    Announcement_0002_-_MVA_RFI_(17_Oct_2024).docx
    The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is soliciting contractors for a Master Agreement for the Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MVA). This initiative requires prospective contractors to demonstrate their organizational capacity to perform vessel repairs adequately. The MVA acts as a framework for future contracts but is not a contract itself. Contractors must provide documentation evidencing eligibility, including a detailed list of proposed work, prior relevant experience, and compliance with NAICS Code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing). Key capabilities assessed include management controls, financial stability, technical support, quality assurance, and safety measures. Submissions should be delivered electronically, and an annual revalidation will ensure compliance and capability retention for active MVAs. Contractors denied an MVA will receive a letter explaining the disapproval without guidance for reapplication. The overarching goal is to streamline vessel repair contracts while maintaining strict standards for contractor qualifications and facility adequacy, thus promoting efficiency and safety in military maritime operations.
