USFFC Berthing and Messing Program 2026

The United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) and Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC), under the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, are seeking industry input on Operational Level (O-Level) maintenance and support services for 24 Duty Crew Berthing Barges used during CNO scheduled ship overhauls and repairs. The contractor will provide comprehensive maintenance services including interior and exterior repairs, electrical and mechanical work, painting, plumbing, security systems maintenance, firefighting equipment servicing, and port husbandry tasks for barges located in Kittery, Maine (4 barges), Groton, Connecticut (1 barge), and Hampton Roads, Virginia (19 barges). All contractor personnel must possess SECRET security clearance and complete mandatory training in cybersecurity, operations security, and antiterrorism awareness. The anticipated acquisition structure is a single Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) service contract. Interested businesses must submit a 10-page Statement of Capabilities by August 27, 2025, at 8 AM EST, detailing company information, size, ownership, security clearance verification, corporate experience, and maintenance service capabilities.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates no set-aside designation is currently in place, though the Navy is exploring potential small business set-aside opportunities and requires that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the scope involves maintaining barges that are 40-60 years old across three East Coast locations. The anticipated contract timeline includes a 12-month base period beginning in January/February 2026, followed by four additional 12-month option periods, creating a potential five-year total performance period. The work encompasses maintaining aging maritime assets that provide critical quality of life facilities for naval personnel during extended maintenance periods when ships become uninhabitable.
