About this file
This is Amendment 0003 to RFP N3220526R6088 issued by Military Sealift Command Norfolk, Strategic Sealift Program Support Office on June 3, 2026. The amendment reopens the solicitation for vessel charter services and modifies key requirements and deadlines.
The requirement is for U.S. or foreign flag roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) vessels capable of transporting MV22 aircraft and approximately 40,000 square feet of rolling stock and general cargo. Multiple awards are available for up to two vessels or until government needs are satisfied, with a minimum capacity of 20,000 square feet per vessel. Vessels must feature slewing, quarter, or fixed side-ramp configurations (fixed stern ramp vessels do not meet requirements) and be capable of deploying to piers, improved structures, and floating barges at the waterline. Ramps must sustain heavy USMC vehicle loads with traction elements for safe operation in wet conditions. The charter period is 180 days plus a 180-day option, with vessels transiting between ports in the Western Pacific region to support U.S. Marine Corps missions and exercises. Loading, unloading, and securing government property will be primarily coordinated by the vessel owner with sponsor personnel assistance. The layday period commences August 12, 2026 at 0800 hours local time and cancels September 15, 2026 at 1600 hours local time. Previously submitted timely offers must be reaffirmed or resubmitted; failure to do so results in non-consideration. The new offer due date is Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at 1100 Eastern Time. The government intends to award without discussions, requiring offerors to submit best terms initially.
