MARITIME SECURITY CUTTER LARGE (WMSL) 418' PROPULSION (SSN: 70Z08525WMSLSHAFT Amended)

The contract solicits a firm fixed price refurbishment service for the propulsion shafts used on the United States Coast Guard’s 418-foot Maritime Security Cutter Large (WMSL) fleet. Specifically, the work includes the receipt, inspection, testing, overhaul, refurbishment, preservation, packaging, and marking of these propulsion shafts, which are critical components manufactured originally by Rolls-Royce Marine North America. This requirement is designated as a sole source contract, restricting offers to the original equipment manufacturer due to proprietary manufacturing and specialized technical standards involved in the shafts’ maintenance. The refurbishment supports a rotatable pool of propulsion shafts for ten WMSL cutters during scheduled drydock availabilities, ensuring operational readiness and longevity of the cutters’ propulsion systems. The solicitation, managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Surface Forces Logistics Center, is based in Alameda, California, with offer submissions originally due in October 2025 and extended through December 19, 2025, to accommodate potential offerors. The contract scope is governed by detailed specifications aligned with military, government, and NAVSEA standards, and includes comprehensive instructions on packaging and handling of government-furnished property. In addition to technical requirements, the contract incorporates evaluation factors, past performance questionnaires, and independent government cost estimates that reflect repair pricing at approximately 65% of the replacement cost, including appropriate inflation adjustments over a multi-year period. The contract emphasizes compliance with established quality and preservation standards to ensure refurbished shafts meet stringent maritime operational requirements.
