profit maritime services company headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that has been registered to receive federal awards since April 2002. The company specializes in providing harbor piloting services and professional navigation expertise to support maritime operations in the Portsmouth region. Portsmouth Pilots Inc. serves as a critical vendor to the U.S. Navy, leveraging specialized knowledge of local waterways, maritime regulations, and harbor conditions to safely guide vessels through Portsmouth harbor in support of naval installations and operations.

Portsmouth Pilots Inc. has consistently provided harbor piloting services to the U.S. Navy Installations Command (NAVFAC) through a series of firm fixed-price delivery orders spanning from fiscal year 2021 through 2026. Each delivery order has been valued at $30,000 and awarded on an annual basis without set-aside designations. The company has served as the prime contractor on all awards with no identified subcontractors involved in service delivery. The delivery orders follow a structured schedule, with base year and option year periods of performance aligned to September fiscal year cycles. The most recent delivery order, awarded on September 10, 2025, extends through September 9, 2026, and represents the continuation of a longstanding contractual relationship with NAVFAC for maintaining harbor piloting support at Portsmouth naval facilities. All services under these delivery orders have been performed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with the company providing essential navigation guidance for Navy vessel transits.

Portsmouth Pilots Inc. currently holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts with NAVFAC, both awarded on a sole-source basis under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, which reflects the company's exclusive expertise in regional maritime navigation. The first IDC, awarded on September 10, 2021, carries a ceiling value of $87,500 and extended through March 9, 2024. The second and more substantial IDC, awarded on September 10, 2023, carries a ceiling value of $192,500 and extends through March 9, 2029, providing a multi-year contract vehicle for ongoing harbor piloting services. Under the current active IDC, NAVFAC has issued three firm fixed-price delivery orders to date, each valued at $30,000, with base year and option year performance periods running from September through September. These IDCs serve as the contracting mechanism through which NAVFAC issues regular delivery orders to ensure continuous harbor piloting support for Portsmouth naval operations, with Portsmouth Pilots Inc. maintaining sole responsibility as the prime contractor and no subcontractors identified on any awards.
