About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to extend 12 existing ship management service contracts for Ready Reserve Force (RRF) ships on a sole source basis with incumbent contractors including Keystone, Pacific-Gulf Marine, Patriot Contract Services, TOTE Services, Ocean Duchess, and Crowley. The services encompass labor and supervision for equipping, provisioning, maintaining, and repairing ship structures, equipment, machinery, and supplies for vessels that provide nearly 50% of government-owned surge sealift capability critical to national security operations. The sole source justification is necessary to bridge the gap from July 27, 2025, to October 26, 2025, allowing MARAD sufficient time to complete the award process for a new competitive solicitation that was issued in December 2022 but delayed due to a recent change in administration. The procurement is being pursued under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) statutory authority, which permits sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. While the total contract value is redacted in the attached documentation, the award date is scheduled for July 16, 2025, with the vendor information currently listed as unknown in the system.
