AI summary Beta
The U.S. Coast Guard (Surface Forces Logistics Center, Norfolk) is asking which companies could do drydock repairs on the cutter JOSEPH TEZANOS, which is based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is a market survey (Sources Sought), not a request for bids. The work would take about 120 days, starting around 13 April 2027, at the contractor's own facility, and there is no geographic restriction.
Watch out for
- Needs a drydock facility. All work happens at the contractor's own shipyard, so only firms with drydock capacity can realistically respond or bid.
All work will be performed at the contractor’s facility.
- Response does not count as a bid. Answering this notice does not enter you in any later competition, so you must watch SAM.gov for the real solicitation.
responses to this Sources Sought Notice will not be considered adequate responses to any resultant solicitation
- Conflicting response dates. The SAM.gov header shows a 2027 deadline but the attached notice says 12 OCT 2026, so check before relying on either.
