USCGC HOLLYHOCK (WLB 214) Buoy Tender FY26 Unplanned Drydock Availability

The USCGC HOLLYHOCK (WLB 214), a 225-foot buoy tender homeported in Honolulu, Hawaii, is scheduled for an unplanned drydock availability in fiscal year 2026 to address critical maintenance needs. This availability will require the vessel to be drydocked for essential repairs and preservation work, including a comprehensive overhaul of the main reduction gear and preservation efforts focused on the buoy deck to ensure operational readiness and structural integrity. The work is necessary to maintain the vessel’s ability to perform its mission-critical functions in the Pacific region. This procurement is forecasted under the NAICS code 336611 for ship building and repairing, and is set aside for small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration. The United States Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, is the contracting agency, with Robert Stankovich serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and Laura Lugo designated as the Small Business Specialist and APFS Coordinator. The solicitation is not yet active, and the place of performance details remain unspecified, but work will likely occur at a qualified shipyard capable of handling Coast Guard cutter maintenance requirements.
