CARDINAL POINT CAPTAINS, INC.

Cardinal Point Captains, Inc. specializes in delivering mission-critical technical and scientific support services to federal agencies, with deep expertise in marine operations, environmental research, and specialized instrumentation. The company provides end-to-end vessel support services, including dive team logistics, underwater equipment procurement, and scientific platform operations for oceanographic and coastal research. Their technical capabilities span the deployment and maintenance of advanced acoustical transponder systems, underwater communication networks, and precision navigation instrumentation, alongside environmental consulting for marine sanctuaries and ecosystem monitoring. They are uniquely positioned to integrate ruggedized marine hardware with operational field support, ensuring reliable performance in demanding maritime environments. The contractor maintains a strong, sustained relationship with the Department of Commerce, particularly NOAA’s National Ocean Service and Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, where they deliver vessel-based scientific support, diving program logistics, and environmental data collection infrastructure. They also serve the Department of Defense with specialized nautical and aeronautical instrumentation, including ultra-short baseline acoustic systems and production units for underwater surveillance applications. Their work for the Department of the Interior and EPA further underscores their role in environmental compliance and aquatic ecosystem research. Cardinal Point Captains primarily operates under NAICS 541990 (other professional, scientific, and technical services), 541620 (environmental consulting), and 334511 (nautical system manufacturing), reflecting a niche focus on marine science support, environmental compliance, and precision underwater instrumentation. They are not a generalist contractor but a targeted provider of high-reliability systems and services for oceanographic and coastal federal missions. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business headquartered in San Diego, California, the company leverages its 2L structure to deliver agile, mission-focused solutions with a deep understanding of federal procurement pathways. Their geographic location provides strategic access to Pacific and coastal federal assets, reinforcing their role as a trusted partner in maritime research and defense applications.
