About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking contractors to perform drydock repairs on the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster as part of a five-year maintenance cycle for fiscal year 2026. This procurement falls under the Ship Building and Repairing industry classification (NAICS 336611) and involves transport vessel maintenance services. The solicitation was posted on June 26, 2025, with proposals due by July 17, 2025, providing interested contractors with a relatively short response window of approximately three weeks. The contract opportunity represents routine but essential maintenance work to keep the research vessel operational and seaworthy. The solicitation notice does not specify evaluation criteria, though such drydock repair contracts typically focus on technical capability, past performance, and price competitiveness.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for the contract. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values, which is common for initial procurement announcements. No details are provided regarding the scope of repairs, duration of the drydock period, or specific technical requirements that would indicate the magnitude of work involved. The place of performance is not specified in the available information, though such work would typically occur at a certified shipyard facility capable of handling NOAA research vessels. The five-year drydock designation suggests this is a major maintenance period that likely involves hull inspection, propulsion system overhaul, and other comprehensive repairs necessary for continued vessel certification.
