The core scope of work includes haulout and launching, hull and topside cleaning and inspection, underwater hull surface preparation and coating, jet drive servicing, freeboard coating, and collar fendering repairs, with supplemental labor hours (up to 200 hours) and materials ($30,000 not-to-exceed) available as needed. Contractors must submit technical documentation including a Gantt chart schedule, subcontractor listings, technical approach narrative (maximum 6 pages), key personnel resumes, welder qualifications, dry-dock certification, docking plan, and past performance documentation from similar work completed within the past three years. Award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis to responsible small business contractors, with the anticipated 65-day drydock window commencing no later than June 2, 2026. Responses are due April 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM PDT, with an anticipated award date of May 15, 2026, and a mandatory site visit scheduled for April 10, 2026, with non-attendance construed as full understanding of all requirements.

The contract will be administered by MARAD's Division of Pacific Operations in Oakland, California, with performance to be completed at the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in Benicia, California, though all work must occur in the San Francisco Bay area, including upriver areas of Sacramento and Stockton, as the vessel is not deep-seaworthy.
