The Department of the Interior and the Marine Minerals Administration are conducting market research via a Draft RFP for a Multiple-Award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide offshore vessel services for physical inspections of renewable energy facilities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. The scope of work covers a geographic range from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The government is seeking industry feedback on the draft, specifically regarding CLIN structure, insurance requirements, evaluation criteria, and pricing for an anticipated Seed Task Order. The overall contract has an estimated maximum value of 30 million dollars over a five-year period, consisting of a 12-month base period and four one-year option periods. The anticipated Seed Task Order requires a DP2 offshore vessel equipped with a Walk-to-Work (W2W) transfer system to inspect up to 93 facilities during calendar year 2027.

Award will be based on a Best Value Tradeoff process, where technical capability and past performance are significantly more important than price. Key evaluation factors include vessel sourcing strategy, organizational conflict of interest mitigation, and small business participation. Comprehensive insurance coverage is required, including 10 million dollars in Bumbershoot/Excess Liability and 5 million dollars each for Protection and Indemnity and Vessel Pollution Liability.
