About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking to charter up to three Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) vessels for military cargo transportation under RFP N3220525R4071. The solicitation requires vessels capable of carrying 393,048 square feet or 20,489.2 short tons of cargo, including helicopters, wheeled and tracked vehicles, and breakbulk materials, with a minimum laden speed of 15 knots. Proposed vessels can be U.S. or foreign-flagged and must transport cargo from Pyeongtaek, Republic of Korea to Tacoma, Washington during a 23-day charter period with laydays between 17-25 June 2025. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR 15 Contracting by Negotiation, with proposals due by 17 April 2025 at 1100 Eastern Time. Evaluation criteria will focus on charter hire rates, fuel costs, and the percentage of cargo list each vessel can carry, with a target of awarding contracts to the three lowest-priced technically acceptable proposals.
The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations and will be open to all qualified vendors. The charter requires a minimum of two supercargo per vessel and notes that the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Straits, and Gulf of Aden are designated imminent danger pay locations. The fuel pricing is standardized at $1,068.87 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil, which will be a key component of cost calculations. Performance will occur primarily in maritime routes between Korea and the United States, with the primary geographical points being Pyeongtaek and Tacoma. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the charter suggests a significant procurement investment for military logistics and cargo transportation capabilities.
