SO. Cal. Ship Services, LLC

SO. Cal. Ship Services, LLC, doing business as Ship Services, is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in San Pedro, California, that has been registered to receive federal contract awards since July 2001. The company specializes in maritime and environmental response services, with demonstrated expertise in oil spill mitigation, hazardous chemical incident response, and crew vessel transportation. SO. Cal. Ship Services has established itself as a critical resource for federal agencies requiring rapid-response capabilities in coastal environmental emergencies and maritime support operations, leveraging its operational presence in Southern California coastal regions.

Since 2021, SO. Cal. Ship Services has executed a diversified portfolio of federal contracts across multiple agencies and contract types. The company received a $289,250 firm fixed price purchase order from the Department of the Navy's U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces in April 2021 for crew vessel transportation services in San Diego, California, executed under a total small business set-aside designation. More recently, the company has pursued environmental response work with the U.S. Coast Guard through definitive contracts issued as task orders under existing Basic Ordering Agreements. In September 2025, the Coast Guard awarded a $99,456.19 time-and-materials definitive contract (UCGPA25018) for labor, equipment, and materials to mitigate oil spills and hazardous chemical incidents in the Sector Los Angeles/Long Beach area, with performance in San Pedro. Subsequently, in November 2025, the Coast Guard issued an additional $25,000 definitive contract (UCGPA26007) for similar environmental response services, with performance scheduled in Avalon, California. These recent awards demonstrate the company's ongoing engagement in federal maritime and environmental protection missions, with no set-aside designations applied to these current-year contracts.

SO. Cal. Ship Services currently maintains two Basic Ordering Agreements with the U.S. Coast Guard that serve as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicles enabling rapid task order issuance for environmental emergency response. The first BOA, awarded on February 8, 2021, carries a ceiling value of $900,000 with a period of performance through August 26, 2025, while a second BOA is valued at $990,000 with an earlier ordering period. These single-award BOAs were issued without set-aside designations and authorize the company to provide labor, equipment, and materials to mitigate the harmful effects of oil spills or hazardous chemical incidents as directed by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator for Sector Los Angeles/Long Beach. The BOA structure allows the Coast Guard to leverage SO. Cal. Ship Services' established spill containment, cleanup, and pollution removal capabilities to rapidly respond to environmental emergencies impacting coastal waters and shoreline areas within the agency's jurisdiction. The recent task order activity under these BOAs demonstrates their continued active utilization for federal maritime environmental protection operations.
