The U.S. Coast Guard is asking businesses whether they can do dockside repairs on the cutter USCGC HAROLD MILLER (WPC-1138), home ported in St. Petersburg, Florida. This is a Sources Sought notice, a market research request, not a solicitation, so there is nothing to bid on yet.

Who can bid
- Register in the System for Award Management (SAM)
- Be able to state that your company will submit a proposal as a prime contractor if a solicitation follows
How to submit: Email to Torrie.m.jones@uscg.mil and Jaime.r.smith@uscg.mil. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Worth checking: Sources Sought is not a solicitation. A response does not count as a proposal, so a firm must still watch SAM.gov for any later solicitation and bid then.
- Worth checking: Set-aside decision may depend on responses. SAM.gov shows no set-aside; firms that do not respond in enough detail may not be counted as likely offerors when the Coast Guard decides whether to restrict competition.
- Worth checking: Prime contractor commitment requested. Responders are asked to state that their company will submit a proposal as a prime contractor if a solicitation is issued.

- Minor: Work scope is thin and may change. Only one work item is listed, the list is "not limited to" it, and the specification and dates can change.
- Minor: Certification documents needed for the status you claim. Each status (8(a), HUBZone, veteran-owned, women-owned, small) needs its own proof, plus proof you are small under NAICS 336611.
