The Army Contracting Command received five bids for the Maneuver Support Vessel (Light) procurement effort via the internet, the Defense Department said Thursday.
A FedBizOpps solicitation notice stated the contract encompasses development, testing, production, training, fielding and support services for the MSV(L) platform.
MSV(L) will be built to replace the Army’s aging LCM-8 landing craft and address the service branch’s future operational and tactical maneuver requirements.
The Pentagon expects Vigor Works to finish contract work by Sept. 28, 2027.
