About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is soliciting bids for Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Marine Boarding Ladders to support Marine Force Reserves operations. The ladder system must be capable of deployment from small craft to a minimum freeboa height of 30 feet above the water line and must collapse into a maximum of 2-meter sections for vessel stowage. Key technical requirements include construction from lightweight carbon fiber material, support for Marines carrying a full combat load averaging 260 pounds with a minimum breaking load of 4,000 pounds or greater, compatibility with dive and urban combat operations, built-in rubber-covered spacers for hull separation, a flexible hook attachment system, and the ability to accommodate wire caving ladder attachments. The contract will be evaluated based on price, technical acceptability of the quoted product, and past performance, with approximately equal weighting given to technical acceptability and past performance relative to price. The solicitation was posted on February 3, 2026, with a proposal due date of February 9, 2026, at 11:00 AM CST, and a question deadline of February 6, 2026, at 11:00 AM CST. An amendment was issued on February 6, 2026, clarifying that this procurement is for a rigid ladder compatible for VBSS operations, not a soft ladder.
