Scaffolding on Bridge Face for Ship's Force Use; rig

Naval Supply Systems Command seeks scaffolding installation and maintenance on the bridge face and forward exterior bulkhead of USS New Orleans (LPD-18) at Sasebo, Japan, with quotations due August 30, 2026. Award eligibility is restricted to firms holding an active U.S. Navy Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MARV)—either a Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) or Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) in the Japan Region. Contractors without a current MARV must submit documentation demonstrating compliance with DFARS 252.225-7042 or apply for MSRA/ABR eligibility; those without MARV coverage are ineligible unless sufficient time permits Navy assessment and execution of the agreement without impacting the vessel's availability.

Place of performance is Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan, with delivery to Ship Repair Facility Sasebo and JRMC Yokosuka (Sasebo Detachment). The period of performance runs October 22, 2026 through January 30, 2027, with anticipated award September 12, 2026. Work includes rigging and maintaining two separate scaffolding systems conforming to 29 CFR 1915 Subpart E safety standards, installing protective enclosures to contain falling debris, and cleaning and preservation of new and disturbed surfaces. All contractor employees require Common Access Card eligibility and appropriate background investigations; those accessing DoD facilities and IT systems must complete security clearance procedures and antiterrorism training. The procurement uses simplified acquisition procedures and will result in a single award to the lowest-priced responsive offer. Quotations shall be priced in Japanese Yen using the FY26 budget exchange rate of 150.4415 JPY per USD 1.00, with payment by Electronic Funds Transfer.
