About this opportunity
The Air Force Special Operations Command's 1st Special Operations Support Squadron is procuring refurbishment services and marine components to restore two 38-foot SAFE Boat Full Cabin vessels to mission-capable status for coastal operations. The solicitation includes the purchase, delivery, and installation of propulsion engines, engine management systems, navigation and communication equipment, power generators, sponsons, searchlights, and LED lighting systems, with brand-name Mercury and Garmin products specified in the requirements. Contractors must provide installation services at their US facility and conduct sea trials to validate functionality, with all work completed within 180 days from contract award per USCG/ABYC standards. The government will evaluate submissions using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, where technical acceptability and past performance are considered more important than or equal to price. All quotes are due by 3:00 PM EST on September 15, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to specified government email addresses.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) with a size standard of 1,300 employees, and the solicitation documents confirm there is no incumbent contractor as this represents a brand new contract. Non-small businesses may only participate through an approved SBA Mentor-Protege Agreement, ensuring small business participation in this procurement. The refurbishment work involves two specific SAFE boats identified by hull numbers EGO01787L212 and EGO01791E313, which are currently stored on trailers and will require pickup and redelivery services. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility with final delivery to Hurlburt Field, Florida, where the 1st Special Operations Wing is located. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide comprehensive financial and company information along with their technical proposals.
