The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a 15-day dry cargo time charter requiring one U.S. or foreign flag vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 16,000 square feet of cargo and 167 TEUs. The vessel must have a maximum length of 660 feet, laden draft not exceeding 39.3 feet, and maintain a minimum laden speed of 15 knots while accommodating containers up to 42,000 pounds. The solicitation utilizes FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for commercial products and services with a firm-fixed-price contract structure anticipated. The government will evaluate proposals based on charter hire rates, fuel costs, and other pricing elements, with Marine Gas Oil priced at $1,068.87 per metric ton for Fiscal Year 2025. Offers are due by July 23, 2025, at 1100 Eastern Time, and the charter period is scheduled from August 29 to September 3, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract does not specify award values or budget ranges, though it includes detailed fuel consumption calculations and pricing templates to assist bidders in cost estimation. The charter involves delivery to Souda Bay, Crete and redelivery to Livorno, Italy, with the place of performance listed as Italy. The solicitation includes special provisions for imminent danger pay locations in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Straits, and Gulf of Aden, where MSC CIVMARS personnel will receive $225 per month or $7.50 per day while operating in those areas. The procurement falls under NAICS code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation and PSC code V124 for Marine Charter services.
