About this file
This document is Amendment 0002 to RFP N3220526R6136 issued by Military Sealift Command Norfolk, Strategic Sealift Program Support Office on 30 October 2026.
The amendment modifies vessel requirements and submission deadlines for a ship charter solicitation. The Government seeks one U.S. or foreign flag, ice-class, self-sustaining lift-on/lift-off (LO/LO) breakbulk vessel to support resupply operations. The vessel must have a minimum capacity of 750 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) and a minimum of 50 reefer plugs (230V/60Hz/3 phase), and must be capable of carrying a minimum of 11,250 short tons—the anticipated total weight of combined cargo. Laydays commence 28 December 2026 and cancel 31 December 2026, with offerors required to provide an estimated time of arrival and a 30-day itinerary prior to vessel delivery demonstrating ability to meet the required laydays. The amendment designates specific submission requirements: owners/offerors must submit a warranty acknowledging compliance with all solicitation requirements and corresponding proforma, and must submit items 1A, 1B, 5, and 6E; the warranty validates acknowledgment of remaining specified items. Offerors who previously submitted timely offers must either reaffirm their existing offer or resubmit it in full; failure to do so will result in non-consideration for award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award without discussions. The revised offer due date is Wednesday, 4 November 2026 at 1300 Eastern Time, per amended Standard Form 1449, Box 8. All other terms and conditions from the original RFP dated 24 September 2026 remain unchanged.
