About the company
Tradewinds Towing LLC, a New Orleans-based maritime services company, operates as a subcontractor (83% of recent awards) on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredging and marine construction projects, with a single recent prime contract for tug-assist services. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company competing under total small business set-asides on its prime work.
Tradewinds provides tug-assist, towing, and standby support for federal dredging operations and heavy marine construction throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. coastal regions. The firm operates U.S.-flagged, ABS-certified tugboats with Coast Guard-certified personnel capable of sustained towing in moderate sea states. Recent representative work includes a $159 thousand firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District in October 2025 for towing the Multi-Purpose Vessel "Brandy Station," a 174-foot Landing Craft Utility vessel, from Freeport, Texas to Houma, Louisiana; tug-assist support on maintenance dredging projects at U.S. Naval Station Mayport and Jacksonville Harbor in Florida under prime contractor The Dutra Group (awarded November 2024); and multiple tug-assist and standby tasks on Corps of Engineers dredging variations awarded under The Dutra Group's prime contract in March 2024.
All work reported across the past three years flows through the Army Corps of Engineers, with customer concentration split among the Wilmington District (three awards), Jacksonville District (one award), and a single direct Department of the Army award. The vendor holds a single task order position on the SAD Dredging and Shore Protection 2019 vehicle. Activity is sparse — one award in 2022, four in 2024, and one in 2025 — with combined potential value of $159 thousand against obligated dollars of $1.2 million, indicating invoiced revenue significantly exceeds the ceiling valuations carried in contract documentation. Tradewinds performs all subcontract work under The Dutra Group, a major marine construction and dredging prime that has engaged the vendor repeatedly on Corps-funded maintenance dredging and heavy lift operations since late 2022. The vendor's NAICS profile sits predominantly in Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, with secondary coding in Navigational Services to Shipping.
