Vendors must provide detailed vessel specifications, daily charter rates, company information, and confirm an active facility security clearance at the Secret level. The sources sought notice requires responses by December 3, 2024, at 1000 Eastern Time, with an evaluation focusing on vessel capabilities, operational readiness, and technical compliance. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate comprehensive maritime support capabilities for complex submarine rescue and salvage missions.
The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business category, though the small business size standard is defined as 1,500 employees under NAICS code 483112. The vessel will be homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, with operational flexibility across the East/Gulf Coast and North Atlantic Ocean. The contract structure includes a 183-day base period with one 182-day option period, suggesting a potential total service duration of approximately one year. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract will require a sophisticated marine vessel with advanced technological capabilities for submarine support operations. The procurement process will likely involve a detailed technical evaluation of vessel specifications, operational capabilities, crew qualifications, and overall mission readiness to support critical submarine rescue and assessment activities.
