Tidewater, Inc.

Tidewater, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Elkridge, Maryland, delivers facility maintenance, infrastructure sustainment, fuel systems management, and environmental remediation services to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor, with operations spanning domestic military installations, civilian federal facilities, and overseas diplomatic posts worldwide.

Tidewater is a Subchapter S Corporation with Subcontinent Asian American ownership and carries DOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification as a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements and under total small business set-asides, with recent prime activity concentrated heavily (100% of awards) in facility operations, infrastructure repair, HVAC systems, fuel management systems, and environmental services. The corporate structure includes seven named entities—Vets-Tidewater LLC (service-disabled veteran-owned), Tidewater-USA JV LLC, Tidewater-PHE JV LLC, Tidewater-Sovereign Consulting JV LLC, Tidewater-PEM JV LLC, and Tui America JV LLC—positioning the vendor to pursue opportunities across multiple socioeconomic set-aside categories through joint ventures and subsidiary structures.

The federal customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Charleston (627 awards, $124.9 million combined potential value) and the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (238 awards, $342.4 million combined potential value), accounting for 52% of recent awards. By dollar value, the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Civil Engineer Center anchors the portfolio at $3.5 billion across twelve awards—a significant discrepancy from award count that reflects large-scale infrastructure vehicles. The Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($1.07 billion across 35 awards) and the Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville ($260.4 million across 39 awards) round out the top five by dollars. Recent representative work includes a $13.4 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the State Department for HVAC replacement and repairs at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore under the Worldwide Design-Build Construction and Construction Projects IDIQ (ultimate completion March 2029), a $6.6 million delivery order for Naval Hospital Yokosuka facility support operations in Japan running through August 2031, a $4.6 million delivery order for design-build renovation at the 81st Readiness Division facility in Region H Kentucky under a total small business set-aside (November 2029 completion), and ongoing fuel management system maintenance at multiple overseas diplomatic facilities across State Department posts in Kosovo, Tajikistan, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Egypt, Ukraine, Brazil, Netherlands, Mongolia, Mexico, Fiji, South Africa, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Cambodia, and other locations.

Tidewater's vehicle position reflects concentration on engineering district and regional facility investment vehicles. The top parent IDIQs by task order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract GS11P01MQD0055 (422 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), W912HP16D0013 (90 task orders, $4.2 million), W912HP19D1004 (79 task orders, $7.2 million), W912HP18D1001 (76 task orders, $5.9 million), and W912HP14D0024 (69 task orders, $5.6 million)—all Army Corps of Engineers regional facility investment services vehicles. Tidewater also holds a $999,999,999,999 OASIS+ Total Small Business multiple-award contract with GSA (awarded December 19, 2024, through December 18, 2029), a $210 million Medical Facilities Support Services IDIQ with the Engineering Support Center Huntsville for Defense Health Agency medical facilities outside the continental United States (awarded January 29, 2025, through February 20, 2031), a $19.576 million Facility Investment Services IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District for 81st Readiness Division facilities in Regions B, E, and H (awarded May 19, 2024, through November 18, 2029), a $150 million Worldwide Design-Build Construction and Construction Projects IDIQ with the State Department Bureau of Overseas Building Operations for overseas diplomatic facility design-build services, a $5 million Air Mobility Command Pool 1 MACC Basic Ordering Agreement (awarded August 8, 2025, through August 7, 2030), and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded August 15, 2025, through August 14, 2030) with 56 active labor categories ranging from $41.47/hr to $242.33/hr covering Facilities Maintenance and Management services.

Activity trajectory shows significant decline year over year—from 139 awards in 2022 to 144 in 2023, declining to 81 in 2024, 57 in 2025, and 32 in 2026 through mid-September. This downward trajectory reflects consolidation of award activity toward larger-value IDIQs and master contracts rather than granular delivery orders. Within the next twenty-four months, Tidewater faces recompete exposure on 31 awards with combined potential value of $54.8 million, representing moderate near-term competitive risk concentrated on regional facility maintenance and infrastructure sustainment vehicles.

SCI-reported invoicing across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $5.8 million across fiscal years 2022–2025, with peak activity in FY2023 ($3 million across 4.6 FTEs) and FY2025 ($2.2 million across 1.3 FTEs). Median government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ran approximately $672.70/hr, with rates ranging from $15.64/hr at the tenth percentile to $2,213.73/hr at the ninety-fifth percentile, reflecting a portfolio spanning entry-level facility labor through senior technical and environmental consulting roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Tidewater performed 100% of contractor hours internally with no named subcontractor engagement, indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams for SCI-reportable work. The broader award portfolio shows Tidewater as a prime contractor on 1,948 awards (100% of tracked activity) with minimal subcontract exposure (6 sub awards at 0.3% of portfolio), positioning the vendor predominantly as a prime but capable of teaming as a subcontractor when the opportunity requires—evidenced by prior sub-award work with Kilgore Flares Company LLC on a W.R. Grace Curtis Bay FUSRAP remediation project.

The facility operations footprint centers on HVAC systems, plumbing and electrical infrastructure, fuel management systems, building envelope repairs, flooring and carpeting, environmental investigation and remediation, and specialized technical support across domestic military installations (Fort Campbell, Fort Meade, Travis Air Force Base, 81st Readiness Division installations across Regions B, C, E, and H), federal civilian buildings (Phoenix Federal Building, James A Walsh U.S. Courthouse, Weis Courthouse Pittsburgh), and overseas diplomatic facilities. NAICS concentration is highest in Facilities Support Services (838 awards), Building Inspection Services (426 awards), and Environmental Consulting Services (139 awards), with PSC concentration in Support-Professional services (446 awards) and Operation of Miscellaneous Buildings (330 awards). Combined potential value across the 1,954 awards in source data totals $36.16 billion, though only $469.2 million (approximately 1%) is obligated, indicating a pipeline heavily weighted toward indefinite delivery vehicles with task-order-based execution and progressive funding as work is called forward.
