DRYDOCK: USCGC HADDOCK DD FY2027

The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting bids for drydock repairs to the USCGC HADDOCK (WPB-87) under a Firm Fixed Price contract set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS Code 336611, with a performance period from November 3, 2026, to February 2, 2027. The procurement, issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ 70Z08026QPBPL0039), requires contractors to perform a comprehensive range of vessel repairs including renewing the transducer fairing per specific Coast Guard drawings, maintaining the sea water system by renewing valves and inspecting steel riser pipes, cleaning the grey water piping, modifying the boat winch foundation with stainless steel inserts, and supporting sea trials. All work must comply with SFLC Standard Specifications 0000, 6310, and 5550, along with CFR 1915 Subpart P fire safety requirements, and contractors must submit redline drawings reflecting discrepancies and QA inspection forms for critical-coated surfaces. The contract includes specific insurance mandates—Ship Repairer’s Liability, Comprehensive General Liability, Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Act, and Workers’ Compensation—all at minimum coverage levels and requiring explicit naming of the vessel and contract number. Contractors must identify key personnel per SFLC Std Spec 8634, submit a fire safety plan if using their own facility, and provide detailed documentation of past performance and technical capability demonstrating experience with DoD and USCG surface vessel repairs. The evaluation process prioritizes technical capability and past performance as significantly more important than price, with price considered only as a tiebreaker when proposals are substantially equal. Proposed labor and material rates for open and inspect repairs will be used during future change negotiations. The total evaluated price is calculated by summing all CLINs in the submitted schedule, and unit prices must be in U.S. dollars; blank or non-dollar quotes are unacceptable. Payment is contingent on Government acceptance and must be submitted via the Invoice Processing Platform, with compliance to the Prompt Payment Act. Amendments 0001 through 0004 are integral to the solicitation. Submission requires a signed cover letter on company letterhead, UEI and CAGE code, EFT information if applicable, and a formal statement affirming agreement with all solicitation terms. Offers must be received via email by the deadline and remain firm
