MORRO BAY #2 MDE CSO FY26

The United States Coast Guard is preparing for the center section overhaul of the #2 Main Diesel Engine aboard the 140-foot ice-breaking tug USCGC Morro Bay (WTGB 106), homeported in Cleveland, Ohio. This maintenance action is mandated by the original equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and the USCG’s planned maintenance schedule to ensure the Fairbanks Morse engine continues to operate at peak efficiency and to extend its operational lifespan. The work involves a comprehensive inspection, repair, and replacement of critical components within the engine’s center section to maintain mission readiness for the vessel’s ice-breaking and rescue duties in challenging environments. The procurement is forecasted under NAICS code 336611 for ship and boat building and repair, and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security through the United States Coast Guard. Point of contact for inquiries is Chase Randall, with Jason Taylor as the alternate, and Laura Lugo serving as the Small Business Specialist. The place of performance is clearly designated as Cleveland, Ohio, where the vessel is based and where the overhaul will be conducted to minimize disruption to the cutter’s operational schedule. No set-aside type has been specified, and the solicitation is still in the forecasting phase with no official solicitation number yet assigned.
