Opportunity description
Portfolio Acquisition Executive Maritime (PAEM) is issuing solicitation N6117727R5001 for the award of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Multiple Award Contracts (IDIQ-MACs) for Continuous Maintenance Availabilities (CMAVs), Emergent Maintenance (EM), and short-term Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) availabilities. This solicitation is for the procurement of maintenance, repair and modernization of non-nuclear surface ships (including Guided-Missile Cruisers (CGs), Guided Missile Destroyers (DDGs), Expeditionary Sea Bases (ESBs), Guided-Missile Frigates (FFGs), Amphibious Command Ships (LCCs), Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs), Landing Helicopter Assaults (LHAs), Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs), Landing Platform Docks (LPDs), Landing Ship Docks (LSDs), and Mine Countermeasures Ships (MCMs) homeported in or visiting the Norfolk region. PAEM intends to award IDIQ-MACs based on the qualifications and capabilities of the Contractor in the following two categories: MAC A, where all holders can complete all requirements; and MAC B, where all holders can complete work associated with CMAVs and EM on non-critical systems. MAC A will be solicited on a full and open basis. MAC B will be solicited as a Small Business Set Aide. MAC A � CMAV/EM includes work on critical systems. MAC A also includes short-term CNO availabilities. Due to the nature of critical systems and the likelihood of urgent requirements with critical EM, the Government will require contractors with the capability and capacity to respond immediately to critical technical requirements. It is anticipated that this work would be available under full and open competition. However, if it is determined that two or more small businesses are interested and capable of completing the scope of work under any given delivery order, contracting officers may use their discretion to restrict competition to small businesses. MAC B � CMAV/EM does not include work on critical systems but will include systems and equipment requiring work certification. The scope of non-critical contract actions is expected to require less contractor capabilities, both in human resources and facilities. MAC B will be a small business set aside. In the event that there is no interest expressed for any given delivery order, this work may be competed under MAC A. Offerors must possess or have the ability to obtain a Tier I, II, or III Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) for the Norfolk, VA homeport. Each contract will include five (5) one-year ordering periods. The supply being procured is the repaired, mission ready vessel, which is returned to service within the Fleet. The solicitation will be issued electronically via System for Award Management (SAM) at http://sam.gov and interested parties must comply with that announcement. Interested offerors should monitor the SAM.gov page for any applicable amendments to this solicitation. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management in order to participate in this procurement at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. All responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation, which shall be considered by the agency. SAM.gov is the single point of entry for posting of the synopsis and solicitations to the internet. This pre-solicitation notice is for information purposes only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award of contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This is a pre-solicitation signal. Use it to prepare, verify likely eligibility and watch for the formal solicitation or amendments before committing proposal effort.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
Small Business Set Aside - Partial is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 336611 · PSC J998 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
