About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, intends to solicit services to overhaul the survey vessel H.R. SPIES, with a response deadline of August 25, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside.
Work encompasses all engineering, design, labor, services, equipment, parts, and materials required to execute the overhaul on the 68-foot-6-inch aluminum-hull vessel (25-foot-10-inch beam, 4-foot-8-inch draft, 92,000-pound maximum weight). The contractor must haul the vessel out of water and place it on blocks within 24 hours of arrival at the shipyard to facilitate a joint docking inspection. Blocks must provide a minimum of 48 inches clearance under the keel to permit the Surveys Branch to perform system calibration with the transducer fully deployed and to prevent vessel movement during the work period. The period of performance is a maximum of 49 calendar days from date of award to contract completion if all options are exercised.
Facilities must be located along the Delaware River and Bay and its tributaries; the vessel currently operates in that region during FY26. Prior to award, the contractor must enter into a Mastership Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (governed by DFARS Subpart 252.217-71), unless a prior agreement with the contractor exists and is used.
