The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is seeking contractors to perform the annual haul-out of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary vessel named Hawksbill. This procurement falls under ship building and repairing services, specifically involving maintenance, repair, and rebuild operations for ships and small craft. The solicitation was posted on August 11, 2025, with proposals due by August 22, 2025, providing potential contractors with an eleven-day response window. The contract will be evaluated based on standard federal procurement criteria, though specific evaluation factors are not detailed in the available information. This represents a routine annual maintenance requirement for a sanctuary vessel that supports marine conservation operations in the Florida Keys.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business enterprises. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the solicitation details. The contract award value and specific budget parameters are not disclosed in the available documentation. The scope appears to involve a single vessel haul-out service, suggesting this is a focused maintenance project rather than a fleet-wide operation. While the exact place of performance is not specified, the nature of the work involving a Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary vessel suggests operations will likely occur at a marine facility capable of handling sanctuary vessels in the Florida Keys region.
