Buoy Deployment and Logistics Support

The contract seeks qualified providers to deliver maritime logistics support for the deployment, retrieval, and transport of drifting buoys, likely in coordination with U.S. Navy or commercial vessels operating in open ocean environments. Services will require specialized equipment, experienced crew, and operational flexibility to handle oceanic conditions and precise timing for buoy recovery and redeployment, ensuring continuity of environmental and meteorological data collection. The work may involve transit to remote or high-seas locations, adherence to military operational protocols, and seamless integration with existing naval or government monitoring programs. This is a subcontract opportunity under NAICS code 483111, tied to the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center in Norfolk, with responses due by May 27, 2026. Although no set-aside designation or specific geographic restrictions are listed, performance will occur in maritime regions as required by mission demands. Contractors must demonstrate proven capability in ocean logistics, vessel compatibility, and coordination with defense assets, with an emphasis on reliability, safety, and mission-critical timing. All proposals are expected to address technical feasibility, logistical planning, and compliance with applicable maritime and defense standards.
