X Marks The Spot LLC

X Marks The Spot LLC, doing business as Lady's Island Marina, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient with no prime contract or direct federal procurement footprint. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation based in coastal South Carolina with a narrow, localized federal engagement centered on marine resource stewardship and vessel-facility compliance programs administered through the Department of the Interior.

All three of X Marks The Spot's recent federal awards are sub-grant positions under the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The vendor received two sub-awards under the South Carolina Clean Vessel Act — Coastal program (awarded July 2022 and July 2024) and one under the USFWS Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) Tier II program (awarded April 2022), for a combined $978 thousand obligated across the two-year engagement window. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 is the sole funding agency across all three awards.

Activity volume is minimal and episodic. Two awards flowed in 2022 and one in 2024, with no intermediate 2023 award in the source record. The gap between the April 2022 BIG award and the July 2024 Clean Vessel Act sub-award suggests project-based or annual cycle funding rather than continuous operational engagement. With zero prime awards, no contract vehicles, and sub-award work that totals less than one million dollars obligated over two years, X Marks The Spot operates as a niche performer in federal grant administration rather than as a federal contractor or systems integrator. The company's federal posture is subsidiary to its core business as a marina operator; federal grants appear to fund specific environmental compliance, vessel sanitation, and boating-access initiatives at the facility itself rather than generating scalable service lines for broader federal markets.
