About this file

This document amends a solicitation for a tugboat contract to tow a Navy yard craft. The Military Sealift Command is seeking a Jones Act compliant, coastwise endorsed, ocean-going tugboat capable of towing yard craft YC-1633 according to Navy towing manuals. Offerors who previously submitted a bid must reaffirm or resubmit their offer by the new due date of March 15, 2021 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The amendment adds the requirement for the vessel to comply with the Jones Act and checks the provision evaluating preference for use of domestic shipyards for carriage of DOD cargo in the coastwise or noncontiguous trades. Offerors currently proposing a Jones Act compliant vessel must confirm compliance.

The key details are the amendment reopens the solicitation, changes the vessel requirements to be Jones Act compliant, sets a new bid reaffirmation/resubmission deadline of March 15, 2021 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, and adds a provision evaluating preference for use of domestic shipyards. The Military Sealift Command is procuring a tugboat to tow a Navy yard craft in accordance with amended solicitation N32205-21-R-4160.
