AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, is seeking a Firm-Fixed Price contract for the overhaul of two Caterpillar 3512 marine propulsion engines aboard the M/V William James, with all work to be performed at Vicksburg Harbor, Mississippi. This procurement is issued as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 336611, with a small business size standard of 1,300 employees, and follows FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial item acquisitions. Offers must be submitted electronically by the deadline of June 5, 2026, to Jeffrey Smith-Lyon, and must include a completed bidding schedule along with full compliance with the Statement of Work, which requires complete in-frame overhauls using either new OEM or Caterpillar-approved reconditioned parts, performed exclusively by Caterpillar-certified technicians. The evaluation is conducted on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, where technical capability—assessed through a pass/fail review of the proposed plan of action, parts list, and technician certifications—is a mandatory threshold; only technically successful offers are considered for award, with price reasonableness evaluated against government estimates. The contract includes standard FAR and DFARS clauses addressing subcontracting, payment by electronic funds transfer, inspection, compliance with cybersecurity requirements, prohibition of restricted equipment, and other federal contracting obligations, including the requirement for offerors to maintain a current Unique Entity Identifier and disclose CAGE codes if applicable. All performance must be completed by December 31, 2026, with delivery terms set at FOB Destination, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until the engines are accepted at the Vicksburg Harbor Supply Base. The Government retains full inspection and acceptance authority, and contractors must comply with DoD security protocols including NCIC-III and TSDB vetting for unescorted access, PIV compliance, and mandatory security training within 30 days of award with annual refresher requirements. Proposals must be submitted through ProjNet for questions and via email for bidding, with no oral or paper submissions accepted.
