About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive drydocking and repair services for the FB218 Deck Barge, a 110-foot steel hull vessel located in the James River Reserve Fleet. The solicitation requires a small business to conduct extensive hull repairs, including ultrasonic testing, deck hatch gasket replacement, rub-rail repairs, zinc anode renewal, and complete surface preparation and painting using specific Sherwin Williams marine coatings. Contractors must submit a technical submittal including a project schedule, subcontractor list, technical approach narrative, key personnel resumes, welder qualifications, and a proposed dry-docking plan. The evaluation will be based on technical acceptability, past performance, and pricing, with the award going to the lowest-price technically acceptable offeror. Quotes are due by April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with the solicitation posted on March 20, 2025.
The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611 with a small business size standard of 1,300 employees. The work will be performed at a contractor's facility within the Hampton Roads area, with an initial 60-day period of performance (later extended to 90 days) from June 5, 2025, to September 2, 2025. The project involves significant steel replacement, including approximately 200 pounds of underwater plate, 1800 pounds of main deck plate, and 1000 pounds of void frame steel, along with 48 sacrificial anodes. The contractor will be responsible for comprehensive surface preparation, including abrasive blasting and multi-layer painting with specific color requirements: dark red below the waterline, black on the freeboard, and deck gray on the main deck. The place of performance is specified as Fort Eustis, Newport News, VA 23604, with the work to be conducted according to strict regulatory requirements, including National Fire Protection Association standards and Department of Labor safety regulations.
