The United States Coast Guard is soliciting proposals for the Response Boat Small Third Generation (RB-S III) program to recapitalize its aging fleet of 29-foot RB-S II platforms. This total small business set-aside acquisition is a commercial Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract utilizing a combination of Firm-Fixed-Price and Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment CLINs.

The anticipated ordering period is ten years, consisting of a two-year base period and an eight-year option period. The procurement employs a two-phase competitive down-select process. In Phase I, the government will evaluate written proposals based on mission effectiveness, production and management, and price to select up to four IDIQ contractors. Each selected offeror will receive an initial delivery order to build one demonstrator boat and trailer. In Phase II, these contractors will participate in a 90-day in-water demonstration to evaluate performance. Following this independent evaluation, one contractor will be selected to receive all subsequent production delivery orders. Phase I proposals are due by 1400 Eastern Time on November 13, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the DoD Secure Access File Exchange.
