Request for Proposal - Border Security Riverine – Shallow Water (BSR-SW)

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) HQ Contract Operations has issued this combined synopsis and solicitation to procure small craft under the Border Security Riverine – Shallow Water (BSR-SW) program. This requirement is being conducted as a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside under NAICS code 336612 for Boat Building and PSC 1940 for Small Craft. The acquisition is formatted as a Request for Proposal (RFP) for commercial products or commercial services, and the USCG does not intend to issue a separate written solicitation.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to obtain vessels capable of performing riverine operations in shallow water environments. The government recently extended the response deadline to January 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, to accommodate revisions to the requirements document and allow industry additional time for proposal preparation. Performance will take place within the United States, and William E. Lewis serves as the point of contact for this requirement.

Fourteen attachments support this solicitation, including updated system specifications, price schedules, and a requirements document revised as of January 22, 2026. Other provided materials include a question-and-answer document, an SF-30 amendment form, and the consolidated solicitation document. All proposals must adhere to the updated requirements and specifications outlined in the latest versions of the project documentation.
