About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking worldwide diving services for hull cleaning, inspection, and associated ship husbandry on Government Owned, Government Operated (GOGO) vessels. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm-fixed-price task orders spanning a 5-year period. Services will cover three geographical zones: Atlantic Waters, Pacific Waters, and European/African/Arabian Peninsula Waters. Contractors must be an ABS Recognized External Specialist for In-Water Surveys and comply with federal, state, OSHA, and Coast Guard regulations. The draft Performance Work Statement outlines 15 specific tasks including full and interim hull cleaning, multi-brush and single brush operations, high/low pressure water jet systems, minor repairs, inspections, non-destructive testing, and underwater coating applications. The market survey seeks input from potential vendors, with a specific focus on understanding small business, 8(a), HUBZone, and other socio-economic category capabilities. Responses to the market survey are due by March 3, 2025, at 0900 Eastern Time.
The pre-solicitation notice does not currently indicate a specific set-aside designation, though the government is actively exploring potential small business participation. The procurement requires key personnel including a Program Manager, Master Diver, Dive Supervisor, Console Operator, Standby Diver, Dive Team, Dive Tender, and Log Keeper. While specific award values are not disclosed, the IDIQ contract structure suggests flexibility in task order funding and scope. The contract will require extensive maritime technical capabilities, with contractors needing to demonstrate comprehensive underwater marine service expertise. The 5-year contract duration indicates a long-term commitment to maintaining the MSC's vessel infrastructure through professional diving and hull maintenance services. Potential bidders must showcase robust operational capabilities across multiple maritime zones and comprehensive understanding of marine vessel maintenance protocols.
