    Attachement A_RFI SCB MAC V2.pdf
    The "SERVICE CRAFT & BOATS MAC" document is an attachment for a government solicitation, likely a Request for Information (RFI) or a similar pre-solicitation questionnaire, seeking information from potential bidders for various service crafts and boats. It requests company contact details, business designations (e.g., Small Business, HUB Zone, EDWOSB), and intentions to bid. Key inquiries include whether combining aluminum and steel-hulled vessels would prevent bidding, and if small businesses can execute "Lot II programs." The document lists a wide array of boats for which companies can express bidding interest, such as Workboats, OSR Utility Boats, USCG SPC-LE II, Dive Support Boats, various Barges, and Tugs. It also asks for approximate prices for candidate vessels, including technical manuals/data and potential quantity discounts, and a brief description of the company's capabilities and capacity. This document aims to gauge market interest, capabilities, and pricing for a diverse range of marine vessels.

    The provided document outlines the instructions for submitting questions regarding a government solicitation, likely an RFP or grant. Vendors are required to use a specific 'Question_Submission' Excel tab, filling out one row per question. Each submission must include the question number, vendor name, point of contact details (name, email, phone), slide/section reference, specific text quoted (if applicable), the vendor's question, the type of question (Technical, Contract, Price, Admin), and an optional rationale or concern. Completed Excel files are to be submitted to the email addresses provided in the SAM.gov announcement. This structured approach ensures clarity and efficiency in the question submission and response process for government procurements.
    RFI Service Craft Boats.pdf
    The Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a potential PMS 300 Service Craft and Boats (SCB) Multiple Award Contract (MAC). This RFI is for informational planning purposes only and is not a formal solicitation. The Navy plans to award a 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract in FY26, valued at an estimated $3.5 billion, for various steel and aluminum boats, targets, and service craft for the U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales (FMS). The contract will utilize two lots: Lot 1 for Small Business Set-Aside and Lot 2 for Full and Open Competition. The RFI details specific types of boats and craft, their key characteristics, notional quantities, and a planning schedule for the solicitation process. Interested parties are encouraged to submit responses by October 14, 2025, and complete a questionnaire to receive an invitation to a virtual Industry Day on October 15, 2025.
    SCB MAC RFI Slides.pptx
    The U.S. Navy is transitioning from single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for Service Craft and Boats (SCB). This new approach, outlined in the "Service Craft & Boats Multiple Award Contract (MAC) Overview" dated September 19, 2025, aims to streamline contracting, reduce acquisition lead times, and foster competition, including small business growth. The SCB MAC, with a ~$3.5B ceiling, will feature a 10-year ordering period (5 base, 5 option years) and Firm Fixed Price delivery orders. It is divided into Lot 1 for small businesses (aluminum and steel boats, targets, service craft) and Lot 2 for full and open competition (Service Craft like APL(S) and AFDM). The Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated in Q2 FY26. Proposals for the MAC will have limited initial submission requirements, focusing on facility descriptions, past performance, and engineering/industrial service rates, with detailed technical and pricing requirements addressed at the delivery order level. The government seeks broad vendor participation, with a nominal minimum guarantee of $1,000, and reserves the right to add more MAC holders in the future based on performance and market needs.
