Conduct Review & Update of Modeling Relationships and Associated Computerized Applications - CADET, Hull Lines Flexibility, Powering and Emissions Handling, Ballast Templates & Wake Screening Application

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity is seeking engineering services to conduct a comprehensive review and update of modeling relationships and computerized applications related to vessel hull lines and maritime performance analysis. The procurement involves evaluating and enhancing several specialized applications including CADET (Channel Analysis & Design Evaluation Tool), hull lines flexibility programs, powering and emissions handling models, ballast templates, and wake screening applications. The contractor will be required to review existing hull lines libraries, develop new hull profiles for various vessel types including deep-draft cargo vessels, ocean-going passenger vessels, and offshore support vessels, and update associated user guides and computational models. Technical capability will be considered more important than price in the evaluation process, and the government intends to award without discussions with offerors. Questions must be submitted via email by September 5, 2025, with proposals due electronically by September 16, 2025, at 4:30 pm ET.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price arrangement with a total performance period of 395 calendar days from the anticipated contract award date of September 30, 2025. Base tasks must be completed within 240 days, while optional tasks have specific completion windows ranging from 70-90 days after option exercise. The solicitation includes optional tasks for compiling additional hull profiles, with up to four deep-draft cargo vessel hulls, one ocean-going passenger vessel hull, and up to two offshore support vessel configurations. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation documentation, and specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available materials.
