About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking proposals for up to four self-sustaining Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro/Ro) vessels to support dry cargo time charter operations under solicitation N3220526R6080. The vessels must be capable of carrying a minimum of 110,000 square feet of military cargo, including wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, and breakbulk items, with a maximum total capacity of 426,530 square feet and a minimum laden speed of 15 knots. Proposals must include detailed vessel information such as name, charter hire price, Certificate of Inspection, stow plans with trim and stability calculations, and fuel consumption declarations. Award will be made to the responsible offeror with the lowest technically acceptable evaluated price, with evaluation considering charter hire rates for the 21-day period, fuel costs at $1,500.83 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil, and other pricing elements. The proposal submission deadline is Monday, May 4, 2026 at 1400 Eastern Time, with contact information provided for Jordan Morrison and Brandon Page at Military Sealift Command Norfolk.
This procurement is not set-aside for any specific entity, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation materials. The charter will operate on approximately 21-day voyages with pickup in Bremerhaven, Germany and redelivery in Corpus Christi, Texas, with four layday/canceling dates offered between June 22 and July 4, 2026. Specific award values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation, as pricing will be determined through competitive evaluation of submitted proposals. The solicitation is structured as a spot charter acquisition under FAR Part 12 simplified procedures with anticipated firm-fixed-price contract awards. Performance will take place in Texas, USA, with the operation subject to Service Contract Act wage determinations applicable to U.S. Navy deep sea vessel services and extensive compliance requirements including hull and machinery insurance, $500 million protection and indemnity coverage, and participation in MSC reporting systems.
