About Vane Brothers Marine Safety & Services, Inc.
Vane Brothers Marine Safety & Services, Inc., headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia, provides maritime safety equipment inspection, maintenance, and certification services to U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and civilian federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor under small disadvantaged business (SDB) designation. The vendor operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designations across recent awards), though SDB status recurs across the prime footprint. Work centers on life raft inspection and recertification, immersion suit inspection and testing, and procurement of coast guard–approved lifesaving equipment for government vessels.
Vane Brothers' customer base concentrates heavily on maritime commands. The top five agencies account for 88% of awards by count and 96% of combined potential value, anchored by the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (57 awards, $3.1 million combined potential value) and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (66 awards, $250 thousand combined potential value). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (18 awards, $212 thousand combined potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards, $11 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of the Navy's U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) round out the active customer set. NAICS concentration reflects the maritime focus: Other Support Activities for Water Transportation (51 awards), Ship Building and Repairing (33 awards), and Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (27 awards) dominate the portfolio. PSC coding aligns similarly, with Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment–Ship and Marine Equipment (50 awards) and Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment (36 awards) driving volume.
Recent representative work includes a $153,050 firm fixed-price purchase order from Military Sealift Command (September 2025) for 20 Elliot MK IV DL USCG life rafts with 25-person capacity for the USNS Comfort hospital ship, a $12,199.90 immersion suit inspection task for the USNS Humphreys (March 2025), and an $8,368.50 immersion suit inspection and testing award from U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) for four vessels in Carrier Strike Group Four (March 2026). The vendor places task orders under Coast Guard IDC HSCG8012DP30W94 (10 task orders, $14 thousand combined potential value) and carries minimal subcontract exposure—one sub task with Crowley Government Services for regulatory inspections and life raft maintenance (March 2025). Award activity remains modest and variable (four awards in 2021, one in 2022, five in 2025, two in 2026 year-to-date); only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $10 thousand in combined potential value and minimal recompete cliff exposure. The vendor has maintained federal contracting relationships since 1996, with $3.8 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source data.
