Description
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a market‑research “Sources Sought” effort to identify firms capable of performing a dry‑dock, under‑water body (UWB) repair on the Coast Guard cutter STA CAPE MAY (Hull 45665). The work will be performed at the contractor’s dry‑dock facility and must include a full suite of ship‑repair tasks such as welding, ultrasonic testing, hull plating, fuel‑tank servicing, engine alignment, jet‑drive maintenance, electrical isolation, marine chemist services, and sea‑trial support. Contractors must be able to mobilize within 320 nautical miles of the vessel’s home station, comply with crew‑endurance limits (max 4 days transit, 8 hrs/day), and bear foreseeable costs (fuel, lodging, crane rental, etc.) that will be evaluated in award. The contract will be a firm‑fixed‑price award for an estimated 30‑day performance period. Interested parties must submit capability information, small‑business certifications (if applicable), and a statement of intent to bid by 27 Sept 2026 (2 pm ET).
