Contracting officer information and contact details
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) within the U.S. Department of Transportation is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified small business concerns capable of providing vessel surveys, appraisals, and related maritime technical support services for the Title XI Federal Ship Financing Program and other federal lending-related maritime activities. This notice is purely informational and planning-focused and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or invitation for bid; responses are not offers and cannot form a binding contract, nor will the government reimburse any costs incurred in preparing submissions. The scope of potential services includes vessel condition surveys, valuation and appraisal reports, technical inspections, review of maintenance and operational records, risk and collateral analysis for maritime lending, shipyard and construction progress inspections, compliance reviews, preparation of technical findings, and support for federal credit underwriting and loan monitoring. The government is specifically seeking firms with demonstrated expertise in commercial vessels, marine engineering, vessel operations, ship financing, and maritime asset valuation, with a strong preference for small businesses that meet the requirements under NAICS code 541990.
Respondents must submit an electronic capability statement in PDF format to Kelly Mitchell-Carroll at K.Mitchell-Carroll@dot.gov with the subject line "Sources Sought Response – Title XI Vessel Surveys and Appraisals" no later than June 8, 2026, at 12 noon EDT. The capability statement must include detailed information on company experience with federal or private-sector maritime appraisals, additional capabilities and differentiators, whether services will be provided independently or through subcontractors, sample deliverables, business size and socioeconomic status such as Small Business, SDB, HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB, information security practices for handling sensitive data, and proposed team qualifications including resumes, education, certifications, and relevant experience. Questions regarding the notice must be submitted by June 3, 2026, at 12 noon EDT, and responses will be used exclusively to inform future acquisition planning and determine the availability of qualified small business sources. The anticipated place of performance is the Washington Navy Yard in the District of Columbia, and while no contract value or pricing details are provided, the government intends to pursue a total small business set-aside if a solicitation is issued based on the findings of this market research.
