About MARITIME ADMINISTRATION federal contract activity
Over the last 5 years, the Maritime Administration recorded 17,597 awards with total obligated dollars of 5.36 billion and an average award value of 304,627.42. The obligation profile indicates a large, recurring procurement base rather than a small number of high-dollar actions.

TOTE SERVICES, LLC leads with 1.46 billion across 2,148 awards, followed by CROWLEY GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC. at 936.57 million and KEYSTONE SHIPPING SERVICES, INC. at 532.00 million; the remaining top vendors also show substantial award volume, indicating sustained multi-award relationships.

Award counts increased steadily, rising from 3,191 in 2021 to 4,470 in 2025, which suggests more fragmented procurement activity even as obligation totals softened in the most recent years.
