The contract requires a proven boat design, maximum 21 feet in length, with dual outboard motors capable of sustaining 25 knots and traveling 50-80 nautical miles. Proposals will be evaluated based on four factors: Technical Design, Management and Production Capability, Past Performance, and Total Evaluated Price. Key deadlines include questions due by January 24, 2025, and proposals due by March 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET.

The contract includes a 5-year base ordering period from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2030, with an optional two-year extension through July 31, 2032. The minimum guaranteed purchase involves design and prototype production of two CB-ATON-S boats, with potential future orders ranging from 8-12 boats per period. All boats must be built within the United States per 14 USC 665 and 10 USC 7309 restrictions. The primary delivery location is Birdon America, Inc. in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, with potential additional CONUS delivery locations. The boats must accommodate 6 personnel, operate in 3-foot seas, and have a 15-year service life, with the contractor required to provide comprehensive technical documentation, training, and warranty support.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is in the process of recapitalizing the current fleet of Waterways Commerce Cutters (WCC), which includes Inland Construction Tenders, Inland Buoy Tenders, and River Buoy Tenders. As part of this recapitalization effort, the USCG is also replacing the existing cutter boats deployed on these cutters and determined that there is a requirement for up to fifty-one (51) new cutter boat aids-to-navigation small (CB-ATON-S). The CB-ATON-S will primarily support the WCC’s aids to navigation (ATON) mission, providing autonomous operations and mission execution in areas physically inaccessible by a cutter and allowing for separate, simultaneous operations in collaboration with the cutter. The CB-ATON-S will also support secondary search and rescue and other law enforcement missions.
The USCG also intends to procure up to fifteen (15) CB-ATON-S for Aids to Navigation Teams to maintain small navigational aids within their area of responsibility.
In total, the Coast Guard intends to procure up to sixty-six (66) CB-ATON-S from this contract.
