About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a contractor to provide a comprehensive Unlicensed Mariner to Licensed Mariner (AB to Mate) Training Program. The solicitation (N3220525R4012) requires a training program that transforms unlicensed civil service mariners into licensed Third Mates qualified for vessels of 500 gross tons or more. The program must include 19 United States Coast Guard-approved training courses, full-mission bridge simulation, license exam preparation, and associated support services. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror, with proposals due by April 17, 2025. Key evaluation criteria will focus on the contractor's ability to deliver a comprehensive maritime training curriculum that meets USCG certification requirements and prepares mariners for professional licensing.
The solicitation is an unrestricted procurement with no specific set-aside designation, allowing for broad competition among qualified technical and trade schools. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a five-year base period from May 7, 2025 to May 6, 2030, and an optional five-year extension. The minimum guaranteed amount is $3,500, with a maximum contract capacity yet to be determined. The training will accommodate between 6 and 48 students per year, with a total evaluated price of $762,000.00 across two primary Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The training will be conducted at the contractor's facility, which must provide on-campus lodging, meals, and a campus-like setting, with the primary place of performance located in Fleet, VA 23511.
