AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard is advancing its Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) program to replace its aging fleet of 13 Inland Construction Tenders and 18 River Buoy Tenders with two new mono-hull ship variants that share a common after-body design. The draft specification, available by request through the federal business opportunities portal and subject to change, outlines these vessel designs and includes project-specific documents and drawings. Although unclassified, access to the draft requires explicit approval from the Coast Guard contracting officer. The program aims to modernize its fleet capabilities to better support inland waterway operations. To engage potential shipbuilders and design firms, the USCG plans to conduct one-on-one meetings at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans in December 2019, with additional options for phone or in-person meetings in Washington, DC, for those unable to attend. These meetings are limited to shipyards with design capabilities or design teams partnered with shipyards. The WCC program will also host an informational booth and a presentation detailing the mission needs, project status, and deployment schedule. Contact points for the contract include James Ferguson as the Contracting Officer and Rhonda Rachelle Duncan as the Contract Specialist, both based in Washington, DC, under the Department of Homeland Security. Further details and updates can be found on the program’s official Coast Guard acquisition website.

Full Description

This special notice is issued for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) program office. General questions may be directed to wcc@uscg.mil. DRAFT SPECIFICATION: In continuance of its plan to replace the capabilities of 13 Inland Construction Tenders (WLIC) and 18 River Buoy Tenders (WLR), the USCG is releasing a draft specification with drawings and project peculiar documents (PPD). All of the above are current versions and subject to change. The draft specification is for two mono-hull ship variants with a common after-body as the materiel solutions to replace the WLIC and WLR. While the draft specification is unclassified, parties interested in viewing it must request explicit access via the Federal Business Opportunities web site. The USCG Contracting Officer will decide all requests for access. MEETINGS WITH SHIPBUILDERS AND SHIP DESIGNERS: The WCC Program plans to attend the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans, LA December 4-6, 2019. USCG representatives will take this opportunity to meet one-on-one with shipbuilder and ship design teams (i.e., shipyards with design capability or ship designers teamed with shipyards). To request a meeting during the International WorkBoat Show, click on the link below or copy and paste it into your internet browser. The deadline to request a meeting is November 11, 2019. https://einvitations.afit.edu/inv/anim.cfm?i=472262&k=0666400B7D55 Shipbuilder and ship design teams not able to meet during the International WorkBoat Show may request a phone conference or meeting in Washington, DC by emailing wcc@uscg.mil. Because of resource constraints, the USCG will meet one-on-one only with shipyards with design capability or ship designers teamed with shipyards. The WCC program will also staff a booth during the International WorkBoat Show and will provide information about its mission needs, status, and desired fielding schedule during a presentation on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. CT. The presentation will include time for questions. All information provided in the presentation (including questions and answers) and booth handouts will be made available on the program's website: https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9/Programs/Surface-Programs/WCC/
