About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is conducting a market survey for Qualified Member of the Engine Department (QMED) training services for Civil Service Mariners (CIVMARs). The training program encompasses four distinct rating categories: Electrician-Refrigeration Engineer, Fireman/Watertender & Oiler, Pumpman/Machinist, and Able Seafarer-Engine, designed to help unlicensed mariners earn United States Coast Guard endorsements. Training must be conducted within 30 miles of MSC support units in Norfolk, Virginia, or San Diego, California, and include classroom instruction, simulator environments, and hands-on practical experience with USCG-certified instructors. The contractor must provide all training facilities, equipment, transportation, course materials, and completion certificates while maintaining strict reporting and quality control measures. Interested parties must submit detailed capability information including organizational history, small business status, and compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 by 5:00 PM local time on July 18, 2025, to Michael Caraballo and Jim Ellis at their Navy email addresses.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools) with a size standard of $21.0 million, particularly encouraging responses from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, HUBZone, and 8(a) certified businesses. The contract will have a five-year performance period from March 1, 2026, to February 28, 2031, with a potential six-month extension option. Annual course seat estimates range from a minimum of 20-75 seats per course type to a maximum of 100-150 seats across the four training categories. Each course includes both USCG-approved classroom instruction and a mandatory 40-hour practical hands-on training component. No current incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific contract value estimates are provided at this pre-solicitation stage.
