RD Maritime Consulting LLC

RD Maritime Consulting LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Poway, California, supplies maritime equipment, vessel repair parts, and specialized boatyard support to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor on small purchase orders (35% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on larger naval vessel maintenance programs (65% of recent awards).

The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprise. Recent prime work carries no consistent set-aside posture — the majority of prime awards in the past year have used no set-aside designation, though two awards (a $34,540 crewed vessel delivery in August 2025 and a $164,807 A-frame vessel recovery assembly in June 2023) were issued under Total Small Business set-asides. RD Maritime's prime portfolio centers on direct purchase orders for discrete maritime equipment and short-duration vessel support. Named examples include a $60,000 firm fixed-price order from the Air Force in October 2025 for Maritime Raider repair parts (contract 22 STS), a $71,422 purchase order from the Air Force in September 2023 for maritime trailers supporting McChord Air Force Base, and a $164,807 Naval Supply Systems Command order in June 2023 for an A-frame assembly to deploy and recover special ocean-going vessels.

Customer concentration anchors to the Department of the Navy. The top five agencies account for 94% of awards by count, with the Naval Sea Systems Command leading (11 awards, $25 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Air Force (2 awards, $131 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office (1 award, $165 thousand), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (1 award), and Air Combat Command (1 award, $35 thousand). Potential value is front-loaded to a single Naval Supply order; obligated dollars across all awards total $1.3 million, representing 362% of combined potential value and indicating substantial performance completion against historical commitments.

RD Maritime subcontracts on boatyard and vessel maintenance programs under QED Systems, Inc. (sponson and foam collar systems for hull modifications across multiple orders from June 2025 onward), HII Mission Technologies Corp (specialized projects and operational testing for Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division, including sponson replacement, MDUSV repairs, and custom test vessel cradles in 2025), Peraton Inc. (West Coast foreign service representative support in August 2025), and Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. (USS America overhaul support in March 2025). The subcontract work is concentrated on marine boatyard industrial support, drawing from three named parent vehicles: an Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (3 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract N5005419D1907 (3 task orders), and Watercraft Industrial Support and Marine Boatyard Services vehicles (1 task order each).

Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2020, none in 2021–2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, then ten in 2025 and three in the first quarter of 2026 — reflecting recent expansion into the boatyard support subcontract space. No recompete cliff data is present in the source. The company's capability portfolio maps to ship building and repairing (9 awards) and research and development in physical and engineering sciences (3 awards), with discrete maritime equipment and vessel repair parts as the concrete deliverable focus.
