The Navy is seeking a contractor to manage construction of up to 35 new Medium Landing Ships for the Indo-Pacific, using a standardized design to cut costs and speed delivery.
The U.S. Navy has issued a Request for Proposals for a Vessel Construction Manager (VCM) to oversee the construction of its new Medium Landing Ship (LSM) fleet, with the contract expected by mid-2026.
The VCM will serve as the Navy’s prime contractor, managing production at Bollinger and Fincantieri shipyards using a standardized "build-to-print" design based on Damen Naval’s LST 100.
This model aims to reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and strengthen the industrial base by streamlining oversight and minimizing government-driven changes.
The LSMs, intended for distributed maritime operations in the Indo-Pacific, will support Marine Corps logistics and mobility, with plans to build up to 35 vessels.
