About this opportunity

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking to procure ionomer foam buoys through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for waterway aids to navigation. The solicitation requires manufacturers to fabricate various types and sizes of foam buoys including 8x22, 6x16, 5x9, and multiple class configurations (2nd through 6th class) in both lighted and unlighted variants. Contractors must demonstrate manufacturing capability, quality control processes, and provide detailed technical approaches for buoy production using specific ionomer resins like Surlyn or Iotek. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing manufacturing approach/capability, quality control, and past performance. Amendment 0002 has extended the proposal due date to August 7, 2025, and all amendments must be acknowledged with the offer submission. The contract structure includes firm-fixed-price delivery orders subject to Economic Price Adjustment for steel and diesel fuel components.

This unrestricted solicitation contains no set-aside designations and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The contract will span a base period of 12 months plus four additional one-year option periods, totaling up to 60 months of performance. Delivery orders will range from individual buoys to lots of up to 200 buoys per shipment, with delivery timelines varying from 60 to 240 calendar days depending on order size. Performance will occur across the United States with deliveries to 49 specific Coast Guard locations spanning from Maine to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico, including various Sector offices, Aids to Navigation Teams, and Coast Guard bases. The contract includes provisions for customer pickup options and covers transportation in accordance with specified delivery terms, with all deliveries scheduled Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM local time.
