About this IDV
The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), a civilian agency within the Department of Transportation, awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Rhoads Industries, Inc. (doing business as Rhoads Ship Builders) for layberthing services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The contract carries a ceiling value of $11.9 million with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2035, and no set-aside designation was applied. The primary scope involves providing exclusive layberth services for a Ro/Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessel and a Cape Class Rapid Support Craft vessel at Philadelphia Pier 6, with performance taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Layberthing services provide safe berthing and lay-up facilities for vessels when they are not operationally deployed, including vessel support, maintenance, and infrastructure protection during idle periods. This contract supports MARAD's Strategic Sealift Program and the federal government's maritime readiness objectives by ensuring appropriate facility support for reserve fleet assets.
The initial delivery order issued on October 1, 2025, valued at $1.58 million and structured as firm fixed price, covers layberthing services for one ship through September 30, 2035. Rhoads Industries, a Philadelphia-based maritime contractor with extensive experience in ship maintenance, repair, industrial fabrication, and federal maritime support, emerged as the selected contractor based on the procurement conducted under solicitation number 693JF725R000010. The original solicitation, posted in April 2025, sought layberthing services through an Invitation for Bids with award determined by lowest price and facility availability. The contract structure allows for flexible ordering of additional layberth services as needed throughout the performance period, enabling MARAD to efficiently manage operational requirements for reserve fleet vessels while maintaining continuity of service with an experienced contractor.
