Drydock: USCGC hammerhead DD FY26

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive drydock maintenance and repairs for the USCGC HAMMERHEAD (WPB-87302), a Coast Guard patrol boat, with services including underwater hull preservation, equipment replacement, system inspections, and technical upgrades across 40 distinct work items. The solicitation was issued on December 5, 2025, with proposals due on December 29, 2025 at 3:00 PM, and two amendments were subsequently issued on December 16 and December 18, 2025 to clarify requirements and correct pricing data. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability and past performance in marine repair, including welding certifications, fire safety planning, and watertight closure assessments, as well as the ability to provide a facility accessible from a navigable waterway with minimum water depth of 10 feet 11 inches and minimum height clearance of 50.2 feet. The government has indicated that technical capability and past performance are significantly more important evaluation factors than price in determining contract award. Key dates include the original solicitation posting of December 5, 2025, with the final proposal deadline of December 29, 2025.

This solicitation is set aside 100 percent for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) with a size standard of 1,300 employees. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price award with a performance period from April 28, 2026 to June 30, 2026 (92 days), and the Schedule of Services includes 40 maintenance and repair line items with provisions for over-and-above growth work comprising 545 hours of labor. Government-furnished equipment valued at approximately $250,000 will be provided for installation and testing by the contractor. The work will be performed at a commercial contractor facility in Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts, and the contractor will be responsible for providing or obtaining a lifting cradle for the vessel, as the government will not furnish this equipment. While most line items in the pricing schedule are listed at $0.00, indicating contractor pricing is required, the solicitation anticipates detailed cost submissions for labor, materials, and foreseeable expenses such as transportation and crew-related costs.
