Solicitation # USCG-RB-S-III-2026

The United States Coast Guard is seeking a contractor to design, build, test, and deliver the Response Boat, Small Third Generation (RB-S III) to replace the aging 29-foot RB-S II fleet. This small business set-aside acquisition involves the procurement of up to 400 boats for the USCG and 100 modified variants for other federal agencies.

AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify existing or adaptable vessel designs that meet the operational needs of the Special Purpose Craft – Ice Rescue Transport (SPC-IRT II) Second Generation. The vessel is designed as a multi-mission platform capable of operating across water, ice, and land environments, primarily for Search and Rescue, Living Marine Resources enforcement, and other law enforcement missions in the Great Lakes region. The craft must independently traverse at least 1,000 yards over grass, dirt, snow, or ice without hull damage, and be able to transition from land to water or ice at up to a 20-degree angle while carrying six personnel (220 lbs each) without bow plunge, and withstand ice compression ridges and drops from 2-foot ice shelves into water. It must function reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°F to 115°F, endure saltwater and ice exposure, and meet structural integrity standards including low center of gravity and anti-capsize features. Performance requirements include a minimum speed of 15 knots in 6-inch seas, stopping within 100 feet on snow-covered ice, and five hours of endurance at optimal speed with a 10% fuel reserve. The vessel must integrate SINS-2 navigation, AIS-2, VHF DSC radio, and comply with ABYC T-24 and H-8 standards, ASTM F1166 human factors, and FCC communications regulations. Response providers are asked to confirm if their designs are currently in use by any government agency, their production capacity, delivery timelines for two units before November 2026, warranty terms, company size and socioeconomic status, and rough order of magnitude pricing. Extensive technical documentation must be provided including fullCAD drawings, a Boat Information Book, master equipment list, recommended spare parts list, special tools list, 150-hour maintenance requirements, and engine diagnostic software licenses with dongles. All equipment must be housed in watertight, corrosion-proof cases, and the vessel must display the USCG stripe and emblem on air rudders. Responses must be submitted via a specified Excel spreadsheet to the designated point of contact by the May 26, 2026 deadline, and the effort is strictly for market research without obligation to award a contract. The solicitation is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336612, with no formal

Special Purpose Craft – Ice Rescue Transport (SPC-IRT II) Second Generation

Request for Information (RFI)

Synopsis: This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to identify existing or readily adaptable designs that meet USCG operational needs. Responses to this RFI will be used to refine requirements prior to issue of a Request for Quotation (RFQ).

The Special Purpose Craft – Ice Rescue Transport (SPC-IRT II) is a multi-mission boat primarily intended for conducting missions in environments requiring the boat to transit over water, ice, and or level areas of land, to transit in the vicinity of the Great Lakes to conduct Search and Rescue (SAR), Living Marine Resources (LMR), and Other Law Enforcement (OLE) missions.

A preliminary specification outlining the requirements for the SPC-IRT II is attached.

This RFI seeks information regarding the following:

1. Do you have a boat that you manufacture that meets the preliminary requirements or a design that could be modified to meet the requirements? If so, please provide information on the design and any boats that you have built to this design (specification sheets, drawings, photographs, production information, etc.).

2. Do you have a boat that meets the preliminary requirements or a design that is currently under contract with any state, local, or federal government agency?

3. Can this boat independently traverse over grass, dirt, snow, or ice for at least 1,000 yards without hull damage?

4. Can this boat enter/depart water from land at angles up to 20 degrees (bow up), traversing 2-ft ice compression ridges, and dropping from a 2-ft ice shelf into soft water with 6 people (at 220 lbs. per person) onboard without plunging the bow?

5. What is a reasonable time frame for you to build and deliver two boats?

6. How soon would you need a contract in order to deliver two boats prior to the end of November 2026?

7. What is your production rate? (One boat every 3 months? One boat every 6 months?)

8. What do you typically provide as logistics information: CAD models, drawings, equipment and part information, user manuals, specific or unique maintenance needs, etc.?

9. If you do not typically provide this logistics information are you able to provide it?

10. What are your warranty terms?

11. What is the size of your company and socio-economic status?

12. What is the rough order of magnitude (ROM) price of your current craft?

13. Please provide comments on the draft specification. Are there requirements in the draft specification that you cannot meet, you feel are excessive, or drive you to a less capable boat.

Responses to this RFI shall be submitted to William.E.Lewis3@uscg.mil. Please fill in responses to the following questions in the attached excel spreadsheet.

This special notice is for market research and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract from responses to this announcement.
