CGC MAPLE DOCKSIDE REPAIRS

The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting bids for dockside repairs to the concrete pier supporting USCGC MAPLE (WLB 207) in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, under solicitation number 70Z08526QIBCT0061. This is a total small business set-aside, restricted to small businesses certified under NAICS code 336611 for shipbuilding and ship repair. The estimated contract value is $3,750,700, encompassing structural repairs to approximately 600 square feet of underdeck and pile cap spalls, rehabilitation of 3,000 square feet of cracked deck surface, installation of temporary steel plates for load distribution, and restoration of damaged edge beams. Work is required to restore the pier’s structural integrity following prior contractor default, with inspection criteria focused on spalling, cracking, rebar exposure, and deterioration severity, though no formal industry standards like ASTM or ACI are explicitly cited. The procurement is managed by the Surface Forces Logistics Center’s Procurement Branch 1 in Norfolk, Virginia, with Iran N. Walker serving as the primary point of contact. Proposals must be submitted by August 28, 2026, to the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests via email or fax, with additional correspondence directed to the contracting officer in Norfolk. While appendices reference observed defects and cost estimates, and photographs document structural conditions, no formal list of attachments, packaging specifications, or inspection acceptance criteria beyond visual assessments are provided. The solicitation does not include detailed contract clauses, evaluation factors for award, payment or accounting information, or specific delivery schedules. There is also no identification of a Contracting Officer’s Representative, nor have offeror representations such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications been included in the available documentation. The contract type remains unspecified beyond being labeled "combined," and special requirements like security clearances, OCI provisions, or options are not addressed. All activity is centered on urgent infrastructure repair to maintain vessel operations, with no indication of future options or escalation mechanisms.
