3 D OF KEY WEST, INC.

3 D OF KEY WEST, INC. specializes in the maintenance, haul-out, and dry-dock servicing of federal marine vessels, with deep technical expertise in shipyard operations tailored to NOAA and Department of Commerce assets. The contractor performs annual vessel haul-outs using precision lifting and marine rail systems, ensuring compliance with federal marine safety and environmental protocols. Their work includes hull inspections, propeller and rudder maintenance, underwater cleaning, and systems reintegration—all conducted in accordance with NOAA registration standards and marine sanctuary operational requirements. Located in Key West, Florida, the company leverages its strategic position in the Florida Keys to deliver rapid-response vessel support in a sensitive marine environment, emphasizing minimal ecological disruption and adherence to NOAA’s vessel management protocols. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-term relationship with the Department of Commerce, primarily supporting NOAA’s Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary fleet. Their work focuses on sustaining the operational readiness of research and enforcement vessels critical to marine conservation, habitat monitoring, and scientific data collection. Each engagement requires coordination with federal marine operations teams, adherence to strict environmental compliance standards, and execution in high-traffic, ecologically protected waters. Their primary industry focus is shipbuilding and repairing (NAICS 336611), specifically the specialized niche of vessel sustainment for federal scientific and stewardship missions. Unlike general shipyards, they concentrate on mid-sized, mission-critical vessels requiring calibrated maintenance schedules and regulatory alignment with NOAA’s operational needs. This positions them as a trusted, niche provider within the federal marine support sector. As a small business structured as a 2L entity, 3 D OF KEY WEST, INC. operates from its base in Key West, Florida, with no federal certifications on record. Their market positioning is defined by geographic specialization, technical precision in vessel haul-out operations, and deep familiarity with NOAA’s vessel lifecycle requirements in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico region.
