The contract facilitates a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for the procurement of 12-meter boats, associated spare parts, training programs, prime movers, and Field Service Representatives to support U.S. Southern Command’s foreign military sales initiatives across multiple nations. The effort is led by the United States Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security and focuses on enhancing maritime capabilities for partner countries through reliable, sustainment-ready equipment and embedded technical support. The procurement includes not only the vessels but also the logistical and technical infrastructure necessary to ensure long-term operational readiness, with Field Service Representatives providing on-site maintenance and training to build local capacity. This acquisition is specifically designated for small business participation, reflecting a commitment to leveraging specialized domestic vendors with expertise in small vessel manufacturing and defense support services. The place of performance is Washington D.C., with the point of contact for procurement inquiries being Devin Fitzpatrick, while Mark Solomon serves as the Small Business Specialist to assist eligible vendors. Although the solicitation number and posted date are not available, the NAICS code 336612 confirms the focus on ship and boat building, and the structure anticipates recurring orders over the five-year term to meet evolving operational needs under SOUTHCOM’s security cooperation mission.
