About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the construction of one Medium Landing Ship (LSM) Block 1 Nondevelopmental Landing Vessel (NDLV) to fulfill critical Marine Corps operational requirements for distributed shore-to-shore maneuverability and littoral force operations. The Navy justified the sole-source award to Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C. based on extensive market research, including an industry-wide Request for Information that identified only two viable NDLV designs meeting the Top-Level Requirements for LSM Block 1. The contract, awarded on September 26, 2025 under number N00024-25-C-2415, leverages an existing nondevelopmental design to reduce schedule and cost risks while providing the Marine Corps with landing ship capability as quickly as possible. Although the total contract value has been redacted from public documents, the procurement includes design artifacts, specifications, data rights, and technical information necessary to operate, maintain, and sustain the vessel throughout its lifecycle. Delivery of the single vessel is projected for April 2030, and the Navy intends to compete future LSM program requirements while procuring technical data packages to enable full and open competition for subsequent vessel construction.
