AI Contract Overview
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking qualified vendors with proven experience, appropriate resources, and capabilities to provide shipbreaking services for the disposal of a 210-foot Medium Endurance Cutter located at Curtis Creek in Baltimore, Maryland. This ship has been declared excess by the USCG, and interested firms are invited to respond to a sources sought notice to help the Government determine potential contractors for this work. Respondents must provide detailed information about their business size and classification, certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned status, as well as their access to or ownership of facilities capable of scrapping such a vessel on the U.S. East Coast. The government also requests information on past shipbreaking experience, including details about previous vessels scrapped, whether for government or commercial customers. This is a preliminary step to gauge industry capabilities and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of contract award. The USCG has included draft shipbreaking specifications for feedback, and firms must submit their responses, including answers to a set of specific questions and any relevant company literature, to the designated Contracting Officer by May 5, 2026. All responses will aid the USCG in making informed decisions for any forthcoming solicitations, which will be separately announced on SAM.gov. Responding to this notice is not an offer or a request to be included on any future proposal list, and no reimbursement of associated costs will be provided. Questions and responses should be directed to the Contracting Officer, Nichol Fitzpatrick.
