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 as a prime contractor on 203 federal awards, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with recurring use of total small business set-asides. Based in Burlington, Washington, the company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and small business that holds a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract as its dominant vehicle for federal ordering.

The company's capability portfolio centers exclusively on specialized marine vessels — landing craft, patrol boats, workboats, and research vessels — with performance in boat building (NAICS 336612) and small craft procurement (PSC code) anchoring 93% of its 203 awards. Representative work includes a $3.62 million firm fixed-price total small business purchase order from the Department of the Interior's Alaska Region (April 2025) for a 65-foot multi-purpose vessel for the National Park Service; a $725,501 delivery order from the U.S. Army (September 2025) for an LLA NRM workboat under the GSA MAS; a $1.034 million delivery order from the Department of the Interior's Alaska Region (September 2024) for a 38-foot high-speed coastal patrol vessel; a $442,911 total small business purchase order from the National Park Service Alaska Region (September 2024) for a 32-foot oil spill response vessel; and a $725,196 small business set-aside purchase order from the National Park Service Alaska Region (September 2025) for a 32-foot research vessel and trailer for Glacier Bay National Park. The company also delivered a $199,560 total small business set-aside fire and rescue boat to the U.S. Air Force (September 2024) and a $505,332 total small business catamaran landing craft for dive operations to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (December 2023).

Customer concentration is fragmented across Interior bureaus and defense agencies. The top five funding sources by award count account for 29% of awards: the National Park Service Southeast Region leads with 19 awards worth $4.1 million combined potential value, followed by the Bureau of Reclamation (11 awards, $1.5 million), the National Park Service Alaska Region (10 awards, $7.7 million), the National Park Service Midwest Region (10 awards, $2.9 million), and the Forest Service R10-Alaska Region (9 awards, $1.8 million). The top five by potential value also account for 29% of combined potential value, with the National Park Service Alaska Region anchoring the dollar profile at $7.7 million across 10 awards. The vendor serves 55 distinct federal customer agencies, indicating broad but shallow penetration rather than customer concentration risk.

William E. Munson Company holds a $1 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded June 29, 2022, through June 28, 2027) under Special Item Number 336612, which accounts for 140 task orders worth $27.3 million in combined potential value — the overwhelming majority of the vendor's federal footprint. Task orders under this vehicle span landing craft, patrol boats, workboats, and research vessels for civilian agencies and defense components. The vendor also participates in a small number of blanket purchase agreements (one task order under HSCG2307ADNQ118 worth $197 thousand for Coast Guard work) and direct purchase orders outside vehicle structures.

Activity has contracted year over year — 13 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded through July 2026 — signaling either a slowdown in ordering velocity or a portfolio shift toward larger individual task orders with longer lead times. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $8.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors on refresh cycles across National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and Army Corps of Engineers workboat and landing craft programs. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint across its federal portfolio, manufacturing in-house from its Burlington, Washington facility with place of performance nationwide for delivery to agency locations. Total combined potential value across all 203 awards is $63.5 million, with $40.2 million obligated (63% of potential value), indicating substantial prior execution against the award pipeline.
