The United States Coast Guard, a civilian agency within the Department of Homeland Security, has awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to UMS Metal Fabricators Inc., a small business manufacturer, for the fabrication and delivery of steel ocean buoys, buoy parts, towers, and related maritime signaling equipment. The $29.8 million IDC, designated as a 100% small business set-aside, has a five-year period of performance from August 2023 to August 2028. Under this contract, the Coast Guard can issue delivery orders as needed to procure these critical maritime safety and security products from UMS Metal Fabricators, a subsidiary of Universal Marine Services Inc. The company has already received multiple fixed-price delivery orders against this IDC, ranging from $51,000 to $756,000, for the supply of steel ocean buoys and associated components. This contract vehicle allows the Coast Guard to efficiently acquire maritime signaling equipment to support its aids to navigation program and broader missions across U.S. waterways.
In addition to the IDC, UMS Metal Fabricators has received numerous other delivery order contracts from the Coast Guard to provide steel ocean buoys, buoy parts, towers, and lighting systems. These fixed-price and firm-fixed-price awards, valued from $40,000 to over $2 million, demonstrate the company's role as a critical supplier of maritime signaling equipment to the agency. The work under these contracts is performed at UMS Metal Fabricators' facilities in Mobile, Alabama, supporting local manufacturing and the Coast Guard's operations in the region.
