The contract seeks coordination of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) mobilization, transportation, spare parts logistics, and seamless integration with the deck and launch systems aboard the R/V Roger Revelle for offshore operations. This includes managing the end-to-end logistics chain to ensure ROV equipment is properly prepared, transported, and synchronized with the vessel’s operational infrastructure to enable safe and efficient deployment in marine environments. The work requires expertise in maritime logistics, technical integration with vessel systems, and adherence to operational timelines critical to research and exploration missions. The opportunity is categorized as a subcontract under NAICS code 483110, which pertains to support activities for water transportation, and is issued by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition Grants. Responses are due by August 7, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 29, 2026. There is no specified set-aside designation, and the place of performance is not outlined beyond the vessel’s operational areas, implying the work will occur primarily at sea during deployment phases. Contractors must possess proven capabilities in marine logistics and integrated system support to meet the technical and operational requirements of supporting scientific missions on a federal research vessel.
