A Study on Vessel Design Challenge
Solicitation # 693JF726R000016
The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) is issuing a Request for Proposals under the Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) program for a Vessel Design Challenge. This initiative seeks to fund multiple design teams to develop integrated vessel designs that prioritize a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency and a reduction in underwater radiated noise (URN). The program is open to domestic applicants other than individuals, with a preference for U.S.-based companies operating under the U.S. flag. Eligible designs include the redesign of existing projects, new design specifications, or theoretical and experimental approaches for commercially useful vessels, excluding small watercraft, recreational, or fisheries vessels. Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, with individual awards ranging from $150,000 to $450,000 and a total available funding pool of $1.25 million. The project timeline is 12 to 18 months. Successful applicants must deliver a preliminary vessel design including hull forms, propulsion and power system selections, stability and load analyses, and a comprehensive economic analysis detailing the return on investment compared to conventional designs. Proposals are limited to 20 pages and must be submitted in PDF format via email to the designated contract specialists. Evaluation will be based on the design integration plan, methodology, team capabilities, project timeline, and budget justification. All applicants must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM).

The U.S. Government is seeking input from potential vendors regarding a proposed sole source award to iMotions, Inc. for the iMotions Voice Analysis Module (audEERING), which is intended to integrate with the existing iMotions research platform used by the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership to enable automated analysis of vocal expression and speech patterns linked to psychological and emotional states. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that no other supplier can meet the specific technical requirements, but the government is soliciting feedback to evaluate whether competition is being unnecessarily restricted and to encourage alternative vendors to demonstrate capability. Responses must address whether the requirement can be structured to allow competition, particularly among small businesses, and must include details on business size, certifications, past performance, commercial availability, pricing, and recommendations to improve the procurement approach. All submissions are due by July 29, 2026, and must be sent via email to the designated point of contact with the official Sources Sought Notice ID included in the subject line.

The NAICS code for the requirement is 541720, with a size standard of $28 million in annual revenue, and responses are especially encouraged from small businesses including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, and SDB concerns. The government will use all received information to determine whether to proceed with a sole source award or initiate a competitive process, and any future RFQ or RFP will be posted publicly on the Governmentwide Point of Entry.
