About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is seeking contractors to perform comprehensive drydock repairs on the NOAA Ship Ferdinand Hassler through a five-year contract designated as FY26. This procurement falls under NAICS code 336611 for Ship Building and Repairing and encompasses extensive vessel maintenance including hull coating, valve renewals, engine overhauls, and safety equipment inspections. Recent amendments to the solicitation clarify that all valves 2 inches and under must be renewed rather than overhauled, the final hull coating will be AF/AC applied to the entire underwater hull and boot topping, and Work Item 58301 has been corrected to require inspection and testing of 15 MUSTANG immersion suits by an original equipment manufacturer authorized facility. Technical specifications indicate the vessel's draft at last dry-docking was 3.14m (11'-8") and include specific engine serial numbers for major overhauls. The solicitation was originally posted on May 23, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of June 25, 2025, and has been amended multiple times with the most recent amendments dated June 16, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The solicitation does not specify the contract value or identify any incumbent contractors, though the five-year duration suggests a substantial long-term maintenance commitment. The scope includes major mechanical work such as PORT SSDG Major Overhaul with engine serial number C9J00506, along with comprehensive hull maintenance requiring dry grit blasting of the stern tube and application of specialized anti-fouling coatings. The contract will involve inspection and testing of critical safety equipment including immersion suits, with work requiring compliance with original equipment manufacturer standards and inspection criteria. Performance location details are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, though the contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, suggesting potential East Coast performance requirements.
