A Nevada Corporation Training Resources Limited

A Nevada Corporation Training Resources Limited, doing business as Maritime Institute, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in San Diego, California that delivers specialized maritime training, credentialing, and vessel-leasing services to the U.S. Department of Defense and civilian maritime agencies as a prime contractor on 157 awards (100% prime split) across delivery orders, blanket purchase agreement calls, and single-award indefinite delivery contracts. Maritime Institute operates as a child entity under parent Abrams Marine Group, Inc., also SDVOSB-designated; the vendor competes almost entirely outside formal set-asides, with the exception of Total Small Business designations on a small number of awards and a single SDVOSB sole-source IDIQ with NOAA.

Maritime Institute's federal footprint centers on two dominant customers that account for all combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command leads by dollar volume: 46 awards valued at $42.3 million combined potential value, predominantly for Civilian Mariner (CIVMAR) maritime training in damage control, able-body seaman certification, survival craft proficiency, high-voltage safety, and related courses performed primarily in Fleet, Virginia and Norfolk, Virginia. The United States Special Operations Command places significantly more orders by count—69 awards—but with lower per-order magnitude: $14.5 million combined potential value across International Yacht Training (IYT) maritime credentialing, 100-ton Masters certification, maritime engineering courses, bareboat vessel leases, and STCW training. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the third customer at 24 awards and $2.6 million, focused on OMAO-specific damage control, bridge resource management, and voyage planning training for research vessels. Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command round out an active set with smaller order volumes ($238 thousand and $107 thousand respectively across seven combined awards).

Maritime Institute holds four primary indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its federal posture. The cornerstone is a $36.1 million single-award IDC with Military Sealift Command for comprehensive CIVMAR maritime training services, which has generated 44 task orders valued at roughly $1 million combined. A $2 million single-award SDVOSB sole-source IDC with NOAA (awarded May 24, 2023, running through May 24, 2028) covers OMAO training and has yielded 24 delivery orders in 2024–2026 ranging from $5,100 to $55,066 per order. A March 3, 2026 single-award Total Small Business IDC with USSOCOM valued at $2 million covers maritime courses of instruction (100-ton Masters, RADAR Observer, Celestial Navigation, STCW, customized courses) at Virginia Beach, San Diego, and Stennis, structured across five one-year ordering periods. A July 11, 2022 single-award $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with USSOCOM procures maritime engineering course instruction, with six delivery orders executed to date totaling approximately $130,379. Representative recent work includes a $750,000 CIVMAR maritime training delivery order from Military Sealift Command (March 6, 2026 through March 7, 2027), a $24,222 damage control course for 35 students aboard NOAA Ship Rainier in Newport, Oregon (June 16–17, 2026, SDVOSB sole-source), and a $30,750 voyage planning bridge resource management training order for NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson in Norfolk, Virginia (March 23–27, 2026, SDVOSB sole-source).

Activity has grown significantly year over year, rising from 14 awards in 2022 to 31 in 2024, though declining to 15 in 2025 and 9 to date in 2026. Only three awards totaling $973 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term; the $36.1 million MSC IDC and $2 million NOAA IDC both extend to 2028–2029. Maritime Institute's capability portfolio is anchored in U.S. Coast Guard-approved maritime training courses spanning over eighty distinct offerings: damage control, bridge resource management and voyage planning, vessel operations and engineering, survival craft proficiency, Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) certification, International Yacht Training credentialing, and 100-ton Masters certification. The vendor also operates a secondary bareboat vessel-leasing line, placing seven BPA calls and purchase orders for vessel leases with USSOCOM between 2021 and 2024 ranging from $80,500 to $187,000 per lease. NAICS concentration sits heavily in 611699 (Other Technical and Trade Schools, 85 awards), 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training, 29 awards), and 488330 (Commercial Air, Rail, and Water Transportation Equipment Rental and Leasing, 16 awards for vessel leases).

Maritime Institute invoiced $8.6 million (14% of combined potential value) against all awards in the source window, reflecting the freshness of its major IDC awards and the recent acceleration of delivery-order volume in 2024–2026. The vendor competes full-and-open across most of its prime footprint despite SDVOSB status; SDVOSB sole-source appears only on the NOAA IDIQ and a handful of delivery orders, while most Military Sealift Command and USSOCOM work carries no set-aside designation.
