About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is procuring American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Training Classes through a sole source, firm fixed price contract. The procurement covers maritime training courses for In-Service Engineering Agents, including a base contract for two courses in September 2025: a 2-day "Maritime Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis" course and a 1-day "Maritime Risk Assessment" course for 15 students. The solicitation also includes four optional training courses extending through September 2026, including a 3-day "Hull Inspection & Maintenance Program" course. The government will evaluate quotes using the lowest price technically acceptable methodology, assessing technical capability against Performance Work Statement requirements. Quotes are due by 12:00 PM on September 3, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to the designated contracting officer.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is being awarded on a sole source basis to ABS Training Solutions, a company located in Spring, Texas. The total estimated contract value is $81,000, covering the base contract and all optional training courses through September 2026. The training will accommodate up to 15 students across six different classes focused on root cause analysis, risk assessment, and hull inspections. Performance will take place at NSWCCD offices in Norfolk, VA, though the solicitation notice also references Fort Story, VA as a place of performance. The sole source justification is based on ABS Training Solutions' proprietary training materials, comprehensive engineering code training methodologies, and exclusive licensing agreements that prevent other providers from delivering equivalent specialized maritime engineering instruction.
