MPA 620 - Marine Craft Service, Repair and Maintenance

The State of Rhode Island has issued an open solicitation, MPA 620, to establish a qualified vendor list for the service, repair, and maintenance of its extensive fleet of marine craft, which includes boats from a wide variety of manufacturers. This procurement does not award a specific contract upfront but instead creates a pool of pre-vetted vendors who will be eligible to receive task orders over the life of the agreement. Response submissions are due by September 30, 2027, and interested parties must meet the state’s requirements to be included on this ongoing vendor list. The solicitation is open to all qualified providers without set-aside restrictions and is managed by the Rhode Island Department of Administration’s procurement office. All work under this arrangement will be performed across Rhode Island, supporting state operations that rely on marine vessels for public safety, environmental monitoring, and other essential services. The primary point of contact for questions and further information is Jonathan Nadeau, reachable via email or phone, and all submissions and updates must be processed through the official state vendor portal. Vendors selected will be expected to maintain high standards of service, possess the technical capability to service diverse marine systems, and comply with state procurement guidelines for timely and cost-effective performance under future task orders.
