Technical Representative- Ships, Small Craft, Pontoons, And Floating Docks

PSC Category L019 (Technical Representative - Ships, Small Craft, Pontoons, and Floating Docks) encompasses technical representative services specifically focused on marine vessel and maritime infrastructure support. These services primarily involve specialized testing, maintenance, repair, and technical assessment of marine equipment such as warping capstans, mooring systems, electric brakes, and naval vessel components. The technical representatives provide critical engineering and operational evaluation services that ensure the functional integrity and performance of maritime assets.

Recent federal contract awards in this category predominantly involve the U.S. Navy and Maritime Administration, with contract values ranging from approximately $5,000 to $36,500,000. Key contractors include Crowley Government Services, Inc. and Great Eastern Group, Inc., who have been awarded multiple delivery orders supporting naval training, vessel maintenance, and logistics support. Most awards are full and open competition with no specific set-aside designations, and performance locations are typically naval shipyards and maritime facilities in regions like Portsmouth, VA, and Fort Lauderdale, FL. Contract types are primarily firm fixed-price delivery orders with performance periods spanning several months to over a year, often supporting ship management, crew training, and equipment maintenance requirements.

Recent federal contract opportunities in PSC Category L019 are predominately solicited by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, focusing on highly specialized maritime equipment testing and repair services. Specific opportunities include comprehensive testing of warping capstans, electric brake overhauls, and technical equipment inspections for naval vessels like the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Most solicitations are set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with performance locations concentrated at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. The opportunities typically require detailed technical documentation, precise equipment testing, and compliance with strict naval technical specifications, with performance periods generally ranging from two to seven months.
