Contractors must provide documentation of High Voltage Safety Training for work on systems over 600 volts and be prepared to utilize government inventory parts when possible. While no specific award value is mentioned, the sources sought notice suggests the contract will involve substantial ongoing calibration work across the Military Sealift Command's global fleet.

The solicitation indicates this is a recompete of an existing contract, though no incumbent contractor is specifically named in the available documentation.
