The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a purchase order to Mako Pacific Divers LLC, a small disadvantaged business, on September 28, 2026, for commercial dive services to repair the starboard fin stabilizer on the USCGC Vincent Danz, with a ceiling value of $15,400.00. The order is a total small business set-aside issued under FAR 13 simplified acquisition procedures on a firm-fixed-price basis.
Work is performed at Naval Base Guam, Santa Rita, Guam, and spans September 28 through October 21, 2026. The scope includes certified commercial dive labor to install rigging, free a seized fin stabilizer, return it to zero degrees, calibrate the tiller, perform quality assurance checks, and observe post-repair testing. Work is expected to require two consecutive eight-hour days once onsite operations commence. The RFQ was originally posted September 16, 2026, due September 25, 2026, and was reopened via Amendment #1 to allow re-evaluation of pricing after the Government determined initial submissions did not establish price reasonableness.
