Five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to acquire new boats, repair boats, buy spare parts, and overhaul old boats for the Colombia Coast Guard and Marines

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs under the Department of State has issued a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement targeting the acquisition, repair, overhaul, and spare parts procurement of boats for the Colombia Coast Guard and Marines. This agreement aims to enhance maritime operational capabilities through sustained support, including the procurement of new vessels and comprehensive maintenance of existing fleets. All activities will be performed in Bogotá, Colombia, with the contract structured to enable flexible ordering over the five-year period without a predefined total value or solicitation number, typical of a forecasted procurement. The NAICS code 336612 identifies this as a shipbuilding and repairing activity, emphasizing the technical nature of the work involved. Point of contact for general inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, reachable via email, while Tyler Sinclair serves as the Small Business Specialist to facilitate participation from small businesses. The agreement does not specify a set-aside type or organization type, indicating potential openness to a broad range of vendors. Although the posted date reflects a default system value, the context suggests the forecast aligns with fiscal year 2026 planning. The contract supports U.S. foreign policy objectives by strengthening Colombia’s maritime law enforcement capacity, with an emphasis on durable, reliable vessel systems and responsive logistical support.
