About this award
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) awarded a $2.26 million purchase order to Curtin Maritime Corp on August 29, 2025, for open-ocean towing services to transport the T-EPF FALL RIVER vessel from Naval Base Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to Brownsville, Texas. This Total Small Business set-aside contract requires the contractor to provide a U.S. flag, Jones Act-compliant, ocean-going certified tugboat capable of performing the single-voyage towing operation in accordance with the U.S. Navy Tow Manual. The work is scheduled to commence with laydays beginning September 5, 2025, with performance expected to conclude by the ultimate completion date of November 4, 2025. Curtin Maritime Corp, a Long Beach, California-based for-profit subchapter S corporation, brings extensive experience in maritime transportation and towing services for federal agencies, including prior work with MSC on ocean transportation and tug and barge operations.
The contract represents a firm fixed-price procurement under MSC, which is a Defense agency component of the U.S. Navy. Curtin Maritime's selection aligns with the company's established track record managing complex maritime logistics and its previous award of multiple federal contracts, including Indefinite Delivery Contracts with Naval Supply Systems Command and other defense entities. The Total Small Business set-aside designation ensures competition among small business contractors and supports MSC's small business program objectives, as confirmed during the pre-solicitation phase conducted in July 2025.
