## Description

The purpose of this solicitation is to obtain specialized assistance, and professional consulting services with the expert knowledge of the data structure, processing logic, and queries within the American Bureau of Shipping’s Nautical Systems Enterprise (NSE), and with expertise in the commercial maritime business operations, and marine maintenance management, and Preventive Maintenance Plans (PMP).

The RRF Management System (RMS) encompasses the management and operation of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software applications, hardware infrastructure. The RMS Program office, located in MARAD’s Division of Logistics (MAR-614), provides overall program direction and operations guidance for RMS-related activities. MARAD’s Division of Maintenance and Repair (MAR-611) is responsible for documentation and training related to the business protocols, process improvements, and ship maintenance plans.

The primary RMS software application is a customized version of the American Bureau of Shipping’s Nautical Systems Enterprise (NSE), a client-server MySQL-based database application. NSE is the maintenance management system used across the NDRF, for tracking maintenance and financial information for all operations of all MARAD vessels. Third party applications are also used for RMS customized reports and remote accessing of shipboard servers and workstations.

MAR-611 Manages the NSE software and requests, while MAR-614 manages the support and hardware across all NSE deployment sites. NSE is installed onboard all NDRF vessels, two special program vessels, and school ships. It is in operation at seven contracted Ship Managers, two Logistics Support Contractors Sites, MARAD Headquarters, and MARAD Division Offices. There are approximately one thousand active NSE users/accounts.

MARAD has also deployed a tailored version of NSE at three NDRF sites (James River (fort Eustis), VA; Beaumont, TX; and Suisun Bay, CA) to support NDRF functions called the Reserve Fleet management System (RFMS). RMS supports the following programs the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Ready Reserve Force, Missile Defense Agency Ships, Reserve Fleet Management Sites, NSMV construction, and Public Nautical School Ship Programs.
