U.s. Marine Management, LLC

U.S. Marine Management, LLC, doing business as 3PSC LLC, is a Norfolk, Virginia-based maritime services provider that operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open tanker time and voyage charter contracts for the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, with 99% of recent awards concentrated in unrestricted MSC procurement and no use of federal small business set-asides across its prime footprint.

The company's capability portfolio centers exclusively on vessel charter and maritime transportation services. U.S. Marine Management deploys a fleet of double-hull tankers capable of carrying between 40,000 and 310,000 barrels of clean petroleum products—including JP5, F76, and JA1 military-grade fuels—for global sealift and fuel distribution to Navy vessels and strategic locations. Recent representative prime awards include a $214 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded March 5, 2026 for Maritime Support Vessel (MSV2) operations with ultimate completion February 14, 2031; a $133 million definitive contract from August 22, 2023 for time charter of the medium-range tanker Athlos through July 21, 2028 (base period plus four one-year options and one eleven-month option); an $82.2 million definitive contract from October 30, 2024 for the shallow-draft tanker Redwood Trader with completion October 20, 2026; and recurring purchase orders for 60- to 150-day tanker time and voyage charters in the Mediterranean, Far East, Arabian Gulf, and Pacific theaters, typically valued between $2 million and $13.7 million per charter. Performance locations span global regions—Greece, Japan, Hawaii, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the Indian Ocean—with administrative oversight at Norfolk, Virginia.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command accounts for 103 of 109 total awards (99% of coverage) and $2.51 billion of the combined $2.77 billion potential value. The Department of the Army Joint Munitions Command holds one award ($207.6 million), the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy holds one award ($54 million), and the Department of the Air Force holds one award with zero dollar ceiling. This concentration reflects MSC's role as the dominant customer for maritime transportation services.

U.S. Marine Management holds two significant indefinite delivery vehicles: a $54 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Military Sealift Command through September 30, 2030 (awarded October 1, 2024), which enables procurement of tanker time and voyage charters ranging from 45 to 90 days; and a zero-dollar ceiling Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force for Voluntary Tanker Agreement contingency services through December 31, 2032 (awarded August 28, 2024), structured to enroll tanker capacity for activation during contingencies while minimizing disruption to commercial customers. Task orders flow from these vehicles to support strategic sealift operations globally.

Award activity shows material decline: nineteen awards in 2022, dropping to eleven in 2023, eight in 2024, six in 2025, and one in 2026 as of the data cutoff. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards (combined potential value $370.8 million) face ultimate completion and recompete exposure.

U.S. Marine Management is registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and has no identified subcontractor relationships in the source data. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor in the full-and-open maritime transportation space, competing on price and technical acceptability under FAR Part 15 procedures without federal set-aside designations. The vendor's footprint is narrowly specialized: Deep Sea Freight Transportation (NAICS 483112) and Marine Charter services (PSC S206) represent 104 of 109 awards, with three awards for facilities support and one for other technical services.
