About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration seeks third-party vessel inspection services for Ready Reserve Force vessels under a single-award, firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract, with proposals due June 26, 2026. This is full and open competition.
The contract ceiling is $349,990 with a minimum guarantee of $500 over a 12-month ordering period. Place of performance spans East, West, and Gulf Coast ports across multiple locations: Baltimore MD, Norfolk VA, New Orleans LA, and Vancouver WA (Watson Class vessels); Newport News VA and Portland OR (Bob Hope Class vessels); and Norfolk VA and San Francisco CA (Cape S Class vessels). The procurement covers up to six vessels across three classes.
The contractor must conduct comprehensive class-style inspections including hull condition, machinery, cargo equipment, coatings, safety systems, structural integrity, and pollution prevention systems. Inspections are scheduled during monthly dock trials to observe machinery in operation. Deliverables include detailed post-inspection reports within 45 days with executive summaries, findings and deficiencies prioritized as Critical, High, Medium, or Low, suggested improvements, maintenance and repair plans with cost estimates, and recommendations on vessel activation capability within five days and 180-day operational readiness. Two contract line items structure the pricing: CLIN 0001 covers labor and direct reimbursables (firm-fixed-price), and CLIN 0002 covers travel reimbursement at actual cost not to exceed Federal Travel Regulations with no profit or fee.
Award is on best-value basis with non-price factors—Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Management and Staffing—significantly more important than price. NAICS is 541330, Engineering Services, with $25.5 million size standard. Invoices are submitted electronically via the Department of Transportation's Delphi eInvoicing portal authenticated through login.gov. The solicitation includes an updated Past Performance Questionnaire and posted Q&A as of June 18, 2026.
