About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk Strategic Sealift Program Support Office has issued a Sources Sought Notice seeking information about Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) vessels for a 25-day time charter operation. The procurement involves transporting military cargo, specifically 15 MEDEVAC helicopters, 34 helicopter utility vehicles, 12 cargo helicopters, and 24 helicopter attack vehicles, from Bremerhaven, Germany to Beaumont, Texas. MSC is requesting comprehensive vessel information from potential providers, including detailed vessel descriptions, daily charter rates, fuel consumption data, deck space specifications, ramp door heights, and supercargo capacity. The solicitation requires responses to include business size details and operates under NAICS code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation. All responses must be submitted via email to Jordan Morrison by 1000 Eastern Time on August 20, 2025.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. The charter period is scheduled to commence on November 25, 2025, providing contractors with approximately three months lead time for preparation. The small business size standard is established at 1,050 employees under the applicable NAICS code, and large businesses are specifically encouraged to identify potential subcontracting opportunities for small business participation. The 25-day charter duration represents a significant maritime transportation commitment requiring specialized RO/RO vessel capabilities to accommodate the diverse military helicopter inventory. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the current sources sought documentation.
