V--Vessel Atlantic Ops Physical Inspections RFI

The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is using this Request for Information to support early market research for a future requirement for Vessel Atlantic Ops Physical Inspections. The work centers on obtaining Walk-to-Work equipped offshore vessels that can conduct physical inspections of offshore facilities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf, operate to IMCA M254 Rev. 1 standards, transfer personnel to deck heights up to 24.63 mMSL, support 45-day continuous charters with 21-day excursions, visit up to 93 facilities, and accommodate at least six BSEE personnel with living and working space. The RFI also seeks input on vessel ownership, potential conflicts of interest, acquisition approach options such as IDIQ versus C-Type charter, multi-use capabilities for scientific or ROV operations, and other industry innovations, with no incumbent contract in place and planning aimed toward a possible 2027 award. This is an information-only request, the government will not pay for responses, and phone inquiries may not be answered or returned.
