Marine Awning Fabrication and Replacement

The contract calls for the design, fabrication, and installation of custom marine-grade awnings on the USCGC PABLO VALENT, encompassing both structural framing and tensioned fabric systems engineered to withstand harsh maritime conditions. The work is classified as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA, and falls under the NAICS code 332322, which pertains to metal window and door manufacturing. The awnings must meet rigorous durability and performance standards appropriate for U.S. Coast Guard vessels, ensuring long-term resilience against saltwater exposure, UV degradation, and high winds. All components must be precisely tailored to the vessel’s dimensions and integration requirements. Performance of the work is required at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, with a firm deadline for responses set for August 5, 2026. The solicitation was posted on July 17, 2026, under the Department of Homeland Security, specifically through Base Elizabeth City, and is accessible via the SAM.gov portal. The project demands precision in materials selection, fabrication techniques, and on-site installation to ensure seamless compatibility with existing ship structures. Contractors must demonstrate experience in marine applications and compliance with federal vessel standards, as the delivered awnings will serve critical operational and crew comfort functions aboard a federally operated cutter.
