About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a 120-day special time charter of a Jones Act-qualified vessel to support Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division maritime operations in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean regions. The solicitation (N3220526R6016) seeks a U.S. flag, U.S.-built and crewed vessel capable of complex at-sea missions including mine deployment and recovery, towing operations, Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) operations, and housing test personnel. Key vessel requirements include dynamic positioning capability, a minimum 30-foot crane with 4,000 lbs lifting capacity, a maximum 12-foot draft, and minimum 25-foot beam with at least 50x20 feet of open deck space. Evaluation will be conducted on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, with considerations for domestic shipyard usage and cargo preference under the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement program. The proposal deadline is November 3, 2025, with the charter period commencing January 19, 2026.
No set-asides are designated for this acquisition. The contract represents a follow-on requirement to the current contract N3220520C2258. The charter period is 120 days with one 50-day option period, and the government contemplates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract with pricing based on comprehensive evaluation of charter hire rates, fuel consumption, and associated costs. Contractors must comply with Service Contract Act wage determinations for maritime occupations, with minimum wages ranging from $91.24 per hour for a Master to $12.96 per hour for an Ordinary Seaman, plus fringe benefits including health and welfare, vacation, and paid holidays. Place of performance is Panama City, Florida, USA, with the vessel required to support 12 shipboard test personnel and provide accommodation and meals for up to 20 supercargo and government personnel as specified in Amendment A0001.
