Barge #600 Hydraulic Lines Replacement for Missouri River Project Office (MRPO)

Solicitation W9128F26QA097 is a firm-fixed-price request for proposal issued by the Department of Defense for the replacement of high-pressure hydraulic piping systems on Equipment Barge #600, located at the Missouri River Project Office in Omaha, Nebraska. This total small business set-aside project requires the contractor to drain and dispose of hydraulic fluid, remove existing lines, and install new Schedule 160 seamless steel pipes and flexible lines meeting SAE 100R12 and USCG Approved/SAE J1942 Type A standards. The scope includes cutting and patching access holes and performing pressure testing at 3000 psi to ensure a leak-free operational system. The period of performance is scheduled from November 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027, with a single payment issued upon completion. Due to the nature of the work, activities inside the barge hull are designated as permit-required confined spaces, requiring strict compliance with EM 385-1-1 and OSHA standards, including a contractor-led rescue plan. Offerors must provide proof of insurance, a site-specific health and safety plan, and material certifications prior to starting work. Evaluation for award is based on best value, requiring bidders to demonstrate past performance with at least two similar projects completed within the last five years. Proposals were due by September 18, 2026, and must include comprehensive pricing for all labor, travel, and materials.
