The Washington Marina Company

The Washington Marina Company, doing business as Washington Marina Co Inc., supplies marine engines, fuel tanks, propellers, generators, and related watercraft components to federal agencies as a small business prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards in the prime role and no subcontract footprint. The firm is based in Washington, D.C., operates as a for-profit corporate entity, and has held SAM.gov registration since 2002. The vendor competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open categories, with set-asides anchoring roughly one-third of the recent award volume.

The portfolio reflects a tightly focused capability: supply of Honda, Yamaha, and Evinrude outboard motors; engine fuel tanks and fuel system components; propellers and steering controls; boat generators; and smaller components including ignition coils, thermostat assemblies, and armature kits. Recent representative awards span a $34.67 million multiple-award IDIQ with the U.S. Coast Guard (December 2023 through November 2028) for Honda marine engines to support Small Boat Product Line platforms; a $350 thousand single-award IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (November 2025) for fuel tanks; and a $92.4 thousand purchase order from the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (September 2023) for new boat engines supporting the SPEAR program. The vendor also holds a $147.9 thousand BPA under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for Zodiac FC 470 PRO marine equipment, and recent GSA MAS delivery orders for Yamaha and Honda outboard motors valued between $10 thousand and $49.9 thousand per order.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 55% of all recent awards; by potential value, the top five deliver 84% of combined value. The U.S. Coast Guard dominates on dollars—7 awards carrying $34.7 million combined potential value, almost entirely driven by the $34.67 million IDIQ—while Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA L&M) dominates on award frequency with 78 orders totaling $1.9 million. The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs follows with 19 awards valued at $1.4 million, typically for stock replenishment and boat maintenance parts at Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C. This deep concentration in DLA L&M and State contrasts sharply with the Coast Guard's single large vehicle: many small, recurring orders for engine components and propulsion spares versus one massive open-ended supply agreement.

The vendor places work on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (48 task orders, $1.8 million combined value) and holds five named single-award and multiple-award IDCs. Beyond the $34.67 million Coast Guard IDIQ, active vehicles include the $350 thousand DLA L&M fuel tanks contract awarded November 2025, a $250 thousand DLA L&M single-award IDC for fuel tanks and engine parts (March 2025 through March 2026, with two delivery orders issued), and the $147.9 thousand Headquarters Division BPA for Zodiac marine equipment under GSA MAS. The vendor has no participation in government-wide vehicles (GWACs, Alliant, OASIS) or agency-wide competitive IDIQs; all work flows through single-award or multiple-award contracts under specific agencies.

Activity has been episodic: five awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, four in 2024, 15 in 2025, and four in 2026 (through early July). The portfolio shows 222 total awards with combined potential value of $46.1 million and combined obligations of $6.2 million (13% obligated), indicating a large inventory of optionally-deliverable task orders and frame agreements. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only one award worth $37 thousand faces expiration—meaning the Coast Guard IDIQ renewal at November 2028 is the sole material recompete risk in planning horizon. The bulk of the portfolio consists of small purchase orders and delivery orders (many under $50 thousand) placed repetitively by DLA L&M and State, suggesting a distribution and stockkeeping relationship rather than a manufacturing or systems-integration capability.

The vendor's primary NAICS footprint reflects marine equipment supply: Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (65 awards), Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (13 awards), and Motor and Generator Manufacturing (14 awards). Top PSC codes align: Gasoline Reciprocating Engines and Components (41 awards), Ship and Boat Propulsion Components (27 awards), and Engine Fuel System Components (26 awards). Work is performed in Washington, D.C. with deliveries to Coast Guard operational commands, DLA depots (CONUS and OCONUS), and civilian agency field sites nationwide.
