DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSEA.NAVSEA SHIPYARD.PUGET SOUND NAVAL SHIPYARD IMF · Response deadline: Fri, 16 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) is procuring relocation services for the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP). This is Move 2 under the program, covering both industrial and office relocation needs.
NAICS code 484210 covers general freight trucking, local—businesses primarily engaged in providing local trucking services without storage for general freight. However, in practice this type of solicitation typically encompasses broader relocation and logistics services beyond pure trucking, including specialized handling, coordination, and facility transition management for complex industrial environments.
The SIOP is a multibillion-dollar Navy initiative to modernize the four public shipyards (including PSNS&IMF) to support Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarines and Virginia-class attack submarines. The program involves extensive demolition, new construction, and reconfiguration of existing facilities—which inherently requires moving personnel, equipment, and operations from areas being renovated or demolished into interim or permanent locations.
For this specific move, bidders should anticipate requirements involving the relocation of industrial machinery, tooling, office furniture, equipment, and potentially sensitive materials within a secure shipyard environment. The industrial nature of PSNS&IMF operations means work will likely occur in active nuclear-certified production areas with stringent safety, security, and quality requirements.
See the solicitation for the complete statement of work, including specific quantities, schedule phasing, and any phased move requirements.

Who can bid
This opportunity is a total small business set-aside, meaning only small business concerns registered in SAM.gov may submit offers. To qualify, your business must:
- Meet the NAICS 484210 size standard (see the solicitation or SBA.gov for current thresholds, typically based on average annual receipts)
- Be actively registered in SAM.gov with current representations and certifications
- Have any required freight forwarding or transportation operating authorities if applicable to interstate operations
Given the industrial shipyard setting, prior experience with government or Department of Defense relocations may strengthen your competitive position, though the metadata does not indicate specific experience requirements. Security clearances, safety certifications, or union coordination capabilities may be relevant—see the solicitation for any mandatory qualifications.
Joint ventures and mentorship arrangements under SBA programs are permitted if structured in compliance with small business regulations.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the shipyard environment. PSNS&IMF is an active nuclear shipyard with unique access, safety, and security protocols. If you lack direct shipyard experience, partner with or subcontract to firms familiar with NAVSEA facilities, or invest in understanding the Industrial Security Manual and local Base Access requirements.
Price for complexity, not just mileage. Industrial relocations in constrained facilities involve crane services, rigging, disconnection/reconnection coordination, and potential after-hours work to avoid operational conflicts. Build labor rates that account for escorted access delays, security screening time, and potential overtime premiums.
Emphasize safety and schedule certainty. The Navy will likely evaluate past performance and technical approach heavily. Document your safety record, experience with similar-scale moves, and ability to execute within windows that minimize operational disruption to ship repair schedules.
Address the local factor. With performance in Bremerton, WA, your proposal should demonstrate either local presence or a feasible mobilization plan. Labor availability, equipment staging areas, and traffic/ferry logistics for the Kitsap Peninsula matter.
Leverage set-aside status. As a total small business set-aside, you compete only against other small businesses—highlight any small business certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) that may provide evaluation advantages if the solicitation includes additional preference provisions.
