Description

The U.S. Army Product Manager, Army Watercraft Systems (PdM AWS) is seeking industry input relevant to its Force Support Vessel (FSV) program. The Government is seeking vendor input on Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) vessels, similar to Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV), that may be capable of meeting its strategic open ocean, port-to-port, heavy lift operational needs. Ports of interest are small to medium in size and are expected to provide minimal to no cargo handling support. Cargo may include small to large Army wheeled and tracked vehicles (up to 70 short tons), ISO containers (20 ft and 40 ft), and other breakbulk cargo.

The Government intends to explore how these vessels fit in the PdM AWS portfolio and can prepare the Government for future acquisitions. The Government is considering various acquisition approaches such as buying or leasing existing vessels, purchasing new (existing design) vessels, and creating Modified COTS solutions. In the near-term, the Government intends on acquiring up to six vessels by FY27 / FY28. Long-term goals will be based on projected needs and lessons learned from near-term efforts.
