About this award
The U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) awarded an 85-day Jones Act tanker time charter contract to Fairwater Commercial Management LLC valued at $10.055 million on May 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 15, 2025. This unrestricted, firm fixed-price definitive contract supports MSC's mission to provide sealift capability for the Department of Defense. The charter will be performed in San Diego, California and involves the time charter of a specialized U.S.-flagged vessel capable of transporting clean petroleum products, including aviation fuels such as JP5, F75, and JAA. The vessel specifications required either a Medium Range tanker with minimum 230,000-barrel cargo capacity or an Articulated Tug and Barge or Integrated Tug and Barge configuration with minimum 150,000-barrel capacity, equipped with an Inert Gas System or equivalent. The charter period commences between June 5 and June 15, 2025, with intended delivery points in Selby, California and redelivery at Point Loma, California.
The solicitation, originally posted as a pre-solicitation notice on April 16, 2025, sought proposals from all responsible sources, with no small business set-aside designation applied. The Small Business Administration's Procurement Center Representative concurred with the unrestricted procurement approach. Fairwater Commercial Management LLC, identified by UEI VPLQKMFCSET8, was selected as the prime contractor and will provide the complete vessel time charter services. This procurement falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and reflects MSC's strategic reliance on commercial vessel charters to augment organic sealift capacity for military logistics operations.
