Dry-Dock: USCG STA CAPE MAY (45665) FY27 UWB

The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Force Logistics Center has issued a Sources Sought Notice under solicitation number 7040Z04026SSBPL8141 to identify capable contractors for FY27 Under Water Body dry dock repairs for the USCG STA CAPE MAY (45665). This market research effort seeks to identify sources under NAICS code 336611, Ship Building and Repairing, with a size standard of 1,300 employees. The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract for an estimated 30-calendar-day period of performance. All work must be conducted at the contractor's dry dock facility, and while the vessel has geographical restrictions within 320 nautical miles of its assigned station in Cape May, New Jersey, contractors outside this range are not automatically disqualified. The scope of work includes providing all necessary facilities, materials, equipment, and personnel for dry dock repairs, specifically highlighting preservation tasks for the underwater body, water jet drive, fender faying surfaces, and lazarette bilge. Interested parties must submit their responses by September 27, 2026, including company identification, UEI number, business size certifications, and evidence of past performance on similar projects. Future award considerations will include economic factors such as crane rentals, ground transportation, and crew-related costs, as well as the technical approach and verification of small business status.
