Vessel Architecture

Background
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is seeking industry input to assist in developing and planning the Vessel Architecture requirements. The Department of Defense (DoD) emphasizes efficient transportation planning for deploying and distributing forces and equipment.

The Vessel Architecture is crucial for the Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) Program, which relies on accurate vessel data for maintaining the ICODES vessel library utilized by DoD vessel load planners during both peacetime and wartime operations. The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) requires specialized expertise from a Marine Engineering Organization (MEO) to ensure the accuracy and currency of vessel data for various fleets, including the Military Sealift Command Core Fleet, Navy/U.S. Marine Corps Fleet, Foreign Flag, and Commercial Dry Cargo Ships.

Work Details
The tasks to be completed under this contract include:
1. Developing, maintaining, and updating vessel data for designated ships within various fleets.
2. Ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the ICODES vessel library used by DoD vessel load planners across Services.
3. Providing specialized expertise in marine engineering to support the overall objectives of USTRANSCOM and SDDC in transportation planning.

Period of Performance
The period of performance will span multiple months or years as determined by project requirements.

Place of Performance
The geographic locations for contract performance are not explicitly stated but are likely to include facilities associated with USTRANSCOM and SDDC.
