Description

NOTE: Due to industry concerns regarding the West Coast layberth solicitation, MARAD will reduce the wind requirement from 130 mph to 85 mph.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) requires services for the exclusive long-term safe layberthing for up to two (2) WATSON CLASS LMSR RRF vessels, TRAVIS E WATKINS and MITCHELL RED CLOUD on the U.S. West Coast. Although the layberths are intended for the vessels identified in this solicitation, the Government may substitute vessels of a similar size or smaller. 

See Solicitation document for details.

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?

The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.

What do P10 and P90 mean?

P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
