About this file
This document provides an overview of a potential vessel acquisition opportunity for the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration. MARAD intends to conduct a sealift ship recapitalization to replace aging Ready Reserve Force vessels and is considering contracting with one or more Vessel Acquisition Managers to identify suitable used commercial vessels, conduct purchases, reflag the vessels to the U.S., complete required regulatory work, and potentially provide maintenance and operation services. The VAM(s) would be responsible for functions including market surveys, vessel recommendations and cost estimates, purchases, reflagging and reclassification, shipyard modernization management, trials support, and reduced operating status maintenance if exercised. Responses to the related RFI were due on May 24, 2019, with the solicitation expected to be released in September 2019 and proposals due in October 2019. Contract award is planned for December 2019. MARAD intends for the VAM contract to facilitate grouped acquisitions of multiple vessels in a more efficient manner than individual ship procurements.

Ready Reserve Fleet Vessel Recap Vessel Acquisition Manager (VAM)
Opening Remarks:
Kevin M. Tokarski Associate Administrator for Strategic Sealift Maritime Administration
MARAD’s Mission To foster and promote the U.S. Merchant Marine and the American maritime industry to strengthen the maritime transportation system – including landside infrastructure, the shipbuilding and repair industry, and labor – to meet the economic and national security needs of our nation
Sealift Recapitalization Requirement MARAD will conduct a sealift ship procurement to recapitalize Government-owned sealift ships, including the Ready Reserve Force.
Procurement could occur during FY21 or sooner, in coordination with stakeholders at Department of Defense, Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command, and U.S. Transportation Command
Recapitalization documents include (3) Navy reports to Congress:
Annual Long-Range Plan for Construction of Naval Vessels for Fiscal Year 2019 (2018) Sealift That the Nation Needs (2018) Business Case Analysis for the Recapitalization of the Ready Reserve Force (2019)
Guidance/Assumptions Key points from the Navy’s Business Case Analysis for the Recapitalization of the Ready Reserve Force (2019)
(Used ship) capacity approximately 170,000 sq ft Classification: American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Re-flag (U.S.) & U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) certification “Modernization" means a wide array of potential ship alterations, executed in U.S. Shipyards, to ensure readiness and/or extend service life
The Procurement As detailed in the Sealift That the Nation Needs Report to Congress, this effort is to obtain more modern, cost-effective Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro/Ro) ships with the most advantageous characteristics through purchase from existing used vessels on the commercial market Recapitalization is an enduring need for sealift, with a requirement to replace approximately (26) vessels during the period 2021 through 2048, or even sooner
MARAD will potentially contract with a Vessel Acquisition Manager (VAM), or multiple VAMs to:
Identify candidate vessels, develop Business Case Analysis for proposed purchases;
Procure, reflag to U.S., convert to meet U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping rules for classification Modernizing as required, VAM may convert for military utility and potentially maintain/operate ships in a Reduced Operating Status (ROS)
Anticipated Acquisition VAM could perform services for the Government that include functions of a ship broker, ship manager, engineering, conversion and logistics support contractor VAMs would seek vessels from commercial sources that meet the Circular of Requirements originally posted in Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) solicitation number 693JF7-19-RFI-0001 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR ROLL-ON/ROLL-OFF VESSEL RECAPITALIZATION, posted on February 14, 2019 The contract vehicle may be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) A Performance Work Statement along with a ORD/KPP document will be provided with the RFP
Aligned with the long term recapitalization strategy. The contract is structured to purchase up to 5 NSMVs
Prime Contract is with the Vessel Construction Manager has experience and ability to receive a coastwise endorsement with a Public Nautical School ship Certification
The VCM is required to compete the construction of the ship.
IDIQ – provides flexibility in the quantity and ordering time of the various items. The draft RFP has all CLINs as FFP.
The requirements of the RFP are provided in a SOO and guidance design. A SOW is to be proposed to meet the SOO and all other requirements of the contact.
We are interested in feedback on the RFP. If there are cost drivers, that could be avoided….
Process Overview Acquiring used ships from the commercial market is time consuming for each acquisition cycle, so using a VAM to streamline acquisitions and grouping or sequencing multiple ship purchases, which is more efficient than individual ship purchases and multiple support contracts, is preferred when possible.
The VAM will identify candidate vessels and propose how they would meet the Circular of Requirements, along with detailed analysis of costs before any procurement is authorized by MARAD.
MARAD will approve a ship(s) for purchase by the VAM only after a collaborative validation by Department of Defense stakeholders through:
(1) a documented, deliberative review of the summary proposal from the VAM, and
(2) required U.S. Government notification processes.
After acquisition, expedited regulatory and reflagging work will be accomplished to ensure a fully mission capable vessel will be provided to the fleet within a reasonable timeline and under budgeted conditions.
Additional modifications to increase the military utility of ships and provide combat power as soon as possible are desired, however the relative timelines and costs associated with modernization and optional conversions will be a consideration factor in evaluating ships for acquisition.
Design – verify and refine.
Domestic Sources to the maximum extent practicable.
Sealift Recapitalization Request for Information for Vessel Acquisition Manager (VAM) services Interested offerors are advised to base their proposals on the instructions and requirements in the Request For Proposal (RFP), not on information presented or shared today or any other communications.
Information will be used to draft the solicitation and finalize the proposed acquisition approach.
The content and/or structure of the strategy may change with the release of the final solicitation.
Acquisitions Note: Commercial industry input is vital to help scope the RFP and inform the best approach to meet the DoD’s need for ships RRF Program Office Note: Alternative ways to use commercial practices that could meet the 35-year (Used-service life) may be considered
