This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611, restricted to small businesses as defined by the SBA, and will be awarded on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis as a firm-fixed-price contract. The scope of work, governed by Specification REV-0 dated January 28, 2026, and revised on June 11, 2026, includes a comprehensive list of ship repair tasks such as ultrasonic testing of 100 shots, hull plating and accessible space inspections, welding, diesel fuel tank cleaning, renewal of hatches, sea valves, anodes, hoses, and water jet components, preservation of underwater hull and bilges, marine chemist services, electrical isolation prior to welding, and support for sea trials. Temporary services including one desk and chair, one phone line with internet connectivity, and one parking space for the Port Engineer are also required. Work must be performed at a facility in Marathon, Florida, meeting stringent site requirements including a minimum water depth of 7 feet with two additional feet below minimum at the pier, and a vertical clearance of 25 feet, accessible at all tide states and times day or night. The contract period of performance runs from July 6, 2026, to October 5, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Janet M. Delaney at Janet.M.Delaney@uscg.mil with the solicitation number in the subject line and include a completed and signed SF-1449, an Excel spreadsheet detailing costs for each CLIN, a past performance questionnaire, and small business self-certification. Contractors must request drawings through the Contract Specialist or risk disqualification. Evaluation is governed by pass/fail gates: technical acceptability must meet all minimum specifications—including submission of a written confirmation of compliance with drawings and standards—and past performance ratings must be at least "Satisfactory" per CPARs or the PPQ; failure in either disqualifies the offer.
