This federal contract award is for $4,787,826.09 to provide layberth and services for two Ready Reserve Force (RRF) vessels, the MENDONCA and BENAVIDEZ, to be moored at the Newport News Marine Terminal in Virginia. The contract was awarded to Talton Marine Terminal, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business that specializes in maritime support services for the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD).

The contract is a delivery order awarded under a larger indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with a ceiling of $20,482,350 for layberthing the MENDONCA and BENAVIDEZ at Newport News through September 2033.

These contracts underscore Talton's vital role in maintaining the readiness of these strategic sealift assets for potential national defense and emergency preparedness missions.
