Drydock: USCGC petrel dry dock availability FY2026

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking quotations for drydock repairs and maintenance of the USCGC PETREL (WPB-87350), a Coast Guard 87-foot patrol boat. The comprehensive scope of work encompasses 45 distinct service line items including hull preservation, propulsion system renewal, electrical system upgrades, equipment replacements, and technical inspections scheduled to maintain operational readiness and extend the vessel's service life. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability in areas such as project planning, coatings certification, structural and electrical experience, welding certifications, and past performance on major repairs for USCG and Department of Defense surface vessels, with experience specifically on USCG and DoD surface vessels being required. The government will evaluate quotations based on three primary factors: technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical capability and past performance being significantly more important than price. The solicitation closes on December 8, 2025, with the last day for submitting questions being December 1, 2025, and site visits or ship checks required to be completed by November 21, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns and is structured as a firm fixed-price contract with no incumbent identified. The drydock availability will take place over a 91-day period from March 17, 2026 through June 16, 2026 in San Diego, California, with the contractor required to provide a facility accessible from navigable waterway with minimum 18-foot water depth and 75-foot height clearance. The contractor must furnish temporary services, support sea trials, and ensure comprehensive documentation and quality control, while the government will supply various equipment and components for installation including propellers, rudder assemblies, alternators, and intrusion detection system components. The solicitation includes a Foreseeable Cost Worksheet detailing potential additional expenses such as transportation, per diem, crew separation allowances, and travel costs, with an estimated 636 hours of potential over-and-above growth work labor identified. Quoters must be certified through the Joint Certification Program to access export-controlled documentation and must submit detailed technical capability submissions and past performance references demonstrating equivalent experience on comparable vessel repair projects.
