USCGC WILLIAM SPARLING DRYDOCK FY27

The U.S. Coast Guard, through the Surface Forces Logistics Center in Norfolk, Virginia, is conducting market research for the drydock repairs of the USCGC WILLIAM SPARLING (WPC-1154) under a Sources Sought Notice issued on May 20, 2026, with responses due by June 3, 2026. This is not a solicitation for proposals or quotations but a formal request for information to assess industry capability and interest in performing comprehensive drydock services at a performance location in Boston, Massachusetts, anticipated to occur between November 10, 2026, and March 9, 2027, over a period of 119 calendar days. The work encompasses all aspects of vessel maintenance including hull and structure inspections and preservation—such as hull plating, tanks, watertight closures, freeboard, weatherdecks, and underwater body—as well as mechanical and propulsion system repairs involving shafting, rudders, stabilizing fins, bow thrusters, ICCP and anti-fouling systems, and stern tube interiors. Electrical, HVAC, and louver damper assemblies are also within scope, requiring full contractor provision of facilities, equipment, materials, and personnel. Respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and, if claiming small business status, must provide documentation verifying small business size under NAICS code 336611. Those seeking specific socioeconomic designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOBC, VOSBC, EDWOSB, or Woman-Owned Small Business must submit supporting certification documents from the Small Business Administration or relevant federal agencies. Responses must include a statement confirming intent to submit a proposal as a prime contractor if the government proceeds with a formal solicitation, along with detailed past performance information including contract numbers, project titles, dollar values, and points of contact for previous similar work. Joint ventures must provide joint past performance data if applicable. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in submissions, and while no formal pricing or contract clauses are present at this stage, participation is restricted to entities capable of performing the full scope of drydock work described.
