Overhaul - Barrier Boat

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is conducting market research under solicitation number N3904026Q5666 to identify qualified small business vendors capable of performing a comprehensive overhaul of barrier boat 30BB0701, a vessel approximately 30 feet in length. This sources-sought notice, posted on June 26, 2026, with responses due by July 14, 2026, is strictly for planning purposes and does not initiate a formal procurement or obligate government funds. The effort is set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5, targeting NAICS code 336611 for ship and boat building. The draft statement of work outlines an extensive scope covering seventeen specialized attachments, including hull inspection and preservation, propulsion system upgrades, fuel and sea water system maintenance, electrical system upgrades, steering and fire suppression system certification, and a required four-hour sea trial. Work will occur at both the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, and the contractor’s facility, with performance capped at three months from vessel delivery. All personnel must be U.S. citizens, and access to the NAVSEA-controlled industrial area requires strict vetting, including submission of personal identifiers, two forms of ID with proof of citizenship, and completion of SECNAV 5512/1 forms to obtain a DBIDS credential. Contractors are required to provide fully burdened hourly labor rates for senior technicians, technicians, and assistants, along with per-mile travel charges beyond 30 miles from PNSY and fixed quotes for shipping returned items. Material costs must be billed at actual cost with no added handling fees, overhead, or profit; any trade-in or residual value from replaced parts must be returned to the government and reflected in adjusted invoices. Monthly cost reporting is mandatory, and cost overruns require prior written approval. All work must adhere to strict quality standards, including SSPC-SP 11 surface preparation, a black anti-fouling top coat with zero allowable defects, and absolute watertight integrity below the waterline with no leakage permitted. Acceptance inspections must validate full functionality of all systems prior to sea trials, with contractors responsible for documenting test data, making corrections, and conducting additional trials if discrepancies arise. Vehicles used on site must display contractor logos on both sides with a minimum two-inch font, be properly registered and inspected, and may only be used for equipment delivery, not personnel transport.
