Resolve Marine Group Inc.

Resolve Marine Group Inc., doing business as Resolve Marine, is a veteran-owned small business prime contractor headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that provides maritime emergency response, oil spill mitigation, and port services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor (308 awards across the source dataset) and executes work directly without subcontractor engagement, maintaining specialized capability in rapid-deployment environmental remediation and vessel support operations across coastal and Arctic regions.

The Coast Guard dominates Resolve Marine's customer base, accounting for 240 awards and $125.1 million in combined potential value—82% of the vendor's total federal footprint. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the secondary customer with 11 awards worth $366 thousand. Top three funders by potential value are the Coast Guard ($125.1 million), the Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District ($1.8 million), and NOAA ($366 thousand), representing 84% of combined potential value across 16 distinct customer agencies. The concentration is consistent across award-count and dollar rankings, with the Coast Guard as the undisputed anchor.

Resolve Marine's capability portfolio centers on oil spill and hazardous chemical incident response under the Federal On-Scene Coordinator Representative program. Representative work includes a $4.341 million delivery order (September 2025) to provide labor, materials, and equipment for oil spill mitigation in Bremerton, Washington; a $1.718 million time-and-materials delivery order (December 2021) for incident response in Mobile, Alabama; a $750,000 delivery order (July 2026) for environmental emergency response in Key West, Florida; and multiple smaller port-services purchase orders ranging from $3,500 to $60,000 for line handling, boom deployment, brow repair, and oily waste offloading at Dutch Harbor and other Alaskan and Washington locations. NOAA work includes a $51,500 purchase order (January 2024) for emergency mooring recovery in Dutch Harbor and a $25,126 delivery order (May 2025) for fuel spill remediation aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. The vendor also holds a $447,341 federal grant from the Maritime Administration under the Assistance to Small Shipyards program (CFDA 20.814) awarded August 2025 to purchase a Caterpillar 980 wheel loader for its Unalaska, Alaska shipyard facility, with completion targeted for August 2027.

Resolve Marine operates under two active parent vehicles on the Coast Guard's indefinite-delivery framework. The primary Basic Ordering Agreement (HSCG8416AM00029) carries a $6.999 million ceiling effective through September 2028 and anchors 54 task orders worth $76.8 million in combined potential value. The second major vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract (HSCG8404A700087), supports 38 task orders valued at $50.8 million. Work is performed across multiple locations: Alaska (Anchorage, Nome, Unalaska), Washington (Bremerton), Florida (Key West, Fort Lauderdale), and California (Crockett). Delivery orders under these frameworks use time-and-materials pricing for rapid-response incident mitigation.

Activity has grown from six awards in 2022 to a peak of 21 in 2024, with 16 awards in 2025 and 14 year-to-date through September 2026. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $296 thousand), indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor's top NAICS categories are Remediation Services (133 awards), Port and Harbor Operations (63 awards), and Ship Building and Repairing (20 awards); top PSC codes are Environmental Systems Protection—Oil Spill Response (120 awards) and Support/Management—Logistics Support (23 awards).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totals $9.1 million across FY2022–FY2025, with $4.3 million in FY2022, $209 thousand in FY2023, zero in FY2024, and $4.6 million in FY2025. The FTE trajectory shows 1.8 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 0.2 in FY2023 and zero in FY2024, then rising to 3.1 FTEs in FY2025. On SCI-reportable prime service contracts, government-paid hourly rates ran around a median of $1,018.67/hr, with rates spanning from a 10th percentile of $678.21/hr to a 90th percentile of $1,227.61/hr. The vendor performs all reported work directly with zero sub-hours engagement on SCI-reportable contracts. The company maintains a subsidiary, Resolve Government Services LLC, a veteran-owned limited liability company, though the source does not detail distinct operational roles or capability separation between parent and subsidiary.

Resolve Marine Group began in 1980 as a one-tug operation after Joe Farrell, Jr. purchased his first tug, THE RESOLVE. Throughout the next 10 years, the company oversaw salvage jobs in the Caribbean, working on various small freighters and island vessels. Following the 1989 EXXON VALDEZ oil spill in Alaska, the U.S. Coast Guard established regulations for OPA-90 and, at the time, Farrell, realized he needed to offer services that met those regulations if he wanted to remain in business.
