Delivery Order N0018918GZ057-N3560A25FB178

The Bureau of Naval Personnel awarded a $806.4K firm fixed-price delivery order to Maine Maritime Academy on July 15, 2025, to ratify government-at-fault retroactive tuition costs for University of Maine NROTC midshipmen for the Spring 2025 semester, with final completion targeted for July 19, 2025. The contract carries no set-aside designation and covers allowable fees and tuition expenses associated with the naval officer training program. Maine Maritime Academy, a state-controlled maritime institution located in Castine, Maine, serves as a critical educational provider to the Department of the Navy and has consistently delivered NROTC tuition services for both in-state and out-of-state naval midshipmen across multiple institutions within the University of Maine System.

This delivery order represents part of Maine Maritime Academy's ongoing role in supporting federal naval education initiatives. The Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps program prepares undergraduate students for service as commissioned officers in the Navy and Marine Corps, and this award reflects the institution's established relationship with the Bureau of Naval Personnel in providing tuition services for eligible midshipmen. The retroactive nature of this award indicates a prior government commitment requiring formal ratification, with the firm fixed-price structure establishing predictable costs for the covered educational services and associated allowable fees.
