The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command awarded a $726,200 firm fixed price purchase order to Western Towboat Company for dry cargo charter services in support of ammunition transportation. As described in the Jones Act dry cargo voyage charter solicitation, the contract calls for Western Towboat to utilize its U.S.-flag, Jones Act compliant self-sustaining vessel or tug and barge combination to transport approximately 124 twenty-foot ISO containers weighing an average of 20,000 pounds each from Concord, California to Valdez, Alaska and return. With a 100% small business set-aside, this contract supports the Military Sealift Command's logistical requirements to resupply ammunition to naval assets operating in the Pacific. Western Towboat will deliver the requested charter services from its place of performance in Concord, California through the completion date of May 5, 2021.
