About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking Roll-on Roll-off (RO-RO) vessels for a 25-day dry cargo time charter to transport military equipment from Alexandroupolis, Greece to Corpus Christi, Texas. The charter will involve moving 47 military helicopters of various sizes and weights, along with PLS transporter trucks, between March 21 and April 4, 2025. Interested vessels must meet specific technical requirements, including a minimum door height of 20 feet, deck height clearance exceeding 7'5", and capacity to handle diverse cargo types. Potential contractors must provide comprehensive vessel details, including daily charter rates, fuel consumption rates, deck space specifications, and company information. Responses are due by 1000 hours Eastern Time on February 11, 2025, and must be submitted via email to Matthew Price, with participants required to specify their business size status under NAICS 483111.
The solicitation does not include a specific set-aside designation and is open to both U.S. and foreign flag vessels. Large businesses are encouraged to detail potential subcontracting opportunities, and all respondents must provide their Unique Entity Identifier. The charter includes five days of SSHEX (Sundays, Saturdays, Holidays Excluded) for the entire mission, with F.I.O.S.S. (Free In and Free Out, Stowed and Secured) terms for loading and discharge. While no specific award value is mentioned, the complexity of the cargo—including 3 MEDEVAC helicopters, 44 utility helicopters of varying weights, and PLS transporter trucks—suggests a significant logistical and financial undertaking. The solicitation falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation category with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees, indicating potential opportunities for mid-sized maritime transportation companies.
