About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking information regarding a 143-day dry cargo time charter for Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) vessels capable of transporting military cargo. The procurement requires vessels capable of carrying 50,000 square feet of military cargo, including helicopters, tracked and wheeled vehicles, and breakbulk cargo. Interested vendors must submit detailed vessel information, including vessel description, daily charter hire rates, fuel consumption specifications, deck space specifications, and supercargo accommodation capacity by 1100 hours Eastern Time on November 12, 2025. The Federal Acquisition Regulation establishes the small business size standard for this water transportation service under NAICS 483111 with a 1,050-employee threshold. Large businesses responding to this notice are required to provide information about potential subcontracting opportunities. The responses should be directed to Matthew Price at matthew.r.price40.civ@us.navy.mil.
This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for any particular business category, meaning both U.S. and foreign flag vessels are eligible for consideration. The charter will commence on January 5, 2026, with delivery and redelivery ports both located in Everett, Washington. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the 143-day duration and specialized cargo capacity requirements indicate a significant maritime services contract. The notice requests comprehensive operational and financial details from potential vendors to inform subsequent solicitation development. No incumbent contractor or current contract information is referenced in the pre-solicitation documentation. This notice represents an early opportunity for interested maritime service providers to engage with MSC prior to the formal solicitation release.
