About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a small business contractor to perform comprehensive engine overhauls for the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada. Specifically, the solicitation requires performing 20,000-hour major overhauls on two Caterpillar 3512B engines and 9,000-hour top-end overhauls on two Caterpillar 3508B Ship Service Diesel Generators. The contract opportunity, identified by the solicitation number 86f7e93aa2a24a7d90b15bcb74a6c7bc, was posted on May 19, 2025, with proposals due by June 6, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, contractors will likely be assessed on technical capability, experience with marine diesel engine maintenance, and compliance with marine equipment repair standards. The opportunity falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 333618 for Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing.
This contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only qualifying small businesses can compete for the opportunity. The project involves complex marine diesel engine maintenance services categorized under Product Service Code J020 for maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of ship and marine equipment. While specific award value is not disclosed, the technical complexity of overhauling multiple marine diesel generators suggests a substantial contract value. The work will be performed on the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada, indicating the place of performance is likely a marine vessel maintenance facility or shipyard. The contract requires extensive technical expertise in marine diesel engine repair, with precise specifications for both 3512B and 3508B Caterpillar engines, including 20,000-hour and 9,000-hour overhaul requirements.
