  • Monitoring shipyard performance against the contract requirements and reporting production status and metrics to the Government.
  • Providing technical expertise and guidance to the shipyards.
  • Performing configuration management of the vessel/infrastructure design across multiple build yards.
  • Negotiating pricing for Long Lead Time and Economic Ordering Quantity materials.
  • Managing construction risks and issues.

The Government anticipates awarding a multiple award task order contract (MATOC). The resulting contract will have a five-year base period and one (1) five-year option period. Individual task orders issued will be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP). The projected award value is $2B.


INFORMATION REQUESTED


Interested firms are requested to provide the following information:

Include similar experience where a client provides requirements/design and a compliant vessel is delivered to the client.

  • Technical Expertise: Description of your technical expertise and resources related to vessel construction, including experience with build-to-print vessel production.
  • Management Approach: Outline of your vessel construction management approach, including organizational structure, communication protocols, and quality control processes.
  • Past Performance: Provide details of at least three (3) relevant past performance projects, including client references and contact information that are specific to vessel construction management.
  • Schedule: Provide details regarding planned timelines from receipt of a potential task order award to award of a production-ready design and production contract to a shipyard/builder, including discussion of approaches the Government might pursue to expedite timelines and decrease costs.
  • Small Business Status (if applicable): Indicate your company's size and socio-economic status (e.g. Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, etc.) and any relevant certifications.
  • Perceived Risk: Identify any concerns or areas of risk.

USCG - Response Boat, Small Third Generation (RB-S III)
Solicitation # USCG-RB-S-III-2026
The United States Coast Guard is seeking a contractor to design, build, test, and deliver the Response Boat, Small Third Generation (RB-S III) to replace the aging 29-foot RB-S II fleet. This small business set-aside acquisition involves the procurement of up to 400 boats for the USCG and 100 modified variants for other federal agencies. The contractor will be responsible for providing the vessels, trailers, full logistics and supply support, technical documentation, and configuration management. The RB-S III is intended for diverse missions, including search and rescue, migrant interdiction, and law enforcement. The government intends to award up to four Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a ten-year ordering period, consisting of a five-year base and a five-year option. The acquisition follows a two-phase methodology: Phase I involves the award of the IDIQ contracts based on technical and conceptual designs, and Phase II requires each awardee to build a demonstration vessel for an in-water evaluation. Ultimately, one contractor will be selected for the remaining production orders. The contracts will utilize Firm-Fixed-Price and Fixed-Price with Economic Price Adjustment line items. Solicitation is expected by the end of Fiscal Year 2026, with awards anticipated in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2027.
