About Rope Corp
Rope Corp, doing business as First Choice Marine Supply, supplies marine navigation and safety equipment—buoys, buoy lights, lighting fixtures, and marine hardware—to federal agencies as a woman-owned small business prime contractor operating exclusively under small business set-asides (100% of awards) and full-and-open procurements. The vendor is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and holds WOSB and WOSB certifications. Work centers on fiber rope, cordage, buoy systems, and navigation aids procured under NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and related marine hardware categories.
Customer concentration reflects the vendor's marine and coastal mission focus. The top five funding offices by dollar value account for 79% of combined potential value: the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (5 awards, $151 thousand), the Department of Transportation Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (1 award, $112.6 thousand), the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (3 awards, $105 thousand), the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (8 awards, $83 thousand), and the Department of the Navy Installations Command (1 award, $81 thousand). By award count, NOAA leads with eight awards ($83 thousand), followed by the NPS Southeast Region and Coast Guard at five each. Recent work includes a $112.6 thousand small-business-set-aside purchase order from the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation for 20 MPV LED Integrated Ice Buoy Lanterns (awarded April 10, 2024, completed July 26, 2024), an $11.6 thousand NOAA purchase order for solar-powered marine beacons to the National Data Buoy Center (April 22, 2026), and prior supplies of buoy lighting and cable under $65.9 thousand and $20.3 thousand NPS Intermountain Region purchase orders (May 2022).
Activity remains sparse across the five-year window: one award in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2024, and one in 2026. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards, zero subcontract exposure) and carries no parent contract vehicles. Total combined potential value across all 31 awards stands at $678 thousand, with $693 thousand obligated (102% of potential, indicating invoiced performance exceeding ceiling).
