About the company
Washington State Ferries, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation operating as a U.S. state government transit authority, provides maritime passenger transportation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 118 awards with a combined potential value of $1.6 million. The vendor competes in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations; all awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreement calls issued without small business reserve. Washington State Ferries is registered in SAM.gov and operates as a child entity under its parent, the Washington Department of Public Instruction, a state government structure that has held federal contract and grant awards since at least 2001.
Washington State Ferries' capability portfolio is narrowly focused on ferry transportation services for federal personnel, veterans, equipment, and vehicles across the Puget Sound waterway system. Recent representative work includes a $105,985 purchase order from Navy SECNAV Criminal Investigative Service Quantico (awarded February 1, 2022, completing January 31, 2027) for ferry transportation services in the Seattle area; a $99,801.30 Defense Health Agency purchase order (awarded October 15, 2021, completing October 14, 2026) for ferry transportation; and a $5,000 Department of Defense purchase order (awarded April 3, 2026) for ferry transportation supporting federal operations in Bremerton. The vendor also holds recurring WAVE2GO ferry-pass purchase orders from the Department of Veterans Affairs, monthly ferry-transit contracts under the federal Joint Employee Transportation Services (JETS) program, and small-dollar WSDOT Good to Go pass purchases from the Defense Logistics Agency.
Customer concentration clusters heavily on defense and veterans agencies. The top five customers account for 58% of recent awards: the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (19 awards, $257 thousand), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (16 awards, $198 thousand), Navy SECNAV Criminal Investigative Service Quantico (14 awards, $332 thousand), the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services (10 awards, $24 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (9 awards, $125 thousand). The recompete exposure is modest: four awards with combined potential value of $237 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor holds two recurring blanket purchase agreements — BPA 36C26020A0010 with 6 task orders ($4 thousand combined value) and BPA AG6395B150055 with 4 task orders ($9 thousand combined value) — that anchor repeatable JETS program and ferry-pass work. Award activity has remained flat at two to four contracts per year from 2022 through 2026, with primary NAICS classification split between Regulation and Administration of Transportation Programs (48 awards) and Inland Water Passenger Transportation (30 awards).
