The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 693JF726R000016) for a Vessel Design Challenge under the Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) program. The initiative seeks to fund multiple design teams to develop integrated vessel designs that significantly improve fuel efficiency, targeting a 30 percent improvement, and reduce underwater radiated noise (URN). This is a design-stage challenge focusing on fluid dynamic modeling and technical feasibility rather than direct measurement. Eligible proposals may include redesigns of existing projects, new specifications, or experimental theoretical designs for commercially useful vessels, though fisheries vessels and small recreational watercraft are specifically excluded. Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, with individual awards typically ranging from $150,000 to $450,000 and total available funding up to $1.25 million. Projects must be completed within 12 to 18 months. Ideal design teams should follow a design-build approach, incorporating naval architects, marine engineers, shipyards, and technology providers. While preference is given to U.S.-based companies and U.S.-flagged operations, the challenge is open to all domestic applicants other than individuals, including U.S.-registered entities with foreign parent ownership. Proposals are limited to 20 pages, inclusive of all supporting documents such as resumes and letters of support, and must be submitted in PDF format by January 10, 2027. Submissions must include a detailed design and modeling approach, a justifiable budget, and a project timeline. Evaluation is based on the design integration plan, the robustness of the methodologies, team capabilities, and the clarity of the budget and timeline. Final deliverables include a preliminary vessel design, a comprehensive design analysis including return on investment (ROI) and technology readiness levels (TRL), and a final report for public release, though sensitive proprietary information will remain confidential.
