2 Background
2.1 The Coast Guard established the Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) Program to replace the capability provided by the Inland Tender Fleet. The fleet provides the Coast Guard with the capability necessary to execute and support statutory and federally mandated missions in Inland Waterways and Western Rivers (IW&WR) of the United States which fall into three main categories: (1) construction and maintenance of fixed aids; (2) positioning and maintenance of floating Federal Aids to Navigation; and (3) repositioning, replacement, or removal of river buoys based on changes in water level and river conditions.
2.2 The River Buoy Tender (WLR), Inland Construction Tender (WLIC), and Inland Buoy Tender (WLI) cutter variants will require cutter boats to enhance the cutters’ ability to conduct aids to navigation (ATON) operations, search and rescue (SAR)/self-rescue operations, and personnel transfers. The boats will be deployed from the cutters to provide for autonomous operations and mission execution in areas where it is either physically impossible or dangerous for the cutter to navigate.
3 Scope
The Coast Guard intends to procure cutter boats, including trailers, delivery, spares and training.
