Master Agreement for Repair and Alterations of Vessel

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 217.71, "Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels, states that a MVA is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between a contracting activity and a contractor that contains contract clauses, terms, and conditions applying to future contracts.

An MVA is not a contract, but contemplates future contracts that will reference the master agreement.

Further, DFARS 217.71 states that when a requirement arises for the type of work covered by a MVA agreement, the contracting officer should solicit offers from prospective contractors who previously executed a master agreement, or who have not previously executed a master agreement but possess the necessary qualifications to perform the work, and agree to execute a master agreement before award of a job order.

The contracting officer should provide for full and open competition in accordance with FAR part 6 for all future ship maintenance and repair contracts, even when work must be accomplished by a MVA holder, so that additional sources of competition can be identified and encouraged in accordance with the FAR and DFARS.

ACC-WRN will require an approved MVA from the prime contractor prior to award; contractors who do not meet this requirement will be ineligible for award. In order to qualify for an MVA, a contractor must have the organizational ability to complete all work required under the contract. Any capabilities a contractor does not have must be accomplished through use of a subcontractor. The contractor must include a statement of the types of work their firm proposes to perform. Interested contractors are encouraged to request a MVA application from the contracting activity in a timely manner. Request for MVA applications shall be sent to the following email address: matthew.d.kunkel2.civ@mail.mil.

Contractors shall submit their completed MVA application package No later than the closing date specified in the RFP.
