The Bay Company Enterprises LLC

The Bay Company Enterprises LLC, doing business as The Bay Company, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ketchikan, Alaska that supplies recreational and operational vehicles and marine equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. Operating as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, The Bay Company competes exclusively in small business carve-outs and has delivered 24 awards totaling $513 thousand in combined potential value over its recent federal footprint, with 100% of work as prime contracts.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on boat building, boat motor repowering, jet boat supply, all-terrain vehicle delivery, and associated trailers and equipment for remote land and water operations. Representative work includes a $33,963.62 jet boat replacement for USDA Forest Service Region 10 (April 2022), a $23,809.45 16-foot jet boat package delivery to support remote watershed and fish project access near Ketchikan (December 2024 award, February 2025 completion), a $21,459.82 outboard motor repower on a 20-foot boat in Petersburg, Alaska (August 2024), and a $17,629.98 delivery of two Arctic Cat Alterra 450cc ATVs to Wrangell (May 2023). Most recently, the vendor received an $11,650 purchase order from USDA Forest Service for two 2WD adult-sized 300cc ATVs for Tongass National Forest, awarded June 30, 2026 with August 31, 2026 completion.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 10 (Alaska Region) accounts for 21 of 24 awards and $425 thousand in combined potential value—87% of the portfolio. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard holds 2 awards worth $60 thousand, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region accounts for 1 award valued at $27 thousand. All three rankings align; Alaska-based federal land and maritime agencies dominate the footprint. Award activity has declined from four purchase orders in 2021 to one or two annually in 2022–2024, with a single award recorded in 2026 to date. One award, valued at $12 thousand, faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents recompete exposure. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint and operates solely as a prime supplier under small business set-asides, with primary NAICS concentration in boat building, marine propulsion components, and all-terrain vehicle supply.
