Fleetwide Dockside and Ship Maintenance IDIQ

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established a multiple-award Master IDIQ on September 12, 2023, to perform dockside repairs on its fleet of vessels, with ordering authority extending through August 31, 2028. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $73.8 million and remains active with over two years of ordering window remaining.

The scope spans emergency and voyage repairs, field-season technical support, and miscellaneous shipboard mechanical, structural, hydraulic, and electrical work. Task orders show active repair work across NOAA's fleet, including named vessels such as the Oscar Elton Sette, Bell M. Shimada, Thomas Jefferson, Pisces, Fairweather, and Ferdinand Hassler. Awarded orders address welding, pipe fitting, crane services, hydraulic systems, marine electrical work, HVAC, sheet metal and ducting, machinists and metal fabrication, marine deck coverings, and quality assurance and testing.

The vehicle has generated strong ordering momentum. Thirty-seven task orders have been awarded since first award in November 2023, with annual issuance accelerating from one order in 2023 to 18 in 2024 and 16 in 2025; two orders have been placed in 2026 as of late June. Task-order potential value totals $45.2 million, with $43.3 million obligated (96% of combined potential), indicating the vehicle is heavily drawn down against the $73.8 million ceiling.

Fourteen distinct prime contractors hold awards, with concentration moderate at the top. Jag Alaska Inc. leads with six orders totaling $7.6 million in combined potential value. Vanport Marine, Inc., and G I Industrial-Marine, LLC follow with $4.5 million and $4.3 million respectively. Shaka Engineering Inc., Bluepoint Engineering LLC, and 3MC Mobile & Mechanical Repair LLC each hold four orders. Task-order values range from under $26,000 to over $2.8 million, with most falling in the $800,000 to $2.4 million range. Individual orders are typically firm-fixed-price, single-vessel or system-focused repairs with durations of two to four months.

All 37 task orders fund NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO). Small businesses hold 68 percent of awarded orders (25 small business set-aside, 12 unrestricted). The geographic footprint spans Alaska (Ketchikan, Seward), California (San Diego), Virginia (Norfolk), and other U.S. ports where NOAA vessels dock for seasonal repair periods. Most recent awards cluster in the latter half of 2025 and early 2026.
