Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management System (SAMM)

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a follow-on contract related to its Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management System (SAMM). The purpose of the RFI is to solicit feedback from industry regarding a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS), as part of market research to identify contractors capable of providing non-personal engineering and technical services to support fleet maintenance. The required services include maintenance engineering, condition monitoring, and shipboard testing. Respondents are encouraged to share their capabilities and experiences with similar projects, suggest improvements to the PWS, and indicate any small business support strategies if applicable. The Government emphasizes that this RFI is purely for information gathering and does not obligate any funding or contract awards at this stage. Responses must be submitted via email by May 2, 2025, with specific guidelines for format and content outlined in the document. Confidentiality of proprietary information is assured, although non-proprietary feedback may influence future solicitations. This RFI reflects the Government's commitment to enhancing maintenance management systems for MSC to ensure operational readiness and efficiency.

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) seeks non-personal engineering services to enhance and maintain its Engineering Maintenance Management Systems, specifically the Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management System (SAMM) and associated shore-side systems. With a fleet of approximately 110 vessels engaged in various missions, MSC's Engineering Directorate intends to optimize maintenance operations amidst the introduction of new ships and the retirement of older ones. The contractor will provide engineering, technical, and implementation services focused on preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, and efficient data management across global MSC installations. Key tasks include supporting maintenance engineering services, implementing new maintenance technologies, conducting data entry and analysis, and overseeing compliance with the American Bureau of Shipping standards. Additional responsibilities encompass personnel training, helpdesk support, and quality assurance to ensure operational readiness and effective material management. The project reflects MSC's commitment to enhancing fleet reliability and reducing maintenance costs, while leveraging advanced technologies to maximize efficiency and effectiveness within maritime operations.
