About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command, under the Department of the Navy, is soliciting proposals for a 115-day dry cargo time charter vessel through RFP N3220526R6014. The procurement seeks a U.S. or foreign flag commercial vessel capable of transporting containerized ammunition and other military cargo, including hazardous materials, to support military readiness and cargo repositioning worldwide. The vessel must meet specific technical specifications, including a minimum capacity of 400 TEUs, maximum length of 524.9 feet, maximum laden draft of 36.08 feet, and minimum laden speed of 13 knots. Evaluation criteria focus on technical compliance with vessel specifications and hazmat segregation requirements, pricing competitiveness including daily charter rates and fuel consumption costs, and Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) status. Proposals are due Monday, November 3, 2025, at 1100 Eastern Time, with the charter period commencing December 7, 2025, and canceling December 19, 2025. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract without discussions, though it reserves the right to conduct discussions if necessary.
This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and is an unrestricted acquisition under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation). The total net explosive weight of projected cargo is approximately 1,000,000 pounds, with anticipated average TEU weights of 25,000 pounds and maximum TEU weights of 40,000 pounds. Fuel pricing is established at $1,188.68 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil, with the spreadsheet provided supporting calculations for fuel consumption across 101 days underway and 14 days in-port idle time. The charter vessel will deliver and redeliver at the Military Ocean Terminal in Sunny Point, North Carolina, which serves as the place of performance. While specific budget values are not disclosed in the solicitation materials, the comprehensive fuel consumption documentation and wage determination requirements for maritime crews indicate a substantial procurement effort designed to ensure vessel readiness and compliance with applicable labor standards.
