About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting quotations for unplanned dry dock repairs and upgrades to the USCGC BEAR (WMEC-270A), a 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter. The primary work involves repair and full preservation of three ballast tanks, drydocking and undocking operations, and provision of temporary services including electrical power, potable water, and heavy lift equipment access. Key requirements include 500 ultrasonic thickness measurements, approximately 50-80 square feet of steel plating renewal, manhole ring and ladder replacement, high-pressure underwater hull cleaning, and complete preservation coatings applied per SFLC Standard Specification 6310 with SSPC-QP 1 or NACE CIP Level 3 certification. Evaluation criteria emphasize non-price factors significantly more than price, with assessment based on technical capability, experience, past performance, and cost considerations. The solicitation deadline has been extended to April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, with the Period of Performance extended from the original August 9, 2026 to August 15, 2026, and ship checks available through April 1, 2026.
This acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside, specifically designated for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) vendors only. No incumbent contractor information is identified in the solicitation materials. The contract is structured on a firm fixed-price basis with a blank pricing schedule that includes definite line items for ballast tank repair, drydocking services, and temporary cutter services; the estimated value is not explicitly stated but includes an estimated 1,044 labor hours for growth work plus material markup fees. A 10 percent withholding of the total contract price applies until all deliverables are received and accepted. Shipyards must be located within 50 miles of Portsmouth, Virginia, where the vessel is currently operational, and prospective quoters must maintain Ship Repairer's Liability and Comprehensive General Liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence. The work is scheduled to occur during an unplanned availability from July 20 through August 15, 2026, with all repairs to be performed at a commercial contractor facility in or near Portsmouth, Virginia.
