Things to watch (10)
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Serious: Set-aside stated two ways. SAM.gov and the solicitation say total small business set-aside, but the notice text also says it is full and open competition; ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Serious: Current ABR or MSRA needed. A bidder needs a Navy ship repair agreement or proof it applied and the application was received; the Navy declined to remove the requirement.
- Serious: Shipyard must be in the Puget Sound area. The facility must be between Olympia and Bellingham and able to dock a 90-foot tug, so a firm without such a yard needs a partner.
Show all 10Show fewer
- Serious: Property management plan required with the quote. A quote without a plan for protecting Government property may be dropped from consideration.
- Worth checking: Hazardous waste pricing risk is on the contractor. About 144,000 lb of blast media and paint chips may carry heavy metals, all waste must be tested, and the Navy puts the price risk on the contractor.
- Worth checking: Growth work is capped. Unplanned repair work under the growth line is limited to 4,713 man-hours and $35,970.34 in materials, so more growth needs a separate contract change.
- Worth checking: First drydocking and no condition reports. The Navy has no past docking, hull ultrasonic or tank reports, so hull condition is unknown when pricing.
- Worth checking: Fixed vessel availability window. Work must fit between March 2, 2027 and May 27, 2027.
- Minor: Shore power and temporary heat in the fixed price. The metered electricity and temporary heat in freezing weather are part of the contractor's price.
- Minor: Payments held back and financing needs security. A 5% retention is held until completion, and contract financing is unavailable without adequate security under FAR 32.202-4.
