Drydock repairs for the CGC patoka

The U.S. Coast Guard seeks drydock repairs for the cutter USCGC PATOKA (WLB 203), a 225-foot buoy tender, under a Total Small Business set-aside, with questions due December 21 at 2:00 p.m. EST and quotations due January 4, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The solicitation is an indefinite delivery requirement under NAICS 336611 and PSC J998.

The vessel is homeported in Greenville, Mississippi, and offerors must identify the exact shipyard location. Foreseeable government costs, including vessel transit at $66 per nautical mile from the homeport and crew family separation allowance, are added to the quoted price for evaluation only. The approximate performance period runs April 13, 2027 through June 22, 2027, with anticipated award January 18, 2027.

Work includes hull plating inspection and ultrasonic testing, propulsion shaft and bearing overhaul, rudder assembly service, tank cleaning and inspection, cathodic protection renewal, and sea trial support. Critical items, including hull testing, preservation, leak tests, tank inspections, and propulsion shaft and rudder work, must be completed within the first 25 percent of the contract period. The Government furnishes overhaul kits, replacement propellers, rudders, bearings, strainers, and watertight hatches. The contractor must establish an environmental manager position and coordinate with the Underwater Hull Inspection Board.

Technical submissions require a Gantt chart, three similar drydock repair contracts completed within the past five years, a ten-page maximum narrative covering performance risk, environmental mitigation, quality assurance, and surge capacity, certifications, proof of insurance, an anticipated subcontractor list, and drydock facility certification with pre-award calculations. The past performance form requires three relevant contracts completed within the last three years.

Evaluation uses three factors: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail), Past Performance (Pass/Fail), and Total Evaluated Price. Pricing uses the Attachment 1 pricing sheet, with lay day rates and hourly composite labor rates that serve as maximum rates for future task orders. Quotes remain valid for 120 days. Payment is by percentage of completion through the Invoice Processing Platform or MarkView, with a minimum 25 percent completion threshold before initial invoicing of each contract line item. No incumbent is named.
