USCG Response Boat Small Third Generation (RB-S III)

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking a contractor to design, build, test, deliver, and support the new Response Boat – Small, Third Generation (RB‑S III) and its purpose‑built trailer. Up to four IDIQ contracts may be awarded, each with a ten‑year ordering period (2‑year base + 8‑year option). Phase I requires a written proposal and delivery of one demonstrator boat and trailer; Phase II involves a 90‑day in‑water demonstration of the demonstrator. The award will ultimately be a single IDIQ contract for all production orders. The effort includes boat design, fabrication, logistics support, technical documentation, configuration management, spare‑parts supply, crew familiarization, and optional engineering services for an “Other Government Agency” variant.
