Solicitation # MARADVesselLeaseRFI2026
The Maritime Administration (MARAD), under the Department of Transportation, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to assess the U.S. maritime industry's technical and financial capability to deliver strategic sealift ships. Specifically, the government is exploring a potential acquisition strategy to lease up to 10 newly constructed, coastwise-endorsed Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) vessels built exclusively in U.S. shipyards. The proposed lease structure is envisioned as a 20-year total period per hull, potentially organized as a five-year firm term with three additional five-year options. This RFI is intended for planning purposes to inform a lease versus buy decision and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to contract. Interested parties must submit unclassified responses by 5:00 PM PDT on August 31, 2026, to Mark Burns and Frank Wells. Submissions are limited to five pages, excluding title pages and schedules, and must be formatted with 12-point font and one-inch margins. The government is seeking detailed capability statements and feedback on eleven specific areas, including financing, charter structures, residual value, termination liability, federal credit support, and insurance allocation for war and machinery risks during military deployments. Responses should be sent electronically with the subject line Response to RFI – MARAD Roll-on/Roll-off Vessels, and any proprietary information must be clearly marked on each page.

Solicitation # 140D0427Q0880
The Department of the Interior, through the Ibc Acq Svcs Directorate, has issued a Request for Information under solicitation number 140D0427Q0880 to conduct market research for the USWFS Aerial Supervision Module Program. The objective is to identify vendors capable of providing a contractor-operated and maintained on-call multi-engine turbojet powered aircraft to serve as a Leadplane. These aircraft will support DOI pilots in aerial supervision of wildland fire incidents, including the coordination of air tankers and the transport of personnel or cargo. Operations are expected to take place across the contiguous United States and Alaska, with occasional requirements in Canada and Mexico. Under the contemplated arrangement, the contractor is responsible for providing the aircraft, an instructor pilot, insurance, and all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance to ensure airworthiness according to FAA regulations and DOI policy. The government will provide the leadplane qualified pilot and fuel. This effort is currently in the planning phase; no funds have been authorized or appropriated, and this RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal. Interested small or large businesses are requested to provide company details, NAICS size standards, and aircraft configuration capabilities by the response deadline of November 10, 2026.
