Ship Management and Training Support for USCGC STORISThe United States Coast Guard is seeking information from qualified sources regarding the provision of comprehensive ship management, maintenance, crew services, training, and logistics support for the USCGC Storis, a government-owned, ice-capable vessel being reactivated for integration into the Coast Guard fleet as part of the Commercially Available Polar Icebreaker program. The vessel will be critical to Arctic and other maritime operations, supporting national security objectives and environmental stewardship under a government-owned, contractor-operated model. The Coast Guard is exploring various contract structures, potentially combining firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, and cost-reimbursement elements to ensure cost control, flexibility, and performance incentives. The USCGC Storis will operate primarily from Seattle, Washington, in challenging and remote environments requiring high system reliability and maintainability. The reactivation program aims to ensure vessel readiness, regulatory compliance, and successful training and transition of a Coast Guard crew to independently operate the cutter under official command. The anticipated base performance period for services is from mid-November 2026 to the end of March 2027, with possible follow-on extensions based on mission needs. This solicitation is a Request for Information meant solely for planning and market research, not a contract offer or solicitation, and no contract will be awarded directly from this notice.
