About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking comprehensive drydock and repair services for the NOAA Ship HENRY B. BIGELOW, with a pre-solicitation notice indicating a forthcoming solicitation on or about May 29, 2025. The contract will cover a 5-year drydock repair period spanning 97 days from February 28, 2026 through November 24, 2025, and will include critical ship maintenance services such as routine inspections, bilge system testing, insulation and deck coating repairs, steel repairs, and utility vessel maintenance tasks. Potential contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and possess a Unique Entity ID to be considered eligible. The solicitation will require detailed technical proposals addressing base work items and optional work elements like IVMC upgrades, CCTV system renewal, and various technical system maintenance and improvements. Responses are expected to be submitted by approximately June 26, 2025, with the contract to be performed at the contractor's facility.
The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses can compete for this opportunity within the Ship Building and Repairing NAICS category (336611). While specific award value ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the required services suggests a potentially significant contract value given the extensive repair and maintenance scope. The contract encompasses both mandatory base work items and optional enhancements, providing potential contractors flexibility in their technical and pricing approaches. The place of performance will be at the contractor's facility, and the contract will involve complex marine vessel maintenance and repair services for a critical NOAA research vessel. Key optional work elements include potential upgrades to CCTV systems, gyroscope systems, hi fog systems, marine sanitation devices, HVAC repairs, and winch maintenance, which offer additional potential value and technical complexity to the solicitation.
