About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is procuring Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical representative services for Vest Davit equipment support during Final Contract Trials (FCT) Mock for the USNS POINT LOMA. The scope requires Vest Davit authorized representatives to perform Sea Trial Agenda Event Descriptions (STAED), conduct alarm function testing, support crew training, and provide operational assistance on one davit unit. Key requirements include that technical representatives must be on board the vessel by 0800 each morning during pier-side operations and perform all specified testing and inspection activities. The contract will be awarded directly to Vest Davit Inc. as a sole source vendor based on their exclusive rights as the OEM and exclusive access to business-sensitive technical manuals and drawings; only Vest Davit authorized representatives may work on the equipment without voiding warranty coverage. Quotes are due by 10:00 AM EST on November 3, 2025, with the performance period scheduled for February 2–6, 2026.
This procurement includes no set-aside designation and represents a simplified acquisition firm-fixed price purchase order awarded directly to Vest Davit Inc. as the sole source contractor. The service will be performed at JEB Little Creek in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with the specific location to be refined, encompassing both pier-side and underway periods. The contract involves technical support for one davit unit with a small business size standard of $12,500,000.00, though the actual contract value is not specified in the solicitation documents. The performance timeline is compressed into a five-day window in early February 2026, with work commencing immediately upon vessel arrival at the pier. This sole source justification stems from Vest Davit Inc.'s restrictive OEM rights, exclusive technical documentation access, and warranty requirements that mandate only their authorized personnel for equipment maintenance and adjustment.
