Description of the supplies or services required, the estimated price/cost, and required delivery date or period of performance.

Assault Craft Unit TWO (ACU- 2) requires towing and docking services for the 2026 Hurricane Season for the following Landing Craft Utility (LCU)-1643, 1644 and 1664

Period of Performance: Contract Award Date – 30 November 2026

Estimated Total: $285,363.31

In conclusion, the requested supplies or services represent the minimum requirements of the government.

Describe in detail why only this source(s) can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

LCUs are 135' long, 30' wide and weigh approximately 200 Ltons empty. This requires a drydock, 250T marine travel lift or marine railway to lift them. The contract will also require the contractor to set aside sufficient capacity for the duration of the hurricane season, which may require turning down other tasking.

FAIRLEAD has travel lifts and sufficient laydown area to accommodate (4) LCUs simultaneously on a short notice. No other local shipyard has a Travel Lift with sufficient lift capacity. All the yards with marine railways or drydocks will not obligate their capacity without a substantial return in tasking.

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.
