About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking husbandry services for NOAA ships operating at the Port of Charleston, South Carolina through this Request for Quotation (RFQ) solicitation number 1333MK25Q0164. The required services include moorage/dockage/berth/pier space, parking for three vehicles, two Yokohama fenders for port side tie-up, line handling services in and out, a 20-yard dumpster with emptying as needed, potable water, and husbanding agent services. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement based on best value criteria considering experience/past performance and price factors. Vendors must provide itemized quote breakdowns for each service component and are required to submit SAM registration, references, detailed pricing, and complete all representations and certifications. The original solicitation deadline was September 24, 2025, but Amendment 0001 extended this deadline with details available on SAM.gov.
This opportunity was initially designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations) with a $47 million size standard, specifically targeting Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns. However, Amendment 0001 dissolved the small business set-aside and reposted the opportunity as unrestricted under full and open competition. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with services expected to be utilized for approximately four days per port visit. The contract includes optional services such as forklift operations, bilge water removal, shore power, sewage pump-off, tug services, and pilotage, with the government paying only for actual usage rather than standby services. Performance will occur at the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, supporting NOAA ships up to 209 feet in length conducting scientific missions in the South East Atlantic.
