Service and Maintenance of NOAA/PIFSC Small Boats Trailers Statement of Work Background The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) maintains a fleet of small boats to conduct research-related activities. Most of these research activities occur either from NOAA research vessels, contracted vessels, or in remote field stations at various locations in the Pacific basin (northwestern Hawaiian islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, etc.). PIFSC staff that operate boats in remote field areas often need more access to vendors for maintenance/repairs or parts. Therefore, maintenance and preparation of program boat trailers before deployment is vital to ensure the highest probability for continued operation and mission success. The PIFSC requires an external source(s) to provide maintenance, repair, and parts for various small boat trailers and related equipment used on and for government-owned small boats.

Requirements The contractor shall provide all labor, material, equipment, transportation, storage (if applicable), and support to conduct maintenance and repair for 10-15 trailers, which is estimated to be about 14 hours of work on trailers for PIFSC small boats. Additional maintenance and repair hours will be needed but are not expected to exceed 50 additional hours per year. The Government trailer inventory will fluctuate year to year as the Government purchases new trailers and retires/excess old trailers. On an annual basis, the Government sees a fluctuation of 1-3 trailers per year.

The contractor shall know and be able to troubleshoot/repair the small boat trailer framework, electrical systems, and wheels systems, including bearings and axle repair. The Government intends that any trailer that requires mx/repair be able to be submitted under this contract. The contractor proposal should include the following:

1. Description of the contractor’s capabilities and credentials

2. Name(s) of key personnel working under this contract and a summary of experience.

3. Narrative describing any assumptions or exceptions that the proposal was based on.

4. Let us know if you will be coming onsite for repairs or if you will need to have the trailers transported or you will pick up the trailers for repair at your shop.

Period of Performance This requirement will include one base period beginning 1 September 2024 and ending 31 August 2025, with four additional one-year option periods following the same schedule.

· Option Year 1: 1 September 2025 and ending 31 August 2026

· Option Year 2: 1 September 2026 and ending 31 August 2027

· Option Year 3: 1 September 2027 and ending 31 August 2028

· Option Year 4: 1 September 2028 and ending 31 August 2029

Place of Performance The ability to complete repair and maintenance work at the customer’s site, IRC Ford Island, at 1845 Wasp Boulevard. Building 176. Honolulu, HI 96818 is highly desirable; however, it is not mandatory.
