RIDDLE MARINE, LLC

RIDDLE MARINE, LLC specializes in the design and construction of specialized vessels under the NAICS 336612 boat building classification, focusing on custom maritime platforms tailored to federal operational requirements. Their technical expertise encompasses hull fabrication, marine propulsion integration, systems survivability, and compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and federal maritime safety standards. Though limited in public award history, their sole known engagement involved a government vessel procurement effort, indicating capacity in end-to-end boat building—from blueprint to delivery—within highly regulated federal environments. The termination of that contract for the government’s convenience suggests the firm operates within complex acquisition frameworks requiring precise adherence to technical specifications and contractual milestones. The company’s primary agency relationship is with the Department of the Interior, which typically procures vessels for law enforcement, resource management, and environmental monitoring missions on inland waterways, reservoirs, and coastal zones. This implies RIDDLE MARINE’s solutions are likely aligned with patrol, survey, or scientific support craft suited for sensitive ecological or border regions under Interior’s jurisdiction, including agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or Bureau of Reclamation. Operating under the 2L entity structure, RIDDLE MARINE is a small, privately held business based in Lewiston, Idaho, positioning it as a regional provider with potential niche expertise in riverine and freshwater vessel systems. While no government certifications are listed, their work in 336612 boat building indicates direct engagement with defense-adjacent maritime procurement pathways. Their geographic location suggests familiarity with Pacific Northwest waterway conditions and an ability to serve federal clients requiring inland or remote-area maritime assets. The firm’s market positioning reflects a specialized, low-volume contractor focused on precision vessel construction rather than mass production.
