About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking comprehensive ship repair and maintenance services for the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, with a planned contract period from December 1, 2025, through March 7, 2026. The solicitation covers a 97-day drydock repair project that includes extensive base work items such as an ABS Special Survey, ballast water treatment, bow thruster service, dock and sea trials, fire detection system upgrades, and multiple mechanical and electrical system repairs. The contract will be awarded as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) with an anticipated release date of June 6, 2025, and a response closing date of approximately July 7, 2025. NOAA will evaluate proposals based on best value, considering both pricing and non-price factors. The contracting office is located in Norfolk, Virginia, and the solicitation falls under the Ship Building and Repairing NAICS category (336611).
The pre-solicitation notice indicates an unrestricted set-aside, meaning all qualified vendors can compete for the contract. Optional work items include Safer at Seas Installation and EK60 Replacement, which may provide additional opportunities for contractors. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the repairs suggests a significant contract scope. The contract is categorized under Product Service Code 1910 for Transport Vessels, and the total service duration is 97 days, with work scheduled to be completed by March 7, 2026. An anticipated contract award is expected around August 5, 2025, giving potential bidders time to prepare detailed proposals that meet the technical and operational requirements for maintaining the Okeanos Explorer research vessel.
