This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition under 10 U.S.C. § 3205 for a U.S. Coast Guard unplanned drydock maintenance and repair requirement.

The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking unplanned drydock maintenance and repairs for the USCGC HOLLYHOCK for Fiscal Year 2027, with an anticipated performance period of November 3, 2026 through February 2, 2027. The solicitation number is 70Z08526QIBCT0036. The requirement is limited to competition within 225 nautical miles of the vessel's homeport in Honolulu, Hawaii, based on a Military Considerations (MILCON) memo. Two qualified vendors have been identified: Pacific Shipyards International, LLC (located 2.7 nautical miles from homeport) and Marisco Limited (located 16.9 nautical miles from homeport). The contract type is a single-year Indefinite Delivery Requirements Contract (IDR) with Firm-Fixed Price Delivery Orders, funded through Operations and Support funds. The work includes inspection, cleaning, and corrective maintenance of the reduction gear system, drydock support, mechanical repair, and system restoration to return the propulsion system to full operational capability. A third vendor, BHPE LLC, was contacted but determined incapable of meeting geographic requirements. The rationale for limiting competition to Hawaii is based on the vessel's degraded reduction gear condition, which prevents safe long-distance transit and creates unacceptable crew safety, machinery protection, and mission readiness risks. The Contracting Officer has determined pricing will be fair and reasonable based on competitive quotations, with estimated total value redacted in the document. An AFFS Sources Sought notice was published December 1, 2025 and revised March 2, 2026, posted on SAM.gov from December 30, 2025 through January 4, 2026. The justification was signed April 15, 2025 and approved by the Procurement Activity Advocate for Competition on September 22, 2026.
