About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Tidewater Staffing Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Chesapeake, Virginia, provides temporary staffing and firewatch support to the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies primarily as a subcontractor (53% of recent awards) under ship-maintenance and shipyard contracts. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing predominantly in sub-award settings rather than holding prime contract vehicles.

Tidewater's recent footprint is heavily concentrated in Navy shipyard operations. The Department of the Navy accounts for ten of fifteen total awards across two customer lines: Naval Sea Systems Command (seven awards) and the Secretary of the Navy (two awards, $82 thousand combined potential value). The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration, the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and Naval Air Systems Command round out the customer base. Top-line awards by potential value are modest — the Secretary of the Navy anchors $82 thousand of the $220 thousand in combined potential value — but obligated dollars across all awards total $695 thousand, reflecting active invoicing against relatively small individual task orders.

Tidewater subcontracts almost exclusively to Marine Hydraulics International for firewatch support and staffing augmentation on USS MESA VERDE (LPD 19) and USS NEW YORK (LPD 21) during Selected Restricted Availability (SRA) periods, with task orders dated through December 2025 covering fire-watch staffing, cleaning services, and labor support. A single sub-award from VT Milcom Inc. in January 2024 provided labor support onboard USS Arlington. The vendor also holds prime awards — seven of fifteen total — under Maritime Administration and Navy contracting, including a four-task-order seat on an indefinite delivery contract (DTDTMA2D07002) carrying $191 thousand in combined potential value.

NAICS coding reveals the work splits between Ship Building and Repairing (seven awards) and Temporary Help Services (five awards), with supporting PSC coding under Professional Support Services (five awards). Activity has been episodic historically — one award each in 2009, 2010, and 2013 — but accelerated in 2025 with seven awards concentrated in the final months of the year, all tied to Navy vessel maintenance windows. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on temporary staffing, firewatch personnel, and labor augmentation for naval shipyard and ship-maintenance operations, with a secondary footprint in civilian maritime agency support.
