About this file

This Statement of Work (SOW) details underwater hull cleaning and inspection requirements for the US Coast Guard Cutter TERRAPIN at the USCG Base in Ketchikan, Alaska. The contract is a total small business set-aside for a commercial item, with performance scheduled between 25 August 2025 and 12 September 2025. The contractor must provide a certified diving team to conduct a comprehensive underwater inspection and cleaning of vessel components including hull plating, shafts, transducers, propellers, rudders, sea chests, and other appendages, using specific fouling and paint deterioration rating systems to document vessel condition.

Key technical requirements include: providing a certified diver and support team, obtaining vessel crew clearance before diving, conducting pre-clean biofouling inspections, performing detailed hull component assessments, cleaning underwater surfaces without damaging coatings, and submitting video documentation of before and after conditions. The contractor must use hand-held brushes for transducer cleaning, follow specific safety protocols, and complete multiple detailed inspection forms documenting marine growth, paint condition, cathodic protection system status, and any observed hull damage. The solicitation is being processed as a firm-fixed price purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General.

3.1.1 CIR.

None.

3.1.2 Tech Rep.

Not Applicable.

3.1.3 Protective measures. The Contractor must furnish and install all protective measures in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.3 (Vessel component, space, and equipment protection).

3.1.4 Interferences. The Contractor must handle all interferences in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.5 (Interferences).

3.1.5 Dive notification. The Contractor must provide the Coast Guard Inspector 24 hours advance notice of when the diver inspection will occur. Before diving procedures commenced, meet with the Cutter EPO, to discuss diving safety requirements and the securing of cutter machinery, as applicable.

3.2 Pre-diving requirements.

3.2.1 The Contractor must, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.401-440, provide a certified diver and a tender team, as well as necessary support personnel and equipment, to accomplish the tasks specified herein.

WARNING

Mixed gas diving and live boating are not permitted.

3.2.2 The Contractor must ensure that the diving team must obtain clearance from the Officer-of-the-Deck (OOD) before beginning diving operations. Ensure the Coast Guard has capability for maintaining continuous two-way communication with diving personnel at all times, during the performance of this work item.

3.3 Inspection requirements. Using the drawings listed in Section 2 as guidance, the Contractor must perform the following inspections and fill out forms provided in Section 4.

3.3.1 Conduct a pre-clean biofouling inspection. Fill out Form 4-1, including fouler rating for each component (see Table 1 for fouler rating descriptions).

NOTE:

When completing the fouler rating, ensure that all (100%) of the area of the component/surface being inspected has a fouler rating. For example, if only 50% of the rudder has growth at a FR-20 rating, then there should be another rating on the rudder that is FR-0 rating over 50% of the area. All ratings should equal 100% of the area/component being inspected.

Table 1 - fouling ratings (Fr) in order of increasing severity

3.4 Cleaning requirements. The Contractor must employ suitable means to clean the U/W body surfaces free of all marine growth, debris, and all other surface contaminants as detected during biofouling inspection. The Contractor must ensure the following:

3.4.1 Ensure all transducer surfaces are cleaned with only hand held brushes, without the use of power attachments.

3.4.2 Ensure that existing u/w body coating system or non-coated surfaces do not incur any damage during cleaning process.

3.5 Additional documentation requirements. The Contractor must submit video highlights of underwater body surfaces (e.g. bow thruster, propellers, rudders, transducers, heavily fouled hull areas, etc.) before and after cleaning. Place linear measuring devices, as applicable, in the field of view when videotaping hull damages, to provide scale for these damages.

4. NOTES

4.1 Unit responsibilities. The ship's force will tag-out and secure the following:

· All propulsion machinery and shafting and all steering machinery whenever the diver is in the water.

· All underwater body transducers, including the sonar equipment, for the duration of the underwater hull cleaning operation.

· All active cathodic protection equipment for the duration of the hull cleaning operation.

· Each sea suction while the diver is inspecting the sea suction's sea chest strainer.
