What the notice says

The Department of the Navy Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager (DRPM) / Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) hereby issues this announcement regarding a forthcoming Area of Interest (AOI) for Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSV) Phase II Integration and Testing. MUSV uses modular design principles to create adaptable and resilient solutions that can effectively counter evolving threats. We invite interested parties with expertise in innovative solutions to complex problems, vessel construction, autonomy, perception systems, and general maritime expe… (show all)

rience to participate in this opportunity. Vendors will be evaluated on platform maturity, open-architecture autonomy compatibility, endurance, payload integration capacity, and rapid-production scalability. To meet the critical operational demand signal for high-volume autonomous vessel procurement over the next decade, DRPM RAS will employ innovative and streamlined acquisition pathways. The government will leverage the authorities of 10 U.S.C. 3458 (Commercial Solutions) and 10 U.S.C. 4022 (Other Transactions) and intends to award Basic Ordering Agreements and prototype other transaction agreements, and potentially production contracts or transactions to successful vendors. To maintain technical superiority and capture rapid commercial innovations, DRPM RAS intends to issue the AOI with a rolling open window. This open call will allow new entrants to compete and existing vendors to submit updated product blocks and modular payload configurations. Approved platforms will be accepted into the maritime marketplace hosted on drones.mil. This digital clearinghouse will empower authorized acquisition authorities and operational stakeholders across the Department of War enterprise to rapidly configure and issue funded delivery orders for vetted maritime autonomous systems without redundant procurement cycles. Formal AOI release is planned on or before September 30, 2026. Detailed AOI instructions will be released via SAM.gov and syndicated at https://drones.mil. Interested industry vendors capable of delivering commercial or dual-use maritime unmanned surface systems are encouraged to ensure active SAM.gov registrations and monitor this notice for amendments, industry day announcements, and formal AOI documentation. All inquiries concerning this notice must be submitted in writing to the Agreements Officer at Christopher.j.murr.civ@us.navy.mil (note this email is distinct/different than the auto generated SAM.gov). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Update_as_of_23_September_2026_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DRPM RAS is issuing this Call For Solutions (CFS) under the Drone Marketplace Commercial Solutions Opening W58RGZ26SC001.
