Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) Family of Systems (FoS) program- Request for Prototype Proposal

The Navy is issuing solicitation N00024‑26‑R‑6326 to award a prototype Other Transaction (OTA) agreement, under 10 U.S.C. §4022, for a Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) that demonstrates autonomy and vessel‑performance requirements by the end of FY 2026. Offerors must submit a single, electronically‑delivered proposal (deadline 17 April 2026, 12:00 p.m. DC time) that includes: (1) a proposed business model (Model 1 – contractor‑owned/operated, or Model 2 – government‑owned/operated) with pricing and delivery timelines for block buys of five and ten vessels; (2) a vessel solution design (max 10 pages) meeting payload, power, cooling, and interface specifications; (3) a manufacturing‑readiness package demonstrating workload, workforce, facilities, supply‑chain and quality‑control plans (Section 3.2.3); and (4) a concise test‑execution plan (max 3 pages) describing the on‑water MUSV test event, placemat format, earliest test date, location, and how the test asset reflects the proposed model. Additional required elements include data‑rights assertions for shipboard and C2 software, annual software subscription terms, a five‑year fixed‑price sustainment agreement, and historical performance and cost data. Proposals must follow the formatting, eligibility (single prime, team listing, foreign‑owned participation allowed), and submission instructions outlined in Section 3, and reference the attached documents J‑1 through J‑8 (SOW, payload interface, test plan, data assertions, cost estimate, placemat template, etc.). The government will evaluate proposals on business‑model feasibility, vessel design, manufacturing readiness, and the test‑execution plan, and will notify awardees per the procedures in Sections 4 and 5.
