The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking qualified contractors to provide dry-dock repair services for the USCG Station Apra Harbor (45762) RB-M, located in Santa Rita, Guam. The procurement aims to identify sources capable of fulfilling the agency's requirements for a firm-fixed-price contract with an anticipated performance period of 91 calendar days in FY26. This opportunity is critical for maintaining the operational readiness of the vessel, which has geographical restrictions limiting transit to within 320 nautical miles of its station, although contractors outside this range may still be considered with additional cost factors. Interested parties must submit their qualifications, including company details and past performance, by December 19, 2025, to Regina Elliott-Dougherty at Regina.ElliottDougherty@uscg.mil.
