The Department of the Navy’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems portfolio is seeking industry participation for Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSV) Phase II Integration and Testing, emphasizing modular, adaptable maritime autonomy solutions. Interested vendors should have expertise in vessel construction, autonomy, perception systems, and maritime operations, and will be evaluated on platform maturity, open-architecture autonomy compatibility, endurance, payload integration capacity, and rapid-production scalability. To meet high-volume autonomous vessel procurement needs over the next decade, the government intends to use streamlined commercial-solutions and other-transaction authorities to award Basic Ordering Agreements, prototype OT agreements, and potentially production contracts or transactions. A Call for Solutions under the Drone Marketplace replaces the planned AOI; it is open for a five-year period with rolling assessments, and approved platforms will be accepted into the drones.mil maritime marketplace for funded delivery orders. Vendors should ensure active SAM.gov registration, monitor the posting for amendments and industry day announcements, and submit inquiries in writing to the Agreements Officer.

The Navy's DRPM/PAE for Robotics and Autonomous Systems is seeking industry participants for Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSV) Phase II Integration and Testing under a newly issued Call For Solutions that replaces the planned Area of Interest, supporting high-volume autonomous vessel procurement over the next decade. MUSV uses modular design principles for adaptable, resilient solutions against evolving threats, and interested parties should have expertise in innovative problem-solving, vessel construction, autonomy, perception systems, and maritime operations. Vendors will be evaluated on platform maturity, open-architecture autonomy compatibility, endurance, payload integration capacity, and rapid-production scalability, with awards potentially using commercial solutions and other transaction authorities, Basic Ordering Agreements, prototype OTAs, and possibly production contracts. A rolling open window will allow new entrants and existing vendors to submit updated product blocks and modular payload configurations, and approved platforms will enter the drones.mil maritime marketplace for funded delivery orders without redundant procurement cycles. The previously planned AOI release date of on or before September 30, 2026 has been superseded by the Call For Solutions, no separate AOI will be posted, and vendors should maintain active SAM.gov registrations, monitor for amendments and industry day announcements, and submit inquiries in writing to the Agreements Officer.

The Navy is announcing a forthcoming opportunity for Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSV) Phase II Integration and Testing, emphasizing modular, adaptable designs for evolving threats. Vendors will be evaluated on platform maturity, open-architecture autonomy compatibility, endurance, payload integration capacity, and rapid-production scalability. The government intends to use streamlined acquisition authorities, including Commercial Solutions and Other Transactions, to award Basic Ordering Agreements, prototype agreements, and potentially production contracts. The formal Area of Interest release is planned on or before September 30, 2026, with a rolling open window to allow ongoing competition and updates from vendors. Approved platforms will be listed on the drones.mil maritime marketplace for authorized stakeholders to issue funded delivery orders.
