About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is seeking pilotage services for vessels operating in the Hampton Roads area, specifically covering regions between Cape Henry, Lower Chesapeake Bay, and Cheatham Annex. The contract requires pilots to provide comprehensive navigation services for U.S. Public Vessels (USS and USNS), Time Charter Vessels, and Foreign Military Sales Vessels, with mandatory 24/7 availability and a two-hour response notice. Qualified contractors must maintain appropriate state and federal licensing, possess shore-based surface radar capabilities, and comply with the Defense Biometric ID System (DBIDS) for base access. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors will likely be assessed on their ability to meet technical requirements, licensing credentials, and operational readiness. The pre-solicitation was posted on January 27, 2025, with responses due by February 10, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window for potential bidders.
The contract has no specific set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors. The minimum contract guarantee is $50,000 for the base period, with a maximum potential value of $9,058,663, suggesting significant scope for pilotage services. Contractors will be required to report labor hours through the eCMRA system and are prohibited from subcontracting services without prior written approval from NAVSUP. The contract will be overseen by NAVSUP, with direct support from NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Contracting Department and Naval Station Norfolk Port Operations. Additional unique requirements include providing pilots for phased vessel sorties during natural disasters, which indicates the critical nature of the services and the potential for emergency response capabilities. The procurement falls under NAICS category 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping) and PSC category V227 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation: Navigational Aid and Pilotage), further defining the specialized nature of the contract.
