Dockside(DS): USCGC seneca AA FY26

The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting dockside repairs and maintenance services for the USCGC SENECA (WMEC 906), a medium endurance cutter, through a Request for Quote issued by the Department of Homeland Security. The scope of work encompasses ten distinct maintenance and repair tasks including aviation fuel tank inspection and preservation, power supply testing, windspeed transmitter replacement, helicopter deck preservation, deck plating renewal, and flight deck roller bar replacement, all requiring adherence to rigorous Coast Guard technical specifications and quality control protocols. Offerors must demonstrate experience with Department of Defense or U.S. Coast Guard vessel repairs and submit technical capability documentation (15-page limit), past performance information (3-page limit), and a detailed price schedule. The evaluation will prioritize technical capability and past performance significantly more than price. Key deadlines include a site visit completion requirement of October 20, 2025, a questions deadline of October 23, 2025, and a proposal due date of November 3, 2025; an amendment posted October 24, 2025, included questions and answers addressing welding requirements and material specifications but did not extend the receipt deadline.

This is a total small business set-aside contract with a specific designation for women-owned small businesses (WOSB), restricting competition to qualifying small business entities. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price award with a performance period from February 23, 2026, to March 24, 2026. While the solicitation documents reference labor rates of 474 hours and a material markup/handling fee of $18,271.00, the complete contract value is not explicitly stated in the available documentation. The work will be performed at Portsmouth, Virginia 23703, where the USCGC SENECA is located during its dockside availability. Prospective contractors must acknowledge receipt of all amendments prior to proposal submission and comply with detailed technical requirements including weld procedure specifications, welding certifications, non-destructive testing standards per NAVSEA Technical Publications, and comprehensive documentation of coating preservation and quality control plans.
