T-ESD and ESB Class Alteration Design Support

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is conducting a market‑research “Sources Sought” effort to identify qualified engineering firms that can develop three TRANSALT (Transformation Alteration) work packages for the T‑ESD and ESB class ships. Each work package must include a work item, contract‑guidance drawings, a consolidated materials list, a production estimate, and a weight report, with additional deliverables as defined in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The effort is open to all small businesses, including SDVOSB, HUBZone, Women‑Owned, and 8(a) firms. Respondents must submit a brief capabilities package (max 10 pages) covering company profile, facilities, partnership agreements, contract‑vehicle status, and a rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. Submissions are due electronically by 12:00 pm EST on 14 September 2025. No contract will be awarded from this notice; it is solely for market research to shape a future solicitation. • Design and develop three ship‑modification (TRANSALT) work packages for T‑ESD/ESB vessels. • Minimum deliverables: work item description, guidance drawings, material list, production estimate, weight report. • Additional deliverables detailed in PWS enclosures. • Target audience: U.S. small businesses (SDVOSB, HUBZone, Women‑Owned, 8(a)). • Required submission: 10‑page capabilities statement, company data, facility info, contract‑vehicle status, ROM estimate. • Submission deadline: 14 Sep 2025, 12:00 pm EST, email only to Andrew MacDonald. • No pre‑bid meeting, site visit, or award date; this is a sources‑sought market‑research notice.
