The Maritime Administration (MARAD) requires services for the exclusive long-term safe layberthing for two (2) Large Medium Speed Ro/Ro's (LMSR) vessels, MENDONCA and BENAVIDEZ on the U.S. East Coast. Although the layberth is intended for the vessel identified in this solicitation, the Government may substitute a vessel of a similar size or smaller. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Department of the Defense (DoD) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) establishes that, in consideration of the National Defense and the American Merchant Marine, a mutual interest and responsibility exists for the joint establishment, maintenance and control of a Ready Reserve Force
(RRF), which is an element of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF). The ships of the RRF are maintained by MARAD in various states of readiness to meet common user lift requirements of the armed services in a contingency. The RRF consists of 41 vessels as of October 15, 2021.
