Rigging and Crane Services for Heavy Lifting

The contract seeks qualified small businesses to perform rigging and crane operations for the safe lifting and precise positioning of a cooling coil aboard the USCGC WAESCHE in Alameda, California. The work requires specialized expertise in heavy lifting under marine conditions, ensuring all safety protocols are strictly followed to protect personnel, equipment, and the vessel. The scope is limited to the physical handling and placement of the cooling coil, with full responsibility resting on the contractor to provide appropriate equipment, certified personnel, and operational planning for a successful and hazard-free execution. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238990, meaning only small business concerns can compete for the award, and the opportunity is managed by the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 under the Department of Homeland Security. Responses must be submitted by July 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time, and performance will occur at the designated location in Alameda, with a zip code of 94501. The contract type is a subcontract, suggesting it is part of a larger procurement effort, and the work is mission-critical for the maintenance and operational readiness of the USCGC WAESCHE.
