The U.S. Coast Guard (Surface Forces Logistics Center) wants a shipyard to do drydock repairs on a 55-foot aluminum Coast Guard boat (USCG 55107, Station Puget Sound) between 16 Feb 2027 and 16 Jul 2027. It is a total small business set-aside, a firm-fixed-price award to one winner, picked on lowest price among technically acceptable quotes. Quotes are due by email on 05 Nov 2026 at 2:00 pm Eastern.
Watch out for
- Drawings and JCP certification needed to bid. You must be JCP-certified and have requested the export-controlled drawings or your quote will not be accepted, and the drawings request deadline (02 October 2026) has already passed.
If current drawings are not requested the contractor's proposal will not be accepted.
- Short clarification window. Questions must be in by 09 October 2026, and the closing date will not be extended, so there is little time to resolve unclear specs.
closing date and time will not be extended.
- Many required documents with the quote. Twelve items are required, including drydock certification, planning document, welding and QP-1/NACE papers; a missing item can get the quote rejected.
Proposals that do not include a planning document may be considered unresponsive.
- Fixed price with a fixed labor rate for extra work. Any extra (growth) work is priced at the single composite labor rate you quote, which must cover supervision, overhead and profit, so a low rate can cost you money.
The composite labor rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the prime contractor's direct labor hours for
- Slow cash flow. You cannot invoice a line item until it is 25 percent complete, and 10 percent of the contract price is held back until all deliverables are accepted.
10% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE WILL BE WITHELD UNTIL ALL DELIVERABLES, REQUIRED BY THE
- Geographic limit for the boat. The 55-foot boat cannot go over land or on the open ocean, so only yards reachable within the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound can realistically bid, and travel costs are added to your evaluated price.
DI 3: Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, WA.
- Specialized coating and drydock credentials. QP-1 certification must be active before award and throughout the work, and delays caused by an expired certificate get no time extension.
Requests for extension of time for any delay to the completion of the project due to an inactive certification will not be considered.
- Past performance lookback is stated two ways. The package says projects from the last two years in one place and within the past three years in another, so ask which applies.
recent within the past three (3) years.
