About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking ship repair services for the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20), a naval medical treatment vessel requiring mid-term availability maintenance. This pre-solicitation notice indicates a comprehensive repair and maintenance contract within the Ship Building and Repairing NAICS category, specifically for non-nuclear ship repair in the East Coast region. The government has prepared extensive documentation, including a Sources Sought Notice, a J-14 Non-Disclosure Form, and an initial draft Work Item Package to support potential contractors' understanding of the project requirements. Interested vendors must carefully review the attached files, particularly the zipped work item package containing 117 separate items that outline the specific repair and maintenance needs. The pre-solicitation was posted on May 15, 2025, with responses due by May 22, 2025, giving potential bidders a short window to assess the opportunity and prepare their initial submissions.
The pre-solicitation does not indicate any specific small business set-aside designations, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors with appropriate maritime repair capabilities. While the exact award value is not specified in the notice, the complexity of the 117-item work package and the involvement of a significant naval medical ship suggest a potentially substantial contract value. The repair project appears to focus on maintaining the USNS COMFORT, a critical naval medical support vessel, implying that technical expertise, precision, and reliability will be crucial evaluation criteria. The contract will likely involve comprehensive ship systems inspection, repair, maintenance, and potential equipment upgrades to ensure the vessel remains operationally ready. Given the specialized nature of naval ship repair and the specific non-nuclear east coast requirements, potential bidders will need to demonstrate significant maritime engineering and repair expertise to be competitive.
