Schuyler Line Navigation Company LLC

Schuyler Line Navigation Company LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and subsidiary of Dome Chartering & Trading Corp., operates as a prime contractor providing vessel time charters, tanker voyages, consolidated transportation shipments, and liquefied natural gas delivery services to the U.S. Department of Defense and federal agencies. The company competes predominantly full-and-open; recent awards carry no set-aside designations at the prime level, though several definitive contracts are designated as total small business set-asides, and the vendor holds a single-award small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract for dedicated liner service between Jacksonville, Florida and Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Schuyler Line Navigation operates from its headquarters in Annapolis, Maryland (registered address West Palm Beach, Florida) and coordinates work from Denver, Colorado and Highland Beach, Maryland administrative locations. The company specializes in deep sea freight transportation under NAICS 483111, leveraging commercial U.S. and foreign flag vessels to move containerized cargo, bulk fuel products, military equipment, ammunition, and supplies worldwide. Representative prime work includes a $132.6 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with Military Sealift Command (awarded July 2023, completing August 2028) for time charter of a U.S.-flagged double-hull tanker for petroleum products; a $79.1 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with MSC (awarded September 2024, completing August 2029) for shallow draft tanker operations in Japan; a $73.4 million total small business set-aside definitive contract with MSC (awarded April 2022, completing May 2027) for Diego Garcia shuttle vessel dry-time charter; an $83.4 million total small business set-aside single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force (awarded August 2024, completing January 2030) for dedicated liner service between Jacksonville and Guantanamo Bay; a $41.1 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with MSC (awarded April 2025, completing November 2026) for Western Pacific dry cargo time charter; and a $21.8 million firm fixed-price delivery order with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded July 2025, completing April 2026) for liquefied natural gas delivery to Guantanamo Bay.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense agencies and skewed toward big-dollar vehicle holdings. The vendor holds 88% of recent awards across five customer tiers, led by the Department of the Army's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (129 awards, $175.5 million combined potential value), the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command (57 awards, $797.2 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command (54 awards, $192.8 million combined potential value). However, the potential value ranking diverges sharply: the Department of the Air Force overall accounts for 28 awards carrying $4.96 billion combined potential value—nearly 75% of the vendor's total $6.65 billion portfolio—driven by a handful of large indefinite delivery contracts. Naval Facilities Engineering Command carries eight awards worth $456.9 million combined potential value. This dollar concentration reflects the vendor's position on strategic sealift and intermodal transportation IDDs rather than order frequency.

Schuyler Line Navigation holds seat on four principal government-wide and agency IDDs. The Universal Services Contract-10 (USC-10), a $4 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with Air Mobility Command (awarded September 2024, completing August 2026), accounts for numerous delivery orders valued at fixed-price with economic price adjustment for consolidated transportation shipments. The Ocean and Intermodal Cargo Transport 2019 contract, held jointly with Army Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, carries 53 task orders totaling $129.8 million combined potential value for global cargo movements. The Indefinite Delivery Contract HTC71119DW001 (56 task orders, $49 million combined potential value) and HTC71115DW001 (50 task orders, $17.1 million combined potential value) support Air Force and Air Mobility Command requirements. A multiple-award Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) Contingency Services contract with the Air Force (awarded October 2024, completing September 2034 with options) establishes a zero-dollar-ceiling vehicle for contingency sealift operations. A newly awarded Air Force multiple-award IDC (awarded November 2025, completing December 2032) for ocean transportation charter of clean bulk fuel products extends the vendor's vehicle footprint into specialized fuel delivery.

Recent activity has grown substantially: four awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, 44 in 2024, 39 in 2025, and six in 2026 (through mid-July). Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $114.6 million, representing recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competitors. The vendor's subcontractor footprint is minimal—four sub-awards under Vectrus Systems LLC (the prime) for potable water delivery and base operations support services at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (awarded October 2025, November 2025, December 2024, and January 2026). Schuyler Line's sub engagement represents less than 1% of recent awards by count.

Deep sea freight transportation dominates Schuyler Line's capability classification, accounting for 327 of 340 prime awards. The vendor delivers vessel charters for containerized breakbulk cargo (266 awards, PSC J001 Vessel Freight), marine charters (59 awards, PSC J005 Marine Charter), liquefied natural gas distribution (7 awards, NAICS 486210), and facilities support (4 awards). Work is performed worldwide—CONUS, OCONUS, and hostile areas including the Middle East, Far East, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Arctic—with administrative oversight from Annapolis and operational coordination from Denver and Highland Beach.
