Texas Commercial Diving, Inc.

Texas Commercial Diving, Inc., a small business based in Hitchcock, Texas, provides underwater hull cleaning, inspection, and zinc anode replacement services to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a for-profit corporate entity and competes entirely within the small business set-aside category across its entire prime footprint.

Texas Commercial Diving delivers specialized commercial diving operations for Coast Guard vessel maintenance and fleet readiness. The work encompasses hull cleaning and inspection, propeller maintenance and seal replacement, zinc anode renewal, and subsurface inspection documentation in accordance with Coast Guard Maintenance Procedure Cards. Representative recent awards include a $18,000 firm fixed-price purchase order (March 2026) for USCGC Daniel Tarr hull cleaning and zinc anode replacement at Coast Guard Base Galveston; a $9,715 total small business set-aside (September 2025) for USCGC Resolute hull cleaning in St. Petersburg, Florida; and a $17,500 award (February 2025) for hull inspection and underwater maintenance on USCGC Daniel Tarr. Work is performed at Gulf Coast and East Coast facilities including Galveston, St. Petersburg, and Baltimore, with typical contract values ranging from $4,944 to $24,485.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 33 awards in the source data come from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard, which has engaged Texas Commercial Diving consistently since at least 2016. The vendor has received over twenty firm fixed-price purchase orders from the Coast Guard since 2019, predominantly designated as small business set-asides. The combined potential value of all awards is $314 thousand, with all amounts obligated. Awards cluster under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC codes for maintenance, repair, and inspection of ship and marine equipment.

Activity has remained flat at two to four awards per year from 2022 through 2025. Only one award with an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months appears in the source data (combined potential value $10 thousand), representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. Texas Commercial Diving maintains no subcontract presence and holds no parent vehicle seats; all work flows through direct Coast Guard purchase orders. The vendor's customer concentration and award values position it as a specialized, Coast Guard-dependent contractor with limited diversification beyond maritime vessel maintenance services in the Gulf Coast region.
