NOAA West Dockside Repair 2015-2016

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) West Dockside Repair Master IDIQ contract provides comprehensive repair and maintenance services for NOAA's west coast-based marine vessels. The contract requires contractors to furnish all necessary labor, materials, and resources to complete dockside repair services, including thorough inspections and detailed reporting. The master contract, awarded on June 30, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $9,000,000, enables NOAA to rapidly procure critical repair and maintenance work for its marine fleet through streamlined task order mechanisms.

Task orders under this IDIQ primarily focus on specific vessel repair projects, with values ranging from minimal minimum guarantee orders of $2,500 to substantial repair projects exceeding $2 million. Key task orders include dockside repairs for vessels such as the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada, Ronald H. Brown, Reuben Lasker, Fairweather, and Oscar Dyson. Most task orders were not set aside for small businesses, though one order for Reuben Lasker repairs was designated as a total small business opportunity. The repairs typically have completion dates within the same fiscal year as the award, with most task orders ranging from several months to a year in duration. The task orders consistently used firm fixed price pricing, providing cost predictability for NOAA's marine operations support.
