The specification outlines 19 work items to be performed during the performance period of June 2, 2027 through August 16, 2027, at the cutter's homeport. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting this pre-solicitation sources sought notice to identify potential contractors capable of executing these repair requirements.

Interested contractors must submit responses by October 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to Andrew Jacobs (Contracting Officer) at andrew.g.jacobs@uscg.mil and CWO Josh Smith at joshua.b.smith@uscg.mil, noting their business size and status (large business, small business, HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-owned, Women-Owned Small Business, etc.). Contractors without past performance evaluations in the Past Performance Information System Retrieval database should provide past performance references including contract numbers, project titles, dollar amounts, and points of contact with telephone numbers. Following the evaluation of responses, the Coast Guard will determine whether this requirement will be set aside or remain unrestricted, after which a request for quote will be posted on SAM.gov. HUBZone set-asides would require that at least 50 percent of personnel costs be spent on HUBZone small business employees.
