About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Wilmington is seeking dockage services for the Multi-Purpose Vessel (MPV) Brandy Station, a 174-foot Landing Craft Utility vessel, while its main propulsion diesel engines undergo rebuilding. The contractor must provide safe dockage within 40 nautical miles of Houma, Louisiana for up to six months, with the location serving as a safe harbor of refuge that eliminates the need for vessel relocation during severe weather events like hurricanes. The dockage facility must include safe vehicle access and parking for assigned crew members to perform routine maintenance and repairs on the vessel. An optional line item for daily 240V shore power may be included in the contract. The solicitation requires questions to be submitted by 4:00 PM ET on September 8, 2025, with quotes due by 2:00 PM ET on September 19, 2025, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer.
This procurement operates under NAICS code 488330 with a $47 million size standard and is designated as a small business set-aside, though the initial description indicates no set-aside is used. The vessel specifications include a 42-foot beam, 8-9 foot draft, and 350 short ton capacity, requiring specialized dockage accommodations for these dimensions. The contract period spans six months from the award date, with a firm-fixed price structure and wage determinations based on the contractor's place of performance location. Performance will occur in Houma, Louisiana, with invoicing and technical coordination managed through the Technical Point of Contact Scott Aiken in Wilmington, North Carolina. The resulting award will be a single contract covering the base dockage services with the optional shore power component available as a separate line item.
