Agency: HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF / US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION
Location: WASHINGTON, DC
NAICS: 336612
Scope: Federal

U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO), is conducting market research to identify industry capabilities for commercially available or custom-configured Class 4 Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPVs) for use by the U.S.

Border Patrol (USBP).

The vessels will support inshore patrol, law enforcement, interdiction, search and rescue, deterrence, reconnaissance, and maritime awareness missions in rivers, lakes, bays, coastal areas, the Great Lakes, and other inshore operating environments.

CBP is considering two vessel categories: Patrol Boat-Small (PC1): A nimble vessel, 25 feet or less, intended for shallow and obstructed waterways such as riverine environments.

Patrol Boat-Medium (PC2): A stable vessel, at least 25 feet and no more than 29 feet, intended for rougher open waters, including the Great Lakes and coastal/inshore areas.

CBP requests vendor feedback on the draft RFI and draft performance specification, including the availability of commercial-off-the-shelf or modified/custom vessel solutions, ability to meet requirements, requirements that may present challenges, recommended changes or clarifications, perceived technical or production risks, warranty terms, estimated pricing, production capacity, delivery schedules, and relevant experience producing similar vessels for the U.S.

Government or comparable customers.

This notice is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or request for proposals.

The Government does not intend to award a contract based solely on this notice and will not reimburse respondents for costs associated with preparing or submitting information.

Attachments provide additional draft requirements and requested response information.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
