Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX II) TReXII-25-01-003 W900KK-25-9-0053 Improved Modular Fuel Delivery Station (iMFDS)

International, Inc. (ATI) as the managing prime to GrowTech Industries LLC located in Buffalo, NY. The total value of this prototype project, if all milestones and options are exercised, is $6,634,000.00. This prototype project, directed by the Program Manager Ships (PMS385) Strategic and Theater Sealift Program Office; Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) Fleet Readiness and Logistics - Joint Distribution (N4L3), enables rapid installation on commercial tankers, enhancing the Navy's ability to meet critical refueling demands in contested environments. The Performer will be responsible for design, developing, and demonstrate a proof of concept for an improved Modular Fuel Delivery Station (iMFDS) that enhances the Navy's at-sea refueling capabilities. This system shall be compatible with designated commercial tankers, allowing for installation with minimal permanent modifications and welding during a short-term ship availability. The prototype will undergo design, fabrication, and comprehensive pier side and at-sea testing to validate its functionality. The Performer will develop a modular iMFDS capable of delivering fuel via the Navy�s Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method (STREAM), per Naval Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (NTTP) 4-01.4 guidelines. The design will prioritize rapid installation and removal, minimizing welding or structural changes to the commercial tanker. The iMFDS prototype will be fully modular, allowing for deployment on designated commercial tankers with minimal retrofitting. Upon successful completion of this prototype effort, the Government anticipates that a follow-on production effort may be awarded via either contract or transaction, without the use of competitive procedures if the participants in this transaction successfully complete the prototype project as awarded. Successful completion will occur when the prototypes have been validated and are accepted by the Government. Further, the government reserves the right to determine part, or all of the prototype project is successfully completed if the vendor shows a particularly favorable or unexpected result justifying the transition to production. Note: Should the selected vendor fail to demonstrate progress or be unsuccessful in the accomplishment of the goals of this prototyping effort, the Government reserves the right to return to the results of this competition and award additional Other Transaction Agreements to one or more of the vendors that responded to the initial Request for Solutions, as appropriate within the scope and evaluated results of the competition.
