How to bid on Marine Crane Procurement and Installation for the DEPT of the Army
What the Army is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Army is seeking information from companies that can supply and install a marine crane at the Port of Aqaba in Jordan. This is a Request for Information (RFI), also known as a sources-sought notice. It is not a request for bids or proposals at this stage.
The Army uses this process to understand industry capabilities and interest. Your response helps the government tailor future requirements to align with what the industry can provide. This is an opportunity to introduce your firm to the Army for a potential future contract.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on August 21, 2026. Your capabilities statement must be submitted by email no later than 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on September 22, 2026. No hard copies will be accepted.
The deadline is for submitting your capabilities statement. The government will not notify respondents of the evaluation results, as this is for information and planning purposes only.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in supplying and installing marine cranes. Prior government contract experience is not required to submit a response.
Companies that specialize in heavy equipment, marine construction, port infrastructure, or related fields should consider responding. This is an equipment-focused RFI.
How to respond
To respond, you need to submit a capabilities statement via email. Send your response to [email protected] and [email protected].
You can include commercial brochures or existing marketing materials with your capabilities statement. Ensure your submission clearly demonstrates your company's existing expertise and experience, or your developed plans, related to marine crane supply and installation.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI and not a bid, a well-prepared capabilities statement is important. Clearly articulate your company's experience with marine cranes, including any relevant projects, equipment, and personnel expertise.
Focus on demonstrating your firm's ability to meet the described requirements. Highlight any unique capabilities or solutions you can offer. Since prior government experience is not required, emphasize your commercial successes and how they translate to this type of project. Ensure your email submission is sent well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical issues.
