Vessel Architecture   3

Background
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) HTC711-25-R-E129 for Vessel Architecture. The Department of Defense (DoD) relies on efficient transportation planning for the deployment and distribution of forces and equipment.

The Vessel Architecture program is essential for the Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) Program, which supports staging, conveyance load planning, and multi-modal planning across military and commercial transportation modes during peacetime and wartime operations. The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) requires a Marine Engineering Organization (MEO) to develop, maintain, and update vessel data for designated ships within various fleets, ensuring the accuracy of the ICODES vessel library used by DoD vessel load planners.
