PART I - TANKTIME BOXES:

1. VESSEL(S) REQUIRED:

One, clean, approved, U.S. or foreign-flagged, double-hull tanker, with an Inert Gas System (IGS) and Segregated Ballast Tanks (SBT) that is capable of carrying a minimum of 235,000 bbls of clean product (intentions JP5, JA1, and/or F76) within vessel’s natural segregation in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation and with the following minimum particulars:

a) There is a classified requirement in this solicitation.

1. Owners/Offerors or their representative, with appropriate security clearances in place, must submit to the Contracting Officer a request to review the classified requirement within one business day of the issuance of this solicitation and then must make the necessary arrangements at their expense to view the classified requirement at the appointed place and time provided, which must be prior to the solicitation response date and time. The opportunity to review the classified requirement will be lost if the Contracting Officer does not receive a request on time or if the Owner/Offeror misses the appointment. There is no requirement to review the classified requirement prior to submitting an offer. Not reviewing the requirement prior to submitting an offer will not in and of itself render an offer ineligible for award.

2. Offers will be considered against this requirement before any other evaluation. An offer found not acceptable with this requirement will not be mailto:michelle.d.james7.civ@us.navy.mil further evaluated. Owners/Offerors will be notified if their offers were excluded because of this requirement.

b) Health and Safety Requirements:

1. Owner/Offeror shall provide the MSC Area Commander with any report required under U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Information Bulletin 02-20 (Change 7) (requiring hazardous conditions be reported), prior to entering the port.

2. Owner/Offeror shall provide in its proposal its company’s health and safety plans for its crew, related to the novel coronavirus for this mission. The plan will become part of the contract.

3. Owner/Offeror is advised that due to the time-sensitive and critical nature of the mission, including environmental factors, the Excusable Delay provision shall not apply if delay was caused by a breach of Owner’s Health and Safety Plan cited above, or was otherwise reasonably preventable by following U.S. Coast Guard or Center for Disease Control COVID-19 guidelines in publication at the time of breach.

4. Owner/Offeror agrees that crew and other embarked personnel may be ordered by the charterer to stay aboard the vessel during port visits under this charter as deemed necessary by the charterer or local government authorities. Further, the Owner/Offeror agrees that the charterer may limit access to the vessel by any shore-side personnel upon the vessel’s port calls during this charter.

c) Vessel must be a party to the Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) System, and Owner/Offeror must provide a copy of a Q-88 with a date no earlier than 60 days prior to offer submission.

d) Vessel’s Age – see TANKTIME 2022 (09-22) Part II (o) (7) Age of Vessel.

e) Vessel’s Q-88 must detail current acceptances and dates of inspection. There shall be at least one SIRE inspection not more than six months prior to the commencement of laydays under this charter; Owner/Offeror shall confirm that such inspections were satisfactory.

f) Vessel shall have a SBT.

g) Vessel shall have an IGS.

h) Vessel shall not exceed a maximum LOA of 205 meters.

i) Vessel shall not exceed a maximum DWT 45,000 MT. (Re-measuring DWT is allowed at owner’s expense. Re-measurement must be completed before tendering NOR. Upon tendering NOR the most current Q-88 must reflect the new DWT)

j) Vessel shall not exceed a maximum manifold height above waterline of 15.60 meters while in ballast.

k) Vessel shall be capable of maintaining a minimum Speed of Advance (SOA) of 13 knots in moderate weather (Force 5) while laden.

l) Owner/Offeror must provide a vessel stowage plan demonstrating the vessel’s ability to load a minimum of 235,000 bbls F76 while not exceeding a laden draft of 10.70 meters.

m) Owner/Offeror must provide a vessel stowage plan demonstrating the vessel’s ability to load a minimum 235,000 bbls JP5 while not exceeding a laden draft of 10.70 meters.

n) Owner/Offeror must provide a copy of vessel’s current Class Society issued Safety Management Certificate (SMC).

o) Owner/Offeror must provide a copy of vessel’s current Flag State issued International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC).

p) For U.S. flagged vessels, the Owner/Offeror must provide a copy of vessel’s current USCG Certificate of Inspection (COI). For foreign flagged vessels, the Owner/Offeror must provide a copy of vessel’s current USCG Certificate of Compliance (COC) (if issued), or the Flag State equivalent. A Flag State equivalent shall include information on any deficiencies discovered by the Flag State during the most recent inspection of the vessel, and remedies taken; the minimum manning requirements (e.g., Safe Manning Document); the safety equipment and appliances required on board; the total number of persons allowed to be on board the vessel; and the names of the owners and operators of the vessel. The COI, COC, or Flag State equivalent documents submitted by the Owner/Offeror shall be current and not expire throughout the duration of the charter.

q) Owner/Offeror must provide vessel itinerary from offer submission to intended arrival at load port.

r) The proposed vessel’s cargo tanks that are nominated by the Owner/Offeror to load the intended cargo must be compatible with the intended cargo. This compatibility will be assessed using the DLA-Energy Minimum Requirements for Preparation of Cargo Tanks Table 09-30-2021, hereby incorporated into the RFP and available upon request. The assessment for compatibility will be conducted based on the Certificates of Quality for the vessel’s last three cargoes.

s) Owner/Offeror must confirm upon arrival at the load port, the vessel shall be in a clean, gas-free condition and ready for internal tank inspection of the cargo tanks, which will be used to carry this product. These tanks and all additional cargo tanks, ballast tanks, slop tanks and/or void spaces adjacent to these tanks shall be clean and certified as gas free by a Certified Marine Chemist for the tank inspection prior to the ship being allowed to load the Government’s cargo. The Owner/Offeror shall provide at their expense a Certified Marine Chemist to certify the ship’s tanks are safe for entry for the internal tank inspection by the Government and/or Charterer representative. The Certified Marine

Chemist must enter all the ship’s cargo tanks in advance of the Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) and perform a full four-corner entry inspection. Certified Marine Chemist’s inspection must include all tank pockets identified by the QAR to the satisfaction of the QAR. If a prior (last, 2nd to last, or 3rd to last) cargo contained a percentage of benzene, the Owner’s/Offeror’ s Certified Marine Chemist must arrive to the vessel equipped with benzene detection tubes to measure toxicity for benzene content.

Acceptable benzene levels are as follows: (1) The maximum time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit is 1 part of benzene vapor per million parts of air (1 ppm) average for an 8-hour workday; and (2) the maximum short-term exposure limit (STEL) is 5 ppm for any 15-minute period. Gasoline tanks, after cleaning should be ventilated with forced air or acceptable means for as long as possible to ensure levels are reduced enough to allow entry. All safe for entry / toxicity / flammability assessments shall be performed in the presence of the inspecting QAR. Owner/Offeror shall provide time needed to re-inert after inspection.

t) Owner/Offeror must provide, if vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, coil type or composition (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.). If vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, Owner/Offeror must provide the date heating coils were last pressure tested and the results of the test (passed or failed). To be eligible for award, the result of the last pressure test must be “pass” and the date of the last pressure test cannot exceed 12 months for the duration of this charter. Vessels that have cargo tanks with coils that are incompatible with the cargo to be carried will be rejected.

u) If vessel cargo tanks are internally coated, Owner/Offeror shall provide the coating type

(epoxy, inorganic zinc, etc.). Coal tar coating is not acceptable. If tanks are not coated then state “none”. Coatings that are incompatible with the fuel to be carried will be rejected.

v) Owner/Offeror shall provide copies of Certificates of Quality for last three cargoes.

These Certificates must contain all test data required by specification for the products that were previously loaded (last three). Vessel Certificates of Quality from vessel post-load samples are preferred, but if unavailable shore tank Certificates of Quality representing quality of product loaded are acceptable. They shall be submitted for each shore tank as well as the vessel tanks after loading (composite sample). Results of “typical” are not acceptable. Additionally, the following are required for the specific products mentioned:

1. Naphtha / Condensates: Mercaptan Sulphur, reported in “parts per million” (ppm) or

“mass percent”, or Doctor Test (ASTMD 4952). Otherwise, Certificates of Quality must contain the test data required by the specification for the products which were loaded.

2. Gasoline (Motor or Aviation): It must be stated whether the previous product was

“leaded” or “unleaded”. This is needed to determine cargo tank “safe entry” testing requirements.

3. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME): The provisions of DLA-E “Minimum

Requirements for Preparation of Cargo Tanks Table 09-30-2021,” Note 5 apply.

When any of the last three non-DLA-E cargoes have consisted of diesel or heating oil products, FAME test (EN 14078 and ASTM D7371) results shall be provided for each applicable cargo; examples of diesel or heating oil products include, but are not limited to, ULSD, DF1, DF2, DS1, DS2, DSS, DSW, MGO, Gasoil, FS1, FS2, FS4, FS5, FS6, and IFO. In scenarios where FAME testing is not available for non-DLA- E cargoes, the applicable cargo shall be deemed to have contained FAME greater than 5 vol % and evaluation will be conducted under the Minimum Requirements for Preparation of Cargo Tanks Table 09-30-2021 under procedures for biodiesel blends greater than B5.

w) Owner/Offeror shall confirm vessel is able to take upper, middle, lower, bottom, and all-level samples of the cargo (to include OBQ & ROB) without contaminating them from the sampling location. If unable to do so or if the sampling location is contaminated or suspected to be contaminated, the Owner/Offeror agrees that the Charterer will require open sampling on a tank-by-tank basis, consistent with safety and local terminal regulations.

x) Owner/Offeror agrees where cargo is carried after contract award and prior to delivery to provide cargo type/description prior to loading, and applicable Certificates of Quality (to include all test data required in the initial RFP) for review within 48 hours after loading said cargo. Test shall be on a sample taken from the ship versus a representative sample from a shore facility. Any rejection of the Certificates of Quality by the Government shall result in the Government cancelling this contract at no cost to the Government. This compatibility will be assessed using the DLA-E Minimum Requirements for Preparation of Cargo Tanks Table 09-30-2021, hereby incorporated into the RFP and available upon request.

y) Owner/Offeror agrees vessel must meet all MSC requirements for reporting. Vessel shall provide position/status reports in-port and at-sea every six hours daily at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 hours GMT (Zulu) and 72/48/24/12 hr pre-arrival notifications for all ports to the appropriate Area Command and COMSC HQ Tankers.

6. MSC_BWC@US.NAVY.MIL

7. COMSC.TANKERS@NAVY.MIL

z) Vessel will be required submit a Monthly Voyage Abstract form on a monthly basis and emailed to COMSC.TANKERS@NAVY.MIL no later than the first day of the month following the month of performance. For time charters that complete prior to the end of the month, the report must be received no later than two calendar days after completion of charter (off-hire). Entries must start with the date the ship presents NOR and is accepted on hire. All columns must be completed as noted. Pull down menus for mailto:COMSC.TANKERS@NAVY.MIL columns C, X and Y are the only comments to be used. Built in macros/formulas are not to be altered.

aa) Confirm that Owner/Offeror agrees to all other terms and conditions as per TANKTIME

2020 (09-22)). Counters to TANKTIME 2022 (09-22) are not acceptable until written confirmation is provided by the charter.
