About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive drydock repair services for the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer during Fiscal Year 2026. The solicitation encompasses over 50 specific work items including hull preservation, underwater equipment maintenance, propulsion system overhauls, cathodic protection, fire safety systems servicing, lifting appliance certifications, and scientific equipment preservation. The contract requires extensive technical expertise in maritime vessel maintenance, with work to be performed under direct oversight of NOAA technical representatives and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) surveyors. Evaluation criteria include technical capability, past performance, and price reasonableness, with quoters required to provide past performance information for up to three relevant contracts performed within the last three years. The solicitation response deadline is July 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, with the inquiry period having been extended to July 9, 2025.
This solicitation has no set-aside designation and is an unrestricted acquisition open to all qualified contractors. The contract period of performance runs from December 1, 2025, to March 7, 2026, providing a focused timeframe for the drydock maintenance activities. The pricing structure includes both ORF (Ocean Research Fleet) and PAC (Pacific) base items, with provisions for growth items including 2,400 hours of ORF growth labor and 2,000 hours of PAC growth labor, plus an optional 14-day post-industrial berthing period. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the extensive scope of work involving major ship systems overhaul and the provision of government-furnished property valued at approximately $226,980 suggests a substantial investment. The work will be performed in the United States, with the vessel currently requiring access to specialized drydock facilities capable of handling the research vessel's unique scientific equipment and operational requirements.
