The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting quotations for vessel repair and assessment services on the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) naval vessel, identified as LCU-1633. The procurement encompasses two separate line items: various compartment assessment work for ballast tank cleaning, inspection, and maintenance (CLIN 0001), and various compartment assessment support work involving equipment removal and installation across 15 compartments (CLIN 0002). Prospective contractors must possess a current Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MARAV) with the U.S. Navy, specifically either a Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) or Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) in the Japan Region, making this a restricted competition limited to pre-qualified vendors. The solicitation requires firm-fixed-price quotations to be submitted in Japanese Yen by May 13, 2026, with contract performance scheduled from July 20, 2026 through August 20, 2026. Award criteria emphasize meeting Navy specifications for surface cleaning and preservation per standard 009-032, completing Level-I and Level-II inspections per standard S137, and adhering to all applicable FAR and DFARS clauses, including cybersecurity maturity model certification and contractor security requirements for federally controlled facilities.

This solicitation contains no small business set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The contract will be issued as a firm-fixed-price job order under the awardee's existing MARAV agreement, with all terms and conditions of that agreement applying. Work on the ballast tank assessment involves five tanks ranging from 2,641 to 3,190 gallons in capacity, plus one void space requiring cleaning, venting, gas-free procedures, and preservation activities. The support work package includes removal and installation of equipment and removable deck grating across designated compartments, with government-furnished materials limited to cork and rubber sheets, washers, and brass nuts for the ballast tank work only. Performance will take place at SRF-JRMC Yokosuka/Detachment Sasebo in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan, with payment to be made via electronic funds transfer using the FY26 Budget Exchange Rate of JPY 150.4415 per USD 1.00.
