The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Orlando, acting on behalf of the U.S. Navy’s Program Executive Office Infrastructure and Expeditionary, has awarded a five-year Production Other Transaction Authority agreement to Maritime Applied Physics Corporation, operating as BlackSea Technologies, for the Seabased Petroleum Distribution System.

The project is expected to be completed by August 2032, supporting logistics over-the-shore capabilities critical to expeditionary operations. The primary performance location and contracting office are both situated in Orlando, Florida, with the Department of Defense as the overseeing agency and NAICS code 237120 indicating construction of pipelines and other water and sewer infrastructure. No set-aside provisions apply to this award, making it open to all eligible competitors under the OTA framework. Primary point of contact for the contract is Matthew Beatty, with Jason Graham serving as secondary contact, both reachable through official military email and phone lines. The award was officially posted on May 6, 2026, and is accessible via the SAM.gov platform.
