Dock-Side (DS): USCGC HEALY (WAGB 20) Fiscal Year 2027

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The US Coast Guard is issuing a contract for dockside availability work on the USCGC HEALY (WAGB 20) for Fiscal Year 2027. The goal of this contract is to ensure the operational readiness and maintenance of the vessel through specific repair and replacement tasks, particularly focusing on boiler systems. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for replacing the gauge glass for Boiler #1, moving the gauge glass for Boiler #2, and replacing the tube sheet for Boiler #2. This work must be coordinated with Work Item 20: Boiler Maintenance, Annual to avoid duplication of efforts. The contractor will also need to provide government-furnished property including gauge glasses and valves as specified in the solicitation. Additionally, technical representatives must be provided by the contractor, including a National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBBI) Commissioned Inspector for boiler inspections and a qualified steam engineer to oversee operations. Period of Performance The estimated period of performance is from January 5, 2027, to May 9, 2027. Place of Performance The contract will be performed at the dockside location where USCGC HEALY is stationed. Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide a National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBBI) Commissioned Inspector with an 'R' endorsement and a City of Seattle Grade Two Steam engineer or equivalent credentials. These personnel must be present on-site to perform inspections and manage operations related to boiler maintenance. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The prior work for USCGC HEALY appears to involve the same awardee, Vigor Marine, under closely related FY26 dry dock repair services (70Z08526DLREP0004) and a related task order (70Z08526DLREP0004-70Z08526FLREP0018), with an award value of $18,279,228. The FY27 dock-side availability effort similarly focuses on boiler-related maintenance and dockside tasks aboard the HEALY (e.g., gauge glass replacement/moving and boiler tube sheet work), which aligns with the earlier scope that included dockside tasks as specified and vessel maintenance/repairs at a certified facility.
