About this forecast

The U.S. Coast Guard is forecasting a recompete for the manufacture and delivery of steel foam-filled river buoys for its Waterway Operations Product Line, with solicitation release estimated for June 16, 2027 and award estimated for September 16, 2027. The buoys support Aids to Navigation units nationwide under Title 14 of the United States Code, and about three-quarters of river buoys deployed on station are replaced annually because collisions, weather, and wear destroy them, so the requirement is for replacement buoys in large numbers. The set-aside is to be determined, and the forecast is classified under NAICS 332312, Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing.

The estimated award value range is $20 million to $50 million, with estimated performance running from September 16, 2027 through September 15, 2032. Place of performance is Perryville, Missouri. The LOG-95 Base Procurement and Contracting Division is the contracting office for the Waterway Operations Product Line requirements office, and Thomas Porzillo, (206) 820-5568, thomas.porzillo@uscg.mil, is the primary point of contact, with Jackie Dickson, (571) 607-2302, jackie.a.dickson@uscg.mil, listed as the small business coordinator.

The existing award is single-award indefinite delivery contract 70Z08422DWOPL0003, a total small business set-aside awarded September 16, 2022, with a ceiling of $35,961,926.90 and an ultimate completion date of September 15, 2027, with the fourth option period in exercise. The contract covers foam-filled unlighted steel river buoys, with an estimated annual requirement of 6,000 to 8,000 buoys, and the incumbent is H & G Marine Service Inc., though the forecast lists the contractor as H&G Marine Services, LLC.

Forecast text

This requirement is for the manufacture and delivery of steel foamfilled

river buoys for United States Coast Guard (USCG) Waterway Operations

Product Line (WOPL) used by Aids to Navigation (ATON) units across the United

States. Title 14 of the United States Code authorizes the USCG to maintain

ATON buoys to guide mariners in the navigable waters of the United States. The

type of buoy that is specifically used in the rivers of the Midwest is known as a

"river buoy." River buoys are continually lost or destroyed on station through

collisions with passing vessels, extreme weather conditions, or simply through

wear and tear in the harsh marine environment. These buoys must therefore be

replaced in large numbers. On average, about three-quarters of all river buoys

deployed on station are replaced annually. There is a need to establish a

contract for the manufacture and delivery of river buoys to meet the USCG's

operational requirements for these aids.
