PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
MASTER AND SAILING INSTRUCTORS

1. INTRODUCTION
Organization
The Maritime Administration (MARAD)/U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) provides an Athletic Program overseen by the Department of Athletics. The USMMA Department of Waterfront Operations and Training is responsible for the operation of the Academy’s training fleet, Yocum Sailing Center, as well as varsity, and recreational training programs.
Project Background
For over fifty years, U. S. Merchant Marine Academy's Sailing, Power and Crew Squadron has set the highest standards for the training of merchant mariners and military officers through the medium of small training craft. Whether rowing a crew shell, sailing a dinghy, conning a power boat, or racing offshore to Bermuda, midshipmen have used the unique environment of the sea to develop and mature personally and professionally. The Waterfront's tradition of excellence can be found in its legacy of 17 National Championship Titles, in the testimonials of some of our grads and the service of Waterfront midshipmen and staff who led the Academy's relief efforts on September 11, 2001.
The Academy has always maintained an active sailing program. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, the program competed at a club level, and won many district championships on the intercollegiate circuit.
However, it was not until the 1960’s that the program developed into the comprehensive activity that it has become.
2. SCOPE
The mission of the Department of Waterfront Operations and Training is to promote Midshipmen Leadership Training and Professional Development using Waterfront Resources. Together with the thousands of midshipmen who have been members of the Dinghy Team, Offshore Team, Crew, and Power Squadron, these individuals have helped make the Kings Point Waterfront Program one of the most decorated and respected programs on campus.
The USMMA Waterfront Department seeks Marine Coaching services that will support the Kings Point Waterfront Program. The support services shall include:
