Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy (PMS 300) is hosting an Industry Day to gather feedback for the recapitalization of the USS Arizona Memorial (AZM) Tour Boat (TB) fleet. This effort seeks industry input on potential strategies, including new construction or refurbishment, for the existing six-boat fleet. The Industry Day will be held on March 18-19, 2026, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Honolulu, Hawaii. Questions regarding the event are due by March 10, 2026.

The AZM TB fleet supports a critical mission, requiring two boats to operate 11 hours per day, 362 days a year, providing access to the memorial. The overarching mission objective is "Reliable, Efficient, and Solemn," emphasizing reliability, fuel efficiency, and a respectful experience. The Industry Day aims to obtain industry feedback on various recapitalization courses of action and to increase the fidelity of work estimates to inform broader market research.
