LCAC Corrosion Control Cleaning

The Fleet Logistics Center, San Diego is conducting a market survey to assess industry capability for a potential competitive acquisition of non-personal services to provide Corrosion Control Cleaning for Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vessels at Assault Craft Unit Five in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. The work involves annual deep cleaning of approximately 20 LCACs to prevent corrosion and maintain mission readiness, conducted Monday through Friday between 0700 and 1530, excluding holidays, using Government-furnished cleaning compounds while the contractor provides all personnel, tools, pressure washers, personal protective equipment, and ensures compliance with environmental, safety, and security regulations. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 561720 with a small business size standard of $22.0 million in annual receipts and is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the Government evaluating whether portions of the requirement can be reserved exclusively for small businesses based on responses. The anticipated contract will be Firm Fixed Price with a base period of one year and three one-year option periods, with an expected award date of July 6, 2026, and the Request for Proposal to be issued in June 2026. The contract requires contractors to submit no more than eight single-sided pages in Times New Roman 12-point font via email by May 22, 2026, detailing company information, DUNS number, and demonstrated experience with military watercraft corrosion control, including specific contract details such as agency, number, performance location, duration, and value. The Government does not require security clearances for personnel, but contractors must safeguard all Government property, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure no HAZMAT materials are used during operations. All work documentation and deliverables are Government property with unlimited rights, and invoicing will be processed exclusively through WAWF. No pricing information is included as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice, and no hard copy, fax, or in-person submissions will be accepted. The evaluation methodology for the future RFP has not been specified, though the Firm Fixed Price structure suggests a possible Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, with quality assurance, compliance with the LCAC Corrosion Control Manual and PMS MRCs, and demonstrated experience as key evaluation criteria.
