The work encompasses a wide range of maintenance and inspection tasks including the renewal of slip-resistant deck coverings on the flight deck and hangars, inspection and testing of critical systems such as the oily water separator, fire detection system, incinerator, and cargo elevator, cleaning and inspection of multiple fuel, waste, and holding tanks, and the installation of a new tank level indicator for gray water tanks. Additional requirements include providing tenting for deckwork, fire prevention measures, temporary services for the cutter, welding services, and extensive non-destructive testing with 4,085 pit measurements and 9,340 ultrasonic thickness measurements to ensure substrate integrity. Clarifications issued via amendments confirm correct tank identification, specify the need for eleven epoxy fairing kits for bidding, and validate that the Price Schedule will be updated to align with the accurate specifications in Attachment 2. The contract is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type and is set aside entirely for small businesses under SBA regulations. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 13, 2026, with submissions limited to 10 MB per email and required to include a one-page cover letter and a ten-page technical planning document with a Gantt chart. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off approach, with Technical Capability being significantly more important than Past Performance, and both far outweighing Price in the decision-making process. The contractor must comply with stringent inspection and quality standards including SSPC-PA 2, ASTM D4417, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, and SFLC standards, and is required to adhere to environmental conditions during coating applications. Key personnel substitutions require prior approval, and the contract incorporates safeguards for controlled unclassified information and organizational conflict of interest provisions. All deliverables must be performed at the vessel’s location in North Charleston, SC, with acceptance taking place on-site, and invoicing will be processed through the USCG Finance Center in Chesapeake, VA.
