The United States Coast Guard is soliciting proposals for the Response Boat Small Third Generation (RB-S III) program to recapitalize its aging fleet of 29-foot RB-S II platforms. This total small business set-aside procurement, under NAICS code 336612, seeks to award up to four Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for the design, production, testing, and delivery of approximately 411 boats and associated purpose-built trailers. The scope includes comprehensive logistics support, technical documentation, and crew familiarization services. The anticipated ordering period spans ten years, consisting of a two-year base period and an eight-year option period. The acquisition utilizes a two-phase competitive process. In Phase I, the government evaluates written proposals based on mission effectiveness, production and management, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important. Up to four awardees will each receive an initial delivery order to construct one demonstrator boat and trailer. Phase II consists of a 90-day in-water demonstration to evaluate performance, with the final best-value tradeoff resulting in the selection of a single IDIQ contractor for all subsequent production orders. Phase I proposals are due by 1400 Eastern Time on November 20, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the DoD Secure Access File Exchange.
