FY26 Shoalhunter Dry Dock Maintenance and Repairs

The contract for FY26 Shoalhunter Dry Dock Maintenance and Repairs is a small business set-aside solicitation under FAR 19.5, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, W071 Endist Seattle, with a solicitation number of W912DW26QA084 and a response deadline of July 28, 2026. Work must be performed at a contractor facility within 300 nautical miles of the vessel’s homeport, with the primary performance location tied to the KO CONTRACTING DIVISION in Seattle, Washington, and the work period spanning from July 27 to August 28, 2026. The scope includes comprehensive minor maintenance, repair, retrofitting, and finish upgrades for vessels, encompassing hull cleaning, painting, anode replacement, engine alignment, and bilge cleanup, all requiring strict adherence to USACE EM 385-1-1 safety standards and industry-specific marine and automotive painting standards. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, with all labor, materials, and equipment the responsibility of the contractor, and deliverables requiring a submitted Quality Control Plan prior to work commencement and a completed Summary of Work Performed including photographic documentation upon completion. All work must meet a zero-deviation standard, verified through weekly inspections conducted by the Government’s Quality Assurance Representative. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside, requiring offerors to self-certify as small businesses and affirm their socioeconomic status, including eligibility for VOSB, SDVOSB, SDB, WOSB, EDWOSB, or HUBZone designations. Offerors must also comply with a comprehensive set of FAR and DFAR clauses covering contractor ethics, whistleblower protections, supply chain security restrictions (including prohibitions on ByteDance, Kaspersky, and certain Chinese-origin equipment), cybersecurity safeguards for Covered Defense Information, labor standards, and reporting requirements for executive compensation and subcontract awards.
