USCGC manowar drydock repairs

The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting quotations for comprehensive drydock repair and maintenance services for the USCGC MANOWAR (WPB-87330), a patrol boat requiring standard recurring maintenance during a 63-day availability scheduled from June 17, 2026 through August 19, 2026. Work includes hull preservation using specialized coatings, tank cleaning and inspection, propulsion system component renewal, electrical system upgrades, and structural repairs to metal and aluminum portions of the vessel. The Coast Guard will evaluate quotations based primarily on technical capability and past performance (both designated as significantly more important factors), followed by price using a best value tradeoff analysis. Offerors must demonstrate expertise in ship repair operations, provide detailed technical submissions addressing coatings certification, welding certifications, dry dock operations, and fire safety planning, and submit up to three past performance references from contracts completed within the past three years. The deadline for submission questions was February 20, 2026, site visits should have been completed by February 13, 2026, and the proposal due date has been extended to March 4, 2026 at 11:30 AM following a February 23, 2026 amendment to the solicitation.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 100 percent preference, limiting competition to eligible small business entities. The estimated performance period spans 63 days from June 17 through August 19, 2026, with work consisting of 47 definite line items covering hull preservation, structural repairs, system modifications, and equipment renewals, supplemented by provisions for over and above growth work at quoted hourly labor rates plus material markup fees. The current evaluated quote total is $2,199.12 based on foreseeable costs, primarily consisting of family separation allowances for eight personnel, though the actual contract value will depend on quoters' pricing of the 47 definite services and any growth work performed. The work must be performed at the contractor's facility, which must be accessible from a navigable waterway with a minimum water depth of 12 feet and 55-foot height clearance. The contractor must maintain Ship Repairer's Liability and Comprehensive General Liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act coverage, and state workers' compensation insurance.
