About the company
ST Johns Ship Building Inc., a HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business located in Palatka, Florida, designs and builds specialized maritime vessels for the Navy, Coast Guard, and Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor operating under total small business and HUBZone set-asides. The company is a subsidiary of Americraft Marine Group LLC and operates a modern facility with a 2,000-ton floating drydock, enhanced through a $1.34 million Department of Transportation Maritime Administration capital grant.
ST Johns' customer base concentrates heavily in defense maritime programs. The top three funding agencies account for 87% of recent award count: Naval Sea Systems Command (three awards, $655 million combined potential value), the Coast Guard (four awards, $7.3 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (two awards, $3 million). The Navy dominance is anchored by a single $650.1 million indefinite-delivery contract awarded May 1, 2026, running through May 1, 2036, for composite-hull multi-mission boats including 7- to 11-meter Rigid-Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Multi-use Expeditionary Response Craft vessels. Representative work includes a $5.2 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 25, 2024, from the Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct two 2-stack stop log barges for the Tulsa District (completion January 26, 2026), and a $4.86 million HUBZone purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for a 60-foot dive support boat (awarded May 22, 2025, completion November 18, 2026). The company also delivered dry-docking and repair services for USCGC Hammer, a 75-foot Coast Guard buoy tender, under a $3.38 million definitive contract executed January 25, 2022.
ST Johns operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); it does not subcontract work to other vendors. Award activity runs at approximately two awards per year in recent years (2024–2026), with two awards totaling $4.9 million reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The company holds a current position on an Army Corps of Engineers Blanket Purchase Agreement and an IDIQ vehicle. Beyond federal contracting, ST Johns received a $617 thousand Maritime Administration Project Grant (CFDA 20.814) awarded August 19, 2025, for purchase and installation of a Grove GRT8100 110-ton rough terrain crane to enhance shipyard construction and repair capacity. Capability focus spans ship building and repair (eight awards), boat building (three awards), and specialized small-craft construction, with SCI-reportable service work invoiced at $1.3 million across nine full-time equivalent personnel in FY2022 at a median government-paid rate of approximately $72 per hour.
