The Department of Defense's NAICS 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations) market: incumbents, spending trend, set-asides and open solicitations — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov notices.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 309 | $59.9M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 305 | $83.5M | +39% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 173 | $44.1M | -47% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 37 | $9.1M | -79% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
| # | Contractor | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | S.C.A. - SHIPPING CONSULTANTS ASSOCIATED LTD. | $83.7M | 42.5% |
| 2 | WAYPOINT LLC | $50.5M | 25.7% |
| 3 | INCHCAPE SHIPPING SERVICES DUBAI LLC | $12.7M | 6.5% |
| 4 | BLACK BULL GROUP INC. | $5.7M | 2.9% |
| 5 | MLSUSA CORP | $5.4M | 2.7% |
Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once.
