About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a U.S. flagged, Jones Act vessel to serve as a Maritime Support Vessel (MSV) for counternarcotics operations in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean. The vessel must be capable of supporting 29 sponsor personnel with surge capacity to 44 personnel for up to 30 days without resupply, launching and recovering two small boats up to 44' long and 35,000 lbs in sea state 3 conditions. Specific technical requirements include dedicated operations centers built to ICD 705 standards, a communications room, medical space, berthing for 44 personnel, weapons storage, and UAS launch/recovery space. Potential contractors must submit responses by 1:00 PM EST on March 17, 2025, including company information, vessel descriptions, charter rates, fuel consumption rates, and confirmation of meeting technical requirements. Evaluation will likely focus on the vessel's ability to meet the comprehensive operational specifications outlined in the Sources Sought Notice.
The contract will be a firm-fixed-price arrangement with reimbursable elements, operating from Mayport Naval Base, FL with a base period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026. The solicitation includes two additional option periods: one 1-year option and one 11-month option, potentially extending the contract through March 31, 2028. There is no specific set-aside designation, and the contract falls under NAICS code 483111 with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. While specific award values are not disclosed, the comprehensive technical requirements and specialized maritime support capabilities suggest a significant contract value. The vessel must be prepared to operate in maritime environments supporting critical counternarcotics missions, demonstrating the strategic importance of this procurement opportunity for the Military Sealift Command.
