About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Charleston, South Carolina, operating under the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking comprehensive haulout and yard maintenance services for their 65-foot aluminum vessel M/V "Blair." The procurement encompasses dry-docking services, hull cleaning and painting, zinc anode replacement, propeller and shaft work, rudder maintenance, wheelhouse repairs including window tinting, and up to 150 ultrasonic density shots of the hull for inspection purposes. Contractors must operate a dry dock facility within 250 miles of FLETC in North Charleston to facilitate government oversight and ensure Coast Guard compliance standards are met throughout the maintenance process. The evaluation will be conducted using a "Technically Acceptable Lowest Priced" methodology with past performance as a secondary factor, as outlined in FAR 52.212-2. The solicitation was issued on August 24, 2025, with a pre-proposal conference and site visit conducted on September 4, 2025, and proposals due by 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on September 11, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), restricting participation to qualified small business contractors only. The vessel weighs 69,000 pounds and requires marine industry standard maintenance practices, with the contractor responsible for acquiring and disposing of all expendable items, replacement parts, and potentially hazardous materials during the maintenance process. Based on the pre-proposal attendance sheet, companies such as Stearns Towing and Sherwin Williams have expressed interest in the opportunity. Performance will take place at the selected contractor's dry dock facility, which must be within the 250-mile radius requirement from the FLETC Charleston location. The solicitation includes detailed technical drawings of the vessel and specific requirements for comprehensive sea trials to verify all systems are functional upon completion of maintenance activities.
