William E. Munson Company

William E. Munson Company, doing business as William E Munson Co, manufactures custom aluminum watercraft ranging from 21 to 64 feet in length and operates as a 100% prime contractor with in-house manufacturing based in Burlington, Washington. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides — total small business designations account for roughly half of its recent awards — but also wins full-and-open delivery orders across its GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle. William E. Munson Company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with no stated SBA certifications or minority-ownership designations.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on design, fabrication, and delivery of specialized aluminum landing craft, patrol boats, research vessels, and workboats for federal natural-resource and maritime operations. Representative work includes a $3.62 million total small business purchase order from DOI's Alaska Region in April 2025 for a 65-foot multi-purpose vessel for National Park Service use in Glacier Bay; a $1.034 million delivery order from DOI Alaska Region in September 2024 for a 38-foot high-speed coastal patrol vessel; a $725.5 million Army delivery order in September 2025 under the GSA MAS for an LLA NRM workboat with performance through July 2027; and a $579.4 million NOAA definitive contract from September 2023 for a 28-foot uncrewed systems support vessel rated for Design Category C operations. The company also delivers specialized vessels for fire response, oil spill response, dive operations, and archeological research, along with boat trailers and training services.

Customer concentration is dispersed across Department of the Interior sub-agencies. The top five customers by award count — covering 29% of all awards — are the National Park Service Southeast Region (19 awards, $4.1 million combined potential value), Bureau of Reclamation (11 awards, $1.5 million), National Park Service Midwest Region (11 awards, $3.2 million), National Park Service Alaska Region (10 awards, $7.7 million), and Forest Service Region 10–Alaska (9 awards, $1.8 million). The dollar ranking tracks closely, with National Park Service Alaska Region leading at $7.7 million potential value, followed by the Southeast Region at $4.1 million. The Interior Department's various sub-agencies and regional offices collectively dominate the footprint; Defense (Army, Air Force) and civilian agencies (NOAA, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Energy Bonneville Power Administration, Department of State) round out the active set with smaller individual awards.

The vendor holds a single dominant vehicle position: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (47QSWA22D006M), awarded June 29, 2022, with a $1 million ceiling and performance through June 28, 2027. This vehicle carries 141 task orders with $27.6 million in combined potential value — representing the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal footprint. The MAS contract authorizes procurement of PackCat, PackMan, and utility vessel models across 150 hull configurations and outfitting options. Two legacy blanket purchase agreements (GS0750442M and HSCG2307ADNQ118) carry one task order each, totaling $197 thousand in potential value.

Activity has contracted year over year — thirteen awards in 2022 to three in 2026 (though the source reflects activity only through July 21, 2026). Twelve awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7.8 million and face recompete exposure. The source records 204 total prime awards with $63.8 million in combined potential value and $40.5 million in combined obligated dollars (63% obligation rate), spanning from 1999 to July 2026. NAICS 336612 (Boat Building) accounts for 190 of 204 awards; PSC Small Craft (103 awards) and Miscellaneous Vessels (24 awards) dominate the product-service classification footprint.
