About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a contractor to perform the Post Shakedown Availability (PSA) for the USNS Robert F. Kennedy (T-AO 208), a naval vessel requiring comprehensive repair and maintenance services. The solicitation, marked as N3220525R4079, is open to all responsible sources under full and open competition, with contractors required to complete a non-disclosure agreement to access technical data and work item packages. The procurement will be conducted through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment Solicitation Module, with the solicitation release scheduled for July 3, 2025. Interested contractors must have capabilities in ship repair, specifically within the East and Gulf Coast regions, and must adhere to strict confidentiality requirements regarding technical information. The contract demands precise handling of proprietary data, including specific protocols for data use, protection, and potential destruction or return after proposal submission or contract completion.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and will be evaluated under the NAICS code 336611 for Ship Building and Repairing, with a Product Service Code of J998 for East Coast ship repair. The anticipated performance period spans from March 2, 2026, to July 15, 2026, representing approximately four months of comprehensive vessel maintenance and repair work. While specific award values are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the scope suggests a significant maritime repair project requiring specialized naval engineering and repair capabilities. The Military Sealift Command has already obtained concurrence from the Office of Small Business and the Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative on the solicitation approach. Potential contractors should be prepared for a complex technical evaluation process that will likely assess their technical competence, previous naval repair experience, and ability to handle sensitive government technical documentation.
