Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Market intelligence

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 336611 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.

Statement of work, as posted

CGC MIDGETT #2 SSDG experienced high crankcase pressure with oil/smoke/vapor protruding from lube oil dipstick ports and crankcase vents. Ships Force attempted minor dynamic troubleshooting, but vapor generation was too rapid to continue operation of the engine. The SSDG was tagged out and opened and remained open for further investigation work and repairs. The cutter has submitted DISCREP #26048 requesting Depot Level assistance from LREPL. The contractor must execute the Major Overhaul listed in TP 14025 (SMCS Code 7595-020-MJ). The Contractor may be directed to renew the Crankshaft. Following crankcase obstruction verification, the Contractor may be directed to perform a Hot Lube Oil Flush of the engine and ancillary equipment.
