MSRA/ABR Applications N00024-25-I-4000
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 25, 2025MSRA/ABR updates revise the Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (MSRA/ABR) by changing the tier structure, where the work can be performed, and the technical and facility requirements, with added clarifications on certification and renewal processes. New MSRA/ABR applications must be submitted within 90 days of the notice to the CNRMC MSRA/ABR Program Manager; existing MSRA/ABR certificates that are not re-applied will be canceled, though current agreements remain in effect during processing. If deficiencies arise, there is a 90-day window to correct and submit an OQE, with a possible 30-day extension; a follow-up site visit will have the Site Survey team validate the OQE.
Companies without an MSRA/ABR are encouraged to apply if they want to perform ship, boat, or craft repair. For solicitations requiring MSRA/ABR, a master agreement for repair and alteration of vessels must be executed before award (and this also applies to new IDIQ solicitations). The MSRA/ABR application must be submitted before the proposal due date for the relevant solicitation. The Navy intends to incorporate the new MSRA tier structure in upcoming mid-FY26 Coast Wide Bid Availabilities, with further details in the requisite solicitations; refer to CNRMCINST 4280.1B and the MSRA/ABR application submission requirements for more information.
CNRMC issued an update to its Instruction for Master Agreement for Repair and Alteration of Vessels, MSRA/ABR on 30 MAY 2025. The instruction revises the MSRA/ABR Tier structure, location, technical and facility requirements and provides further clarification regarding certification and renewals. New MSRA/ABR applications, in accordance with the new 2025 instruction, are due to the CNRMC MSRA/ABR Program Manager no later than 90 days after the date of this notice. Companies with an existing MSRA and/or ABR certification that do not submit a new MSRA/ABR application by this date will result in cancellation of their existing MSRA and/or ABR certification. However, current agreements will remain in place for companies meeting this 90-day application timeline while the application package is processed. Should there be any deficiencies during the certification process, companies will have 90 days to correct and submit OQE. Companies can ask for a 30-day extension if needed to correct any deficiencies. If the deficiencies are not corrected, the current agreement will be cancelled. Requisite Site Survey team members will validate OQE during a follow up site visit. Companies currently without an MSRA/ABR agreement who desire to attain a certification and perform ship/boat/craft repair are also encouraged to submit their application to the CNRMC MSRA/ABR Program Manager. Companies proposing on ship repair and/or boat/craft repair solicitations for standalone contracts must agree to execute a master agreement for repair and alteration of vessels before award of a contract. For new indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) solicitations requiring a MSRA or ABR, companies must agree to execute a master agreement for repair and alteration of vessels before award of a delivery order. Companies will be required to submit the requisite MSRA or ABR application prior to the proposal due date for the requisite solicitation(s). For awareness, the Navy is targeting to include the new MSRA Tier structure in upcoming mid-FY26 Coast Wide Bid Availabilities. More information regarding the specific availability will be included in the requisite solicitations.
