LD5 Anchor Bar Refurbishment

Solicitation W912ES26QA100 is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for the mechanical refurbishment and reconditioning of eight government-owned anchor bar assemblies for the US Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District. The scope of work involves the disassembly of seized components using controlled thermal and mechanical methods, cleaning, degreasing, non-destructive testing (NDT), dimensional inspection, and the application of marine-grade coatings and anti-corrosive treatments. All refurbished units must be delivered to Lock and Dam 5 by January 15, 2027. The procurement is a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement under NAICS 811310, utilizing a conditional split-CLIN structure where CLIN 0001 covers teardown and inspection for all units, while CLIN 0002 for final build and reassembly is only funded for units that pass NDT inspection and receive a Proceed to Build authorization from the Contracting Officer's Representative. The government will award the contract based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. Critical technical requirements include a strict thermal limit of 400 degrees Fahrenheit during component separation, verified by continuous IR gun monitoring, and NDT inspections performed by personnel certified to ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level II or III standards. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes via the PIEE suite by September 30, 2026. Key deliverables include the refurbished assemblies, formal NDT reports, and permanent serial marking on long eye-bars. The contractor is responsible for all round-trip transport logistics from the storage yard near Buffalo City, Wisconsin, to the delivery site in Minnesota City, Minnesota.
