Solicitation # DOIEFBO260006

The Department of the Interior and the Marine Minerals Administration are conducting market research via a Draft Request for Proposal for a Multiple-Award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The objective is to secure offshore vessel services to support physical inspections of renewable energy facilities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf, spanning from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The government requires fully crewed vessels equipped with Walk-to-Work (W2W) or motion-compensated gangway systems capable of transferring personnel to specific deck heights. The contract is estimated to have a maximum value of 30 million dollars over a five-year period, consisting of a 12-month base period and four one-year option periods. A concurrent Seed Task Order is anticipated as a Firm-Fixed-Price award to provide a DP2 offshore vessel and crew for inspections of up to 93 facilities during calendar year 2027. Award decisions 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. Contractors must adhere to strict safety standards, including IMCA M254 and U.S. Coast Guard requirements, and maintain a lost-time incident rate of 0.50 or lower.
