Marine Vessels Maintenance, Repairs, and Supply of Parts Services

Hillsborough County Fleet Management Department is seeking competitive sealed bids for a one-year contract to provide marine vessels maintenance, repairs, and parts supply services. The procurement aims to establish contracts with multiple qualified contractors capable of delivering comprehensive marine equipment maintenance solutions. The solicitation (ITB-25-00360) specifically targets ongoing and as-needed services for marine vessels and related equipment. Potential vendors must demonstrate technical expertise in marine vessel maintenance and be prepared to submit comprehensive bid packages including an insurance certificate, drug-free workplace documentation, substitute W9 form, and direct deposit authorization. The bid is scheduled to be due on October 7, 2025, with an estimated project budget of $92,500.00. Interested contractors will need to carefully review the attached contract terms and conditions document to understand the full scope of requirements and expectations for service delivery.

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, contractors will need to complete standard compliance documentation including drug-free workplace certification and insurance requirements. The procurement appears open to qualified marine service providers with demonstrated technical capabilities in vessel maintenance and parts supply. The contract structure suggests multiple vendors may be selected, allowing Hillsborough County flexibility in service procurement. The relatively modest budget of $92,500.00 indicates this is likely a tactical, short-term procurement focused on maintaining the county's marine fleet assets. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their technical qualifications, service capabilities, and ability to meet the county's marine equipment maintenance needs. The contract term is specified as one year, with potential for renewal or re-solicitation based on performance and ongoing departmental requirements.
