Solicitation 140G0226R0020 is a request for proposals issued by the U.S. Geological Survey for the annual haulout maintenance and repair of the Research Vessel Sturgeon. This small business set-aside contract requires the services of a shipyard located within the Great Lakes basin to perform a comprehensive scope of work from November 10, 2026, through April 15, 2027. Key deliverables include hull inspections, cleaning and coating of tanks and voids, propulsion system maintenance, and the installation of hydrophones. The project also includes optional tasks such as the overhaul of main engines and gears and the painting of engine room bilges. All work must comply with USCG, ABS, and USGS regulations, specifically including an ABS Special Survey to maintain the vessel's load line certificate. The government will award the contract based on best overall value, prioritizing technical approach, experience, and past performance over price. Under Amendment 0004, the government agreed to a modification regarding the ABS Load Line survey, allowing the contractor to handle any additional requirements determined by the ABS Surveyor through a Condition Found Report. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing via the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform and a strict proposal submission format consisting of separate files for technical, experience, and pricing volumes. Technical specifications are supported by detailed installation drawings for hydrophones and anchor handling arrangements to ensure operational and safety standards are met.
