Marine Systems Corporation (MSCorp)

What Marine Systems Corporation (MSCorp) does

Marine Systems Corporation (MSCorp) is a privately held small business founded in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27, 1973, established specifically to provide technical support to the U.S. Navy following the closure of the Boston Naval Shipyard. The company specializes in marine engineering, design, logistics, planning, and maintenance support services, with core technical competencies in Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems, C5ISR integration, naval architecture, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) products (Electronic Technical Manuals, Ship Selected Records, Provisioning Technical Documentation), Test and Evaluation methodology, and on-site representation at naval shipyards and shipbuilding facilities. Its product surface also includes a Virtual Tour Platform providing interactive 360-degree and VR-enabled visualization for maritime projects.

MSCorp operates as a government contractor via two primary contract vehicles: a prime position on the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport NxG) IDIQ (Contract # N00178-19-D-8073) with NAVSEA Warfare Centers — a vehicle whose overall ceiling is up to $5 billion per year across all awardees — and a GSA Professional Services Schedule (Contract # 47QRAA19D006B, 2019–2024 ordering period) accessible to all federal agencies. Its customer base is anchored by the U.S. Navy (NAVSEA, PMS325, PEOSHIPS, LCAC Program, Military Sealift Command) but also extends to the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration, and selected state and municipal agencies. MSCorp supports nine U.S. office locations spanning Boston (HQ), Norfolk, Panama City Beach, San Diego, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Mobile, Bath, and Marinette, and claims over 45 years of naval/maritime engineering experience and more than 120 successful DON prime contracts.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales oriented around relationship-based contracting with government buyers at naval facilities and through established IDIQ vehicles. Revenue mechanics are professional services on fixed-price and time-and-materials task orders; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Quality assurance is anchored by an ISO 9001-compliant Quality Management System. The company has assembled a 25+ partner Seaport NxG team — including CACI, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics, Alion, PAE, L3Harris/Engility, Gibbs & Cox, and others — to pursue NAVSEA engineering and program management task orders beyond the firm's individual small-business capacity ceiling.
