The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $42,140 firm fixed-price purchase order to Great Lakes Towing Co., doing business as Great Lakes Shipyard, for temporary berthing space for the USGS research vessel "Muskie" in Cleveland, Ohio. The contract is set aside for small businesses and has a base period from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, with two one-year option periods potentially extending it through February 29, 2028. The solicitation required a contractor to provide berthing space with specific technical requirements like 4-foot under-keel clearance and 240V single-phase 100-amp shore power. Great Lakes Shipyard, a small business manufacturer specializing in vessel maintenance, repair, and maritime services, will deliver the requested berthing services to support the USGS's research operations on Lake Erie.
