The U.S. Coast Guard's Surface Forces Logistics Center wants a small business shipyard to do underwater-body (hull) repainting and related repairs on two 49-foot Coast Guard boats, USCG ANT Saginaw River (49422) and USCG ANT Detroit (49424). All work is done onsite at their home pier at 110 Mt Elliott Ave, Detroit, MI. One firm-fixed-price contract will be awarded for both boats; work windows are January 4 to February 12, 2027 and February 22 to March 29, 2027.
Watch out for
- Drawings and JCP rules are confusing and the request date has passed. The amendment says proposals will not be accepted from firms that are not JCP-registered or did not request drawings, and the stated request deadline was September 22, 2026, which is before this notice was posted; ask the Contract Specialist right away whether it still applies.
The last day to request drawings regarding this solicitation is
- Amendment contradicts itself on JCP proof. A00002 removes proof of JCP certification from the required documents, yet the same amendment still says JCP registration is a must to bid; the attachments disagree.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS No. 11. Proof of JCP Certification is removed.
- Planning document must be in the proposal. A graphical schedule with critical paths, float, and written commitments from technical reps is required up front, and leaving it out may make your offer unresponsive.
Proposals that do not include a planning document may be considered unresponsive.
- Winter work in Detroit needs a custom shelter and containment. Work runs January to March, coating rules set temperature and humidity limits, and you must build a large shelter and containment; no square footages are listed in the spec to help price it.
The Contractor must provide a temporary shelter to fully enclose the 49 BUSL
- Slow cash flow. You cannot invoice a line item until it is 25 percent done, and 10 percent of the price is held until all deliverables are accepted.
An item/CLIN may not be invoiced until the percentage complete reaches 25 percent.
- Coating quality control and certified inspectors. Surfaces count as critical-coated surfaces, which need qualified (QP-1/AMPP) coating inspectors, tech reps, multiple QA forms and Critical Inspection Reports within the first 25% of the job.
- Extra work priced at one composite hourly rate. A single labor rate covers wages, overhead, supervision, profit and support functions for any added work, so a low rate can cost you on changes.
The composite labor rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the prime contractor's direct labor hours for
