About this opportunity
Military Sealift Command seeks main reduction gear reactivation and return to service on USNS APALACHICOLA and USNS YUMA at Fairwinds Terminal in Norfolk, Virginia, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses with unrestricted competition permitted, but an OEM sole-source justification based on exclusive licensing designates ZF Marine, LLC as the sole authorized provider.

Upon completion, the contractor submits condition reports and an "as released" report in PDF format. Offerors must provide detailed labor hour and rate breakdowns, materials per Statement of Work, freight, and travel costs (hotel, per diem, car rental). Both line items are firm fixed-price quoted as one job each. Inspection and acceptance occur at both vessels by designated government personnel.
