USCGC ANTHONY PETIT (WLM-558) DRY DOCK AVAILABILITY FY 24

REQUIREMENT:  This notice is issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Surface Forces Logistics Center, and Alameda, CA to identify sources capable of providing the following:  Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, materials, services, equipment, supplies, power, accessories, special tools and such other things as are necessary to perform DRY DOCK maintenance to the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter, USCGC ANTHONY PETIT (WLM-558) a 175’ Coastal Buoy Tender.  

This requirement is for a vessel that is homeported in Coast Guard District 17 (the State of Alaska). It is anticipated that this requirement will be solicited in accordance with Sec 8220 Alaska Shipyard Provision, SEC. 9210. VESSEL CONVERSION, ALTERATION, AND REPAIR PROJECTS.

Sec 8220 Alaska Shipyard Provision

SEC. 9210. VESSEL CONVERSION, ALTERATION, AND REPAIR PROJECTS.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any provision of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.) and any regulation or policy implementing such Act, the Commandant may use full and open competitive procedures, as prescribed in section 2304 of title 10, United States Code, to acquire maintenance and repair services for vessels with a homeport in Coast Guard District 17.

(b) APPLICABILITY.—Subsection (a) shall apply only if there are not at least 2 qualified small businesses located in Coast Guard District 17 that are able and available to provide the services described in such subsection.

(c) LIMITATION.—The full and open competitive procedures described in subsection (a) may only be used to acquire such services from a business located in Coast Guard District 17 that is able and available to provide such services.

ANTICIPATED NAICS CODE/SIZE STANDARD: The applicable NAICS Code is 336611, Ship Building and Repairing and the size standard is 1,250 employees.

Operational Limitations:  Military considerations for CGC ANTHONY PETIT’s FY24 Dry Dock location to be within the inside passages of Southeast, AK and the protected waters of the Pacific Northwest.

This military consideration is requested due to potential safety concerns associated with commercial facilities outside the inside passages of Southeast, AK, and the protected waters of the Pacific Northwest. The Gulf of Alaska, as an example, regularly experiences sea states that exceed the operational and design limitations outlined in reference (a) for CGC ANTHONY PETIT. During the scheduled period of industrial performance, the Gulf of Alaska exceeds sea state four 52% of the time, per reference (b), thereby providing limited safe windows for the cutter to safely complete the 3-day transit across the Gulf of Alaska. Encountering sea states beyond the design limitations of the vessel could have a disastrous impact on the seaworthiness of the vessel placing the cutter crew’s safety at risk.  To safely cross the Gulf of Alaska, CGC ANTHONY PETIT would be required to wait for an acceptable forecasted sea state, which would jeopardize their ability to meet the scheduled contract start date or meet a reasonable delayed date.

CGC ANTHONY PETIT services the aids to navigation that supports the safe usage of the US Navy’s Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC), located in Behm Canal near Ketchikan, Alaska. SEAFAC supports submarine operations for the entire West Coast submarine fleet. Approval of this request would increase ANTHONY PETIT’s availability for operations and enhance DoD’s readiness posture.
