About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a Mid-Term Availability (MTA) on the USNS WALLY SCHIRRA (T-AKE 8), a 689-foot cargo ship. The procurement encompasses comprehensive ship repair and maintenance services including tank cleaning and gas-freeing, mooring structure preservation, fire door and shutter maintenance, lifeboat inspections, Woodward Governors work totaling approximately 18,000 hours, automation and propulsion control system inspections, topside cradle and foundation preservation, and machinery space turnover with dock and sea trials. Interested firms must demonstrate their capability to perform this work by submitting a capabilities package addressing company profile information, facility description, business size and socioeconomic status under NAICS Code 336611 (Ship Building and Repair), and any relevant partnerships or teaming arrangements. While the sources sought notice does not explicitly detail formal evaluation criteria, the government will assess available shipyard capacity and contractor qualifications to support the formal solicitation. Key dates include the pre-solicitation notice posting of March 5, 2026, a capabilities statement submission deadline of March 20, 2026, and a target formal solicitation issuance date of March 28, 2026.
This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for small businesses or other special designations. The MTA is scheduled to commence on or about October 26, 2026 and conclude by December 14, 2026, to be performed at the contractor's facility on the West Coast, limiting the area of consideration to West Coast shipyards. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the pre-solicitation notice, nor is any incumbent contractor identified. The sources sought notice emphasizes that submission of a capabilities statement is not mandatory for future solicitations, though participation will assist the government in assessing available shipyard capacity and may enhance a firm's competitiveness for the formal bid. Prospective contractors should note that the government will not provide compensation for information submitted during this preliminary phase.
