Industry Day National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Class C Vessels 25-2336
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025NOAA’s Eastern Acquisition Division (with coordination from PIAD on some notices) is convening virtual Industry Day sessions to discuss the design and construction of NOAA Class C vessels. A Draft RFP will be issued to solicit industry comments for planning purposes only; it is not a bid, RFQ, or commitment to procure goods or services. Draft RFP attachments typically include sections, a Draft Statement of Requirements, and Questions for Industry, with industry questions and responses treated as public information on SAM.gov. Attendees must RSVP to receive the meeting link, and sessions are conducted via virtual platforms (Microsoft Teams or Google Meet). When a final RFP is issued, respondents will be expected to fully address the stated requirements.
New information across notices shows multiple virtual Industry Day sessions planned around the Class C Vessel program, including coordination between EAD and PIAD in some notices. Draft RFP materials and the questions-for-industry are circulated for comment, with responses from industry sought by specified deadlines (and, in some notices, limited to a page count). Some notices indicate questions will not be discussed during the Industry Day, and one notice confirms the Industry Day has occurred with an attached presentation and a page-limit for subsequent industry responses. All draft materials are for planning and market research; no payment or procurement obligation arises from participating or submitting questions.
