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).
