This NAVSEA opportunity concerns a sole-source T-ARC(X) cable-ship requirements and design study supporting PMS 325. - Award and approach: NAVSEA awarded a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis for T-ARC(X) requirements feasibility work. The supporting justification identifies Vard Marine as the lead design agent. - Work: The effort addresses requirements for integrating legacy cable systems into an existing commercial ship design. No specific tasks, quantities, or part numbers are provided. - Rationale: The Navy cites existing technical work and design maturity, along with schedule and technical risks associated with changing design sources. It reports that market research and an industry day were conducted, and a 2026 notice seeking interested parties received no responses. - Future use: The study is intended to inform possible future competitive awards for ship construction and/or charter; the current study award is sole-source. The agency states the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable. - Timing and value: The period of performance and contract value are not stated in the available information.
