Sea Ranger II and Ocean Ranger Haul Out, NPS-CHIS

The National Park Service Pacific West Region is seeking a small business contractor to perform comprehensive haul-out and maintenance services for two marine vessels at Channel Islands National Park in Ventura County, California. The solicitation (RFQ No. 140P8425Q0009) covers maintenance work for the Sea Ranger II (58' fiberglass boat) and Ocean Ranger (100' aluminum boat), including haul-out, pressure washing, bottom painting, propeller replacement, and potential additional repairs such as hull scratch fixes, fuel inlet leak repairs, and mechanical work. Evaluation criteria will include price, relevant marine vessel maintenance experience, key personnel qualifications, project schedule, and past performance history. Quotations are due by May 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time, with electronic submissions required to the contract specialist Rocio Gomez Macias. The government will assess contractors based on their ability to perform specialized marine maintenance services following industry standards and American Bureau of Shipping rules.

The solicitation is a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses can submit responsive quotations. The contract period of performance is scheduled from June 16, 2025, to August 15, 2025, with an anticipated duration of 3 weeks for the Sea Ranger II and 6-8 weeks for the Ocean Ranger. Only one vessel may be out of water at a time, and the work must be completed at a contractor's facility located within 50 miles of Park Headquarters. The government will provide specific materials like primer, paint, propellers, shaft seals, and bearings, while the contractor will be responsible for labor and technical execution. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the solicitation includes multiple base and optional line items for various maintenance and repair services, suggesting potential flexibility in total contract value. The project involves detailed technical work including welding, mechanical repairs, painting, and potential additional services to be determined after an out-of-water vessel inspection.
