Vigor Marine LLC

Vigor Marine LLC, a foreign-owned Portland, Oregon-based shipbuilding and ship repair contractor, delivers comprehensive vessel maintenance, repair, overhaul, and modernization services to federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing in full and open competition with no set-aside participation. The company operates as a subsidiary of Vigor Industrial LLC and draws customer concentration heavily from Naval Sea Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, and the U.S. Coast Guard across 395 awards valued at $9.84 billion combined potential value.

Naval Sea Systems Command dominates Vigor Marine's federal footprint by dollar magnitude. The top five funding agencies account for 83% of recent awards by count and 97% by combined potential value, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (59 awards, $6.38 billion combined potential value), Military Sealift Command (91 awards, $1.67 billion), the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (22 awards, $971.6 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (32 awards, $263.5 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (122 awards, $228.2 million). The two rankings diverge markedly — Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the dollar position despite fewer awards than Military Sealift Command, reflecting the Navy's depot modernization and docking selected restricted availability (DSRA) work, while the Corps of Engineers leads by count with smaller-dollar task orders. Recent prime work includes a $277.8 million USS KIDD (DDG 100) fiscal year 2025 depot modernization period with Naval Sea Systems Command (October 2024), a $107.5 million USNS MERCY (T-AH 19) regular overhaul with Military Sealift Command (January 2026), a $65.9 million USS SAVANNAH (LCS 28) fiscal year 2025 docking selected restricted availability with Naval Sea Systems Command (February 2027, the most recent award), and a $47.1 million USNS GUADALUPE regular overhaul and dry-docking with Military Sealift Command (August 2025).

Vigor Marine holds a portfolio of definitive contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its federal delivery. Major parent IDIQs include a $943.9 million Naval Sea Systems Command multiple-award contract for surface ship repair, maintenance, and modernization in the Everett, Washington area through January 2029; a $669.9 million Naval Sea Systems Command IDIQ for maintenance and modernization of non-nuclear surface ships homeported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii through September 2029; an $82.35 million U.S. Coast Guard single-award IDIQ for USCGC Polar Star dry-dock repair services through September 2030; and a $241.4 million Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command multiple-award IDIQ for Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance Program CONUS services through July 2031. Vigor Marine also holds a single-award Maritime Administration IDIQ valued at $8.29 million for vessel layberthing services on the U.S. West Coast through June 2031, and a $11.3 million Coast Guard single-award contract for USCGC Healy dry-dock repair services through August 2026. The Army Corps of Engineers awarded a Master Ship Repair Basic Ordering Agreement with a zero ceiling and performance through December 2026. Task order activity under the five largest IDIQs centered on Naval Sea Systems Command vehicles ranges from $10,000 minimum-order guarantees to multi-million-dollar definitive task orders issued across both Pearl Harbor and Everett facilities.

Activity has remained consistent at 12–17 awards per year over the past five years (2023: 15, 2024: 16, 2025: 12, 2026: 17, 2027: 1 year-to-date). Awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $560.7 million, concentrated in Naval Sea Systems Command surface combatant maintenance and Military Sealift Command auxiliary vessel sustainment, representing significant recompete exposure for the company. The vendor's NAICS concentration — 370 of 395 awards under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repair) — reflects core shipyard capabilities. Place of performance spans Portland, Oregon (primary shipyard), Seattle, Washington (additional facility), and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with administrative oversight at Washington, DC for certain Maritime Administration and government layberthing contracts.

Vigor Marine subcontracts selectively across specialized maritime domains. Named subcontractors include Rolls-Royce Marine North America for propulsion systems, Fairbanks Morse for diesel engine components, Delphinus Engineering (minority-owned small disadvantaged business) for underwater hull inspection and structural work, Scurlock Electric (HUBZone certified) for electrical services, Performance Contracting Inc. for insulation and structural repairs, Imia LLC for surface preparation and painting, and a multi-vendor team providing equipment rental, security, welding, machining, hydraulics, fire safety, and specialized maritime components. SCI reporting shows $1.5 million in invoiced revenue in FY2022 across 4.8 FTEs with a consistent median government-paid rate of $149.83/hour, but zero invoiced revenue and zero FTE reporting in FY2023–FY2025, reflecting that most Vigor Marine federal work is delivered through large fixed-price definitive contracts and IDIQs rather than billable service contracts above the SCI reporting threshold. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor; the source identifies one sub-award to CACI Inc. (Federal) on an advanced product innovation requirement for NAVALX, but this represents 0% of the 395-award count and does not reflect the vendor's typical business posture.

Vigor Marine's customer and vehicle concentration is stable. The top five agencies span both Navy (Naval Sea Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, Coast Guard) and Army (TACOM, Corps of Engineers), with the Navy driving 64% of combined potential value and the Army driving 30%. Full and open competition posture, absence of set-aside participation, and capital-intensive shipyard operations place Vigor Marine in direct prime-to-prime competition with other West Coast repair contractors and limit its role in teaming arrangements to specialized subcontract roles on larger integrators' surface ship maintenance programs.
