ST. Johns Boat Company

ST. Johns Boat Company, doing business as ST Johns Boat Co, a small disadvantaged business based in Jacksonville, Florida, operates a full-service shipyard delivering drydock repairs, hull preservation, propulsion system maintenance, and vessel modernization services to federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards), predominantly under total small business set-asides with the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and Army Corps of Engineers.

The company's customer concentration sits with the Department of the Navy and the Department of Homeland Security. By award count, the top five agencies account for 77% of recent awards, led by the Coast Guard (36 awards, $7.9 million combined potential value), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Jacksonville (26 awards, $11.7 million), and Navy Installations Command (21 awards, $1.7 million). By potential value, however, the distribution shifts dramatically: the Department of the Navy's U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) anchors 98% of combined potential value across all awards with a single $114.9 million indefinite delivery contract for ship maintenance and repair services at Naval Station Mayport, awarded October 29, 2021, and extended through December 2022. This vehicle generates 19 task orders but represents the largest recompete exposure in the portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers BPA (award date November 4, 2022, ceiling $2.5 million, extended through April 10, 2026) is the second-largest dollar vehicle and carries 10 task orders, including a $395.7 thousand Salzer Overhaul and Repower call issued May 17, 2024, with completion scheduled for April 3, 2026.

Recent capability work on the prime side includes a $1.85 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the Coast Guard for drydock repair and maintenance of USCGC HAWK (award May 26, 2026), a $753.1 thousand total small business set-aside with the Coast Guard for drydock repair services on USCGC SEA FOX (award July 15, 2025), and a $1.38 million definitive contract with U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) for structural modifications and repairs to a NECC Small Boat model 34PB0815 under the parent SSP SERM-SBL1-25-0001 IDIQ (award September 29, 2024). ST Johns Boat Co also holds a $9.8 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (award February 14, 2022, ultimate completion February 13, 2027) for small boat support services, with a $1.2 million task order issued in 2023 and a $1,800 minimum guarantee order in 2022.

Activity has grown through the past four years — eleven awards in 2022 to a peak of 24 in 2024 — before declining to nine awards in 2025 and eight in 2026 year to date. Two awards totaling $422 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a modest recompete window relative to the portfolio's overall size. The Navy's $114.9 million single-award IDC with U.S. Fleet Forces Command is the material recompete cliff; its extension history (referenced as "FFP DOS BASE PERIOD EXTENSION, LOT 2") suggests it may not yet be in active competition, but confirmation of its status is decision-critical for competitive positioning.

ST Johns Boat Co subcontracts to larger primes on Marine Corps prepositioning and Navy sustainment work. KBR Services, LLC is the dominant prime contractor relationship, with 17 sub-awards spanning February 2024 through July 2024, covering boat repair, shaft seal installation, supervisory fees, and shipyard facilities lease on Marine Corps vessels under the MCPP–Navy Sustainment and Ship Production programs. The Dutra Group placed a $36 thousand sub-award in April 2024 for haul-out services supporting maintenance dredging at Naval Station Mayport, and Oceanetics Inc. awarded ST Johns Boat Co a sub in July 2026 for general labor, rigging, and staging support on a PSB-T and PSB refurbishment.

The vendor's SCI-reported service-contract activity is sparse: only $821 thousand invoiced in FY2024 across 2.8 FTEs on a single reportable prime contract, reflecting that ST Johns Boat Co's federal work is predominantly product and repair-based (goods and fixed-price purchase orders) rather than labor-reportable services above the $150,000 SCI threshold. The median government-paid rate on SCI-reportable work was $143.17 per hour, with no subcontractor hours reported. This figure does not represent the vendor's total federal revenue — the award portfolio's $178.9 million combined potential value and $18.4 million obligated dollars dwarf the SCI sample — but confirms that the company's primary federal footprint is transactional shipyard work priced on a firm fixed-price or BPA call basis rather than labor-hour contracts.
