AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Navy, through NAVSEA, intends to award a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to VARD Marine Inc. in Houston, Texas, for Requirements Feasibility Studies supporting the Cable Repair Ship (T-ARC(X)) program. This effort will assess the commercial VARD 9 01 ship design’s ability to meet the Navy’s Top Level Requirements with minimal modification, focusing on its capacity to support current and legacy cable systems while accommodating government-furnished C4I equipment. The contract will require VARD to deliver concept-level design products including General Arrangement, Critical Equipment List, and Weight Report, along with an analysis of impacts on ship characteristics, cost, producibility, and identification of non-compliant equipment sources. Market research and prior industry engagement confirmed that the proprietary VARD 9 01 design is the only configuration capable of fulfilling all Tier 1 requirements, making VARD the sole viable source to perform this study without introducing significant risk or schedule delays. This announcement is a Sole Source Synopsis and not a solicitation; no formal contract or commitment is implied, and no competitive bidding process will be initiated. The North American Industrial Classification System code is 336611, and the acquisition falls under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which justifies sole-source selection due to the unique proprietary nature of the design. Interested parties may submit a three-page capability statement by August 18, 2026, via email to the designated points of contact, including company information, business size designation, and evidence of ability to perform a comparable feasibility study. Responses must properly mark any proprietary information, as the Government assumes no liability for unmarked submissions and will not reimburse costs. Responses are not offers, will not be considered contracts, and will not impact future participation in potential solicitations. No written solicitation will be issued, and the Government retains full discretion to proceed, modify, or cancel the action without obligation.

Full Description

This is a Sole Source Synopsis announcement. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and a formal solicitation is not available at this time. This notice does not constitute a formal commitment by the Government to issue an RFP, contract, or order. PAE Maritime intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to VARD Marine Inc. (VARD) located in Houston, Texas on a sole-source basis for Requirements Feasibility Studies in support of the Cable Repair Ship (T-ARC(X)) program. This effort will fund the assessment of the commercial/non-developmental VARD 9 01 design to evaluate its viability in supporting future Navy cable ship capacity.

This single award contract in FY26 will require Vard to provide concept-level ship design products, including:

The minimum design products (General Arrangement, Critical Equipment List, and Weight Report) needed to assess the feasibility of incorporating the government’s configuration requirements into a commercial cable ship design.
Identification of any impacts to the ship characteristics, cost, and producibility.
Identification of any alternative sources for equipment and components that are not in compliance with regulatory and/or statutory requirements.

The T-ARC(X) Top Level Requirement (TLR) necessitates a commercial cable ship design requiring minimal modification to support both current and legacy cable systems and accommodate government-furnished C4I equipment. Extensive market research—including industry studies and multiple RFIs—determined that the VARD 9 01 design is the only identified configuration that is capable of meeting all Tier 1 TLRs. Because Vard owns the proprietary rights to the VARD 9 01 design, they are the only source positioned to analyze its feasibility and develop the necessary engineering products without introducing substantial schedule delays or unacceptable performance risks.

North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this acquisition is 336611, Shipbuilding and Repairing.

The intent of this notice is not to solicit competitive offers. A written solicitation will not be issued. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts. This is not a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation and this information is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract. However, interested parties may submit a capability statement of a similar Cable Ship Feasibility Study that can meet the key requirements identified above to the Contracting Officer for consideration. No reimbursement will be made for any cost associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. Respondents are solely responsible for properly marking and clearly identifying any proprietary information or trade secrets contained within their response. The Government will not be held liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information not properly marked and clearly identified. Proprietary information received in response to this synopsis will be safeguarded and handled in accordance with applicable Government regulations.

Responses to this notice are not offers and will not be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract or agreement. The Government will not be obligated to pursue any particular acquisition alternative because of this synopsis. Responses will not be returned. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participating in any future solicitation, if one is issued. Specific responses to the approached will not disqualify or have an impact on participation and evaluation on future solicitations.

Responses to this synopsis shall be limited to three pages and shall include the following information:

Company name, address, point of contact, phone number, and email address.
General description of the company, to include: type of small business and business size (HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, 8(a), etc.)
