The Department of the Army awarded a $2.92M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Herbert-Abs Software Solutions, LLC on September 25, 2025, for vessel architecture services under the Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) Program. The contract, which represents a Total Small Business set-aside, supports the United States Transportation Command's mission to develop, maintain, and update vessel data and computer models for multiple fleet types including Military Sealift Command Core Fleet, Navy/Marine Corps Fleet, and commercial dry cargo vessels. Herbert-Abs will deliver vessel computer models, technical documentation, AutoCAD drawings, trim and stability data, and CargoMax software expertise to support DoD vessel load planners during peacetime and wartime operations. The work will be performed primarily at the contractor's facility in Alameda, California, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2030.

Herbert-Abs Software Solutions, a specialized maritime logistics software provider based in Alameda, California, brings extensive experience in naval and research vessel support through its existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Military Sealift Command ($2.64M through July 2029) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($1.85M through August 2025). The company's established expertise in CargoMax stability software platforms, trim and stability booklets, and marine logistics systems positions it well to address the anticipated workload of five new vessel additions and 35 vessel updates annually, along with a current backlog of 32 new vessels and 46 vessel updates. The contract includes a base period through September 30, 2025, with four potential one-year option periods extending through September 30, 2029, and an optional six-month extension through March 31, 2030.
