The Military Sealift Command requires the operation and maintenance of two government-owned Expeditionary Transfer Dock vessels, the USNS John Glenn and USNS Montford Point. The contractor is responsible for ensuring these vessels remain mission-ready at all times, except during scheduled maintenance, and must operate them in accordance with USCG, ABS, and SOLAS regulations. This requirement is structured as a single fixed-price contract with pass-through elements, consisting of a base year from May 2, 2027, to May 1, 2028, with four subsequent one-year options. The procurement is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 483111, utilizing a best-value tradeoff source selection process where technical capability and past performance are significantly more important than price. Key operational requirements include maintaining a Secret level facility security clearance and employing personnel with Secret clearances. The contractor must manage crew manning across three operational statuses: Full Operating Status, Reduced Operating Status, and Repair Availability Status. Performance is monitored through Onboard Condition Inspections and specific metrics regarding cost, readiness, and manning, with an award fee plan providing up to $250,000 per evaluation period for both ships. Financial administration involves Wide Area Workflow invoicing and detailed reporting of reimbursable expenditures. The contractor is also required to provide comprehensive marine insurance, including Basic P&I and War Risk coverage, naming the United States as an assured.
