Dock-Side (DS): CGC ACTIVE AA FY27

The Department of Homeland Security, through the USCG SFLC Procurement Branch 1, has issued solicitation 70Z08026QMECP0030 for the Dock-Side Aviation Availability of the USCGC ACTIVE (WMEC 618) for Fiscal Year 2027. This contract is a 100% small business set-aside specifically for HUBZone concerns under NAICS code 336611. The period of performance is scheduled from May 5, 2027, to June 3, 2027, with the place of performance located in Port Angeles, Washington. The scope of work involves critical maintenance and preservation tasks, including load testing helicopter power supplies, cleaning and inspecting aviation fuel service tanks, calibrating fuel flow meters, preserving helicopter operating area decks, repairing flight deck lights, and renewing counter measure washdown nozzles. The government will award the contract using a best value tradeoff process, where technical capability and experience are considered more important than past performance, and these non-price factors combined are significantly more important than price. Technical evaluations will focus on the contractor's approach, project planning, quality control, and preservation strategies, while experience requirements mandate a history of conducting major repairs on DoD or USCG surface vessels. Proposals must be submitted in English and U.S. dollars via email, organized into four distinct volumes: technical capability, experience, past performance, and the price schedule. The solicitation includes various regulatory requirements, such as Buy American-Supplies, compliance with the Miller Act for payment bond protection, and the necessity for personnel to hold active U.S. Government security clearances. Payments will be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform based on stages of completion, with a 10% holdback until all deliverables are accepted.
