About this award
The Military Sealift Command awarded a $16.1M firm fixed-price definitive contract to Hornbeck Offshore Operators LLC on January 16, 2026, for a special time charter vessel to support submarine rescue operations. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of February 17, 2027, requires a Jones Act-qualified U.S. flag vessel capable of installing and supporting the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) and Submarine Rescue Diving Recompression System (SRDRS). The vessel will be positioned at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with a base performance period of 183 days and one optional 182-day extension. This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, allowing all responsible sources to compete. The contract originated from a pre-solicitation notice posted in October 2025, which outlined the Navy's need to charter a capable vessel for submarine sea trials and fleet mission requirements.
Hornbeck Offshore Operators LLC, a Covington, Louisiana-based marine transportation services provider, has extensive experience delivering specialized maritime capabilities to the Department of the Navy and Military Sealift Command. The company maintains a portfolio of high-value contracts focused on vessel charters and advanced maritime operations, including prior submarine rescue support missions and specialized towing operations. This award reflects Hornbeck's established capability to provide critical maritime infrastructure for complex naval operations and underscores the Military Sealift Command's continued reliance on the private sector for specialized vessel charter services essential to submarine rescue readiness and operational fleet requirements.
