MARAD - Vessel Inspection Services for RRF Vessels - Third Party

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking proposals for a single‑award, firm‑fixed‑price Indefinite‑Delivery/Indefinite‑Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide third‑party vessel inspection services. The contract will be awarded on a Best‑Value basis; non‑price factors—Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Management/Staffing—are collectively weighted more heavily than price and are of equal importance to one another. Offerors must submit four separate, complete sections (Technical Capability, Past Performance, Management & Staffing, and Price) so each can be evaluated independently. The Technical and Management proposals must be concise (Technical: no page limit specified; Management: maximum five pages, exclusive of resumes) and must include a staffing/organizational chart and resumes for all key personnel. The Price proposal is limited to three pages and must include rates for a “complete inspection for one complete site visit” and pricing for all CLINs; travel will be reimbursed at cost in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations. Options will be evaluated by adding option prices to the base‑requirement total. Proposals and any questions must be submitted via email to Henry Puppe (henry.puppe@dot.gov) with the subject line “693JF726R000014 MARAD Vessel Inspection Services.” Questions are due no later than 4:00 p.m. ET on 22 May 2026; the complete proposal package is due no later than 4:00 p.m. ET on 4 June 2026. The solicitation is open competition and references multiple small‑business categories (SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, etc.), but no specific set‑aside is indicated. All submissions must comply with FAR 12.201‑1, FAR 52.212‑2, and the attached FAR clauses.
