Dockside (DS): USCGC KIMBALL FY26 Repair

Amendment / Modification

This document, Amendment 0002 to Solicitation 70Z08526QLREP0013, is effective 04/08/2026. It incorporates responses to prospective offerors' questions, which may clarify, interpret, or modify solicitation requirements. In case of inconsistency, the terms of Amendment 2 shall govern.

• Question Number 001: Addresses a question regarding relief valves in Work Item 007, Section 3.3.3, Table 2. The question noted that references appeared to be drawing numbers rather than standard commercial part numbers and that configurations might not align with typical manufacturer offerings. The Government confirmed that the provided information (manufacturer, reference/drawing numbers, pressure set points) is sufficient. Offerors are advised to:

  1. Contact manufacturers directly using the provided drawing numbers and pressure specifications to identify the appropriate equivalent or exact part.
  2. Rely on manufacturer support to validate sizing and configuration details. Offerors may request a ship check for additional verification.

• The document states that this requirement has been successfully performed on similar vessels using the same level of information.

• No explicit changes to proposal deadlines or submission rules are stated, but offerors should be aware that the Government's responses may modify requirements. Offerors are reminded to acknowledge receipt of this amendment.
